Enzyme-Controlled Reactions Virtual Lab

Enzyme Activity: http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/virtual_labs/BL_11/BL_11.html
Perform the lab and write up a conclusion using the evidence from the data in which you are collecting. In order to use the graph you will have to enter your data on pH into the virtual data table. You can you use the data from the graph to explain your results as well. The graphs can also be printed out so if you want to print them and add them to your lab book you can. All Virtual Labs are due on Wednesday of this week no later. You can utilize my room as a site for completing the lab during lunch if necessary.

Understanding Free Radicals and Antioxidants

Respond to the following article: http://www.healthchecksystems.com/antioxid.htm
what am i looking for: Intro: what are free radicals and how are they formed, what is an antioxidant
secondly what are some effects of free radicals on the body. Furthermore what is the purpose of an antioxidant and how do they attact free radicals. Why is this article relevant to what we are studying at this moment: elements and compounds and why is your health important.
I will be looking for responses to this article to be detailed and specific. Use the article as a reference but fill free to look for other relevant sources of documentation. If you choose to use other documentation please site where the information comes from (If you plagerize and do not give credit you will receive a zero). I have my ways of checking.
