Summary Introduction

Case summary:

The high concentrations of potassium ions cause depolarization of the resting membrane potential.

Adequate information:

Increase in the blood potassium levels can lead to vasodilation because smooth muscles make up the blood vessels.

To determine:

The effect of increased blood potassium levels on smooth muscle function.

Given information:

The depolarization of the resting membrane potential is caused by the high concentration of potassium ions.

Introduction:

The action potential comprises of two phases:

  1. Depolarization
  2. Repolarization

The stimulation of cell causes the depolarization to occur due to which the plasma membrane gets positively charged from inside. Repolarization leads to returning of membrane potential to resting value.

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),…
