You measured and recorded the mass of a potato slice before placing it in an unknown solution.  You recorded the weight as 23 grams.  You placed the potato slice in the unknown solution, and let it soak in the solution for 24 hours.  After that, you re-measured the mass of the potato slice and found that the mass had decreased to 11 grams after soaking.  Given this information, what can be said about the osmolarity of the unknown solution?

Elodea cells were placed in solutions that were either isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic (relative to the Elodea cell contents). You mixed up your labels, but know that one of each solution was used in your experiment.  (Hint: plants have central vacuoles). Given the appearance of the cells in image A, the SOLUTION must be ___________________ compared to the Elodea cells.

In the enzyme lab, we looked at peroxidase activity -an enzyme typically involved in the top reaction of the image below. However, the enzyme will also interact with phenolic compounds like guaiacol instead of NADH (see bottom reaction). We used guaiacol because it changes color to from clear to brown as a way to measure peroxidase activity. Based on what you know and the image Guaiacol (clear) is the ___________________ form of guaiacol while Guaiacol (brown) is the _______________ form of guaiacol.
