BIOL 1103L Week 4 Asynchronous Remote Assignment Introduction to Carb Cutter Refer to the About Standard Curves file in eLC and answer the following based on the information provided 1 What overall conclusion can you draw from the data depicted in the graph 1pt The more a car weighs the more gas it uses 2 How much gas would a 40 kg go cart use 1pt Somewhere between 100 110 ml of gas 3 Predict how much gas a 100 kg go cart would use Explain how you determined this value 1pt Somewhere between 250 275 ml of gas 4 You buy a tank that holds 200 ml of gas What is the maximum weight your go cart can have to consume exactly 200 ml of gas 1pt 70kg Refer to the eLC file Starch Standard Curve and answer the following based on the information provided 5 You have two tubes A and B that initially contain the same concentration of starch The resulting absorbance value for both Tube A and B is 0 74 Using the standard curve what is the concentration of starch in these tubes 1 5 pts 15 mg ml 1 Now you add one microgram of amylase enzyme to Tube B and then let both tubes sit for ten minutes The resulting absorbance value for Tube B is 0 56 Using the standard curve estimate the starch concentration in Tube B 1 pt mg ml 12 2 Explain why you see a difference in concentration between the two samples after 10 minutes 2 pts The starch is broken down by the amylase enzyme into into glucose molecules 3 Now that you have determined the initial concentration of starch in Tube B and the final concentration calculate this rate of reaction in g L per minute using the formula below 1 5 pts 3 g L initial concentration final concentration BIOL 1103L Week 4 Asynchronous Remote Assignment Introduction to Carb Cutter time
