Summary Introduction

To determine: The things required for a cell to make it large.

Introduction: The discovery of the cell was given by the Dutch scientist called Robert Hooke in 1665. Another Dutch microbiologist, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, was observed living cells which termed ‘animalcules.’

Explanation of Solution

A cell is the smallest part that can be visible only under the microscope. A structure of a cell consists of four major features that are common in all cell types, such as a nucleoid or nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane. A nucleoid or nucleus contains the genetic information of an individual.

In a eukaryotic cell, the nucleus is covered by a membrane called the nuclear envelope. The DNA is carrying the genes that code for the protein synthesis by the cell. The cytoplasm is a semifluid matrix that presents inside the cell and contains sugars, amino acids, and proteins.

These molecules carry daily activities. A cell is consisting of a plasma membrane that is responsible for separating its content from its environment. The plasma membrane is made up of a phospholipid membrane. The ribosomes are present in prokaryotic cells that carry out protein synthesis. All this content is to make the cell larger because the cell is responsible for carrying all the body functions.

Awnser these Discussion Questions Answer these discussion questions and submit them as part of your lab report. Part A: The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the temperature of the solution. How is the oxygen production in 30 seconds related to the rate of the reaction? At what temperature is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why might the enzyme activity decrease at very high temperatures? Why might a high fever be dangerous to humans? What is the optimal temperature for enzymes in the human body? Part B: The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the pH of the solution. At what pH is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why does changing the pH affect the enzyme activity? Research the enzyme catalase. What is its function in the human body? What is the optimal pH for the following enzymes found in the human body? Explain. (catalase, lipase (in your stomach),…
