Just a quick runthrough of the answers to today’s worksheet:
The enzyme we were discussing was bromelain and it comes from pineapples. If you make pineapple jell-o without first cooking the pineapple, the bromelain will break down its substrate. In this case the substrate would be the proteins in the gelatin. Cooking the pineapple will break down, or degrade, the bromelain, but maintain the taste of the pineapple. None of your jello samples set because there was bromelain in any form of the uncooked pineapple.
All classes will be having their first exams on friday.

Here is an online flashcard utility, just in case you’re not sure of spelling or definitions, or if you’re just looking for a way to study up.
Anyone know a cheap way to make a wimshurst machine?
If I could connect the wimshurst to the van de graaff sphere and the other side to myself (while standing on an insulated stool), the bubbles would travel back and forth between the sphere and me along the field lines…
