Enzyme Activity Lab

Objective: To determine the effect of temperature, PH and enzyme concentration on catalase activity.
Introduction: What is an enzyme and how the enzyme works.
Any of a group of complex proteins or conjugated proteins thatare produced by living cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions.
The system in which enzymes work is often referred to as the 'lock and key' system it’s where the enzyme and the substrate lock together.
The substrate then unlocks into small properties
Leaving the enzyme unharmed but the substrate having formed into its products
Below is the formula enzyme + substrate ↔ enzyme- substrate complex ↔ enzyme + products
[ E ] + [ S ] ↔ [ ES ] ↔ [ E ] + [ P ]
Materials:
Potato Cubes (contains the enzyme catalase)
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrochloric Acid
Sodium Hydroxide
PH Paper
Hot Plate with Boiling Water
Sucrose Solution
Metric Ruler
Experience:
Table 6.1 Catalase Activity Tube | Contents | Bubble Column Height | Explanation | 1 | Catalase Hydrogen Peroxide | 6mm/ 10mm (4minutes later) | Catalase reaction to Hydrogen Peroxide makes bubble height | 2 | Water Hydrogen | 0mm | Water doesn’t react to or with Hydrogen. Water only dilutes. No enzyme | 3 | Catalase Sucrose Solution | 0mm | Substrate was absent |

Table 6.2 Effect of Temperature Tube | Temperature ˚C | Bubble Column Height (mm) | Explanation | 1 | | | | 2 | | | | 3 Boiling Water | 98˚C | 0mm | Hot temperature water kills enzymes |

Table 6.3 Effect of Enzyme Concentration Tube | Amount of Enzyme | Bubble Column Height (mm) | Explanation | 1 | 1 Drop | 4mm (10minutes) | | 2 | 10 Drops | 28mm (10minutes) | The more enzyme the more bubble height | 3 | | | |

Table 6.4 Effect of pH Tube | pH | Bubble Height Column (mm) | Explanation | 1 | 1-2 | Red | Hydro Cloric Acid. No Catalase Activity | 2 | 6-7 | Yellow-Green4mm | Catalase, Water, Hydrogen Peroxide. Good Catalase Activity | 3 | 12-13

    The control plates used in transformation are the LB and second LB/Amp plates marked with a “-“. The control for restriction digest was the ladder. The independent variables are the different cultures of the E. coli, and the +LB/Amp and +LB/Amp/ara plates form the experiment group. The dependent variable is whether the cells glow green under the UV light and whether they are resistant to ampicillin or not. The variables in restriction digest are the other 4 samples. The dependent variable is the length that the DNA fragments travel while the independent variable is the size of the DNA fragments.…

    The Sugar Act The Sugar Act was not really new legislation by the time British Parliament passed it in 1764, but mere an extension of the 1733 Molasses Act. The Molasses Act placed an import tax of 6 pence per gallon of molasses and a 5 shilling tax per hundred pounds of sugar not produced in the British West Indies. Colonists generally ignored the Molasses Act and intimidated tax officials or smuggled the contraband into the colonies.…

    There are many types of enzymes and each has a specific job. Enzymes are particular types of proteins that help to speed up some reactions, such as reactants going to products. One of them is the amylase enzyme. Amylases are found in saliva, and pancreatic secretions of the small intestine. The function of amylase is to break down big molecules of starch into small molecules like glucose; this process is called hydrolysis. Enzymes are very specific; for example, amylase is the only enzyme that will break down starch. It is similar to the theory of the lock and the key. The enzyme is the lock and the key is the substrate; only the correct key could fit into the keyhole of the lock.…

    A wondrous thing is defying nature, which is the purpose of a device built to stop an egg from breaking at a height of 7 meters. The egg will fall onto a piece of paper, with cotton underneath, which is supported by a net of rubber bands, which are hoisted up by thick wood sticks. Also balloons are tied below to catch some of the force, and then just drop the egg. After the egg was dropped, it was a success; it landed smoothly and had no cracks. So this device catches the egg, and the force the egg brings so that it lands safely.…

    I’m doing my science project on which food wrapping will prevent freezer burn the best aluminum foil, plastic bags, or freezer paper. This experiment seemed interesting to me because a lot of people get freezer burn on their foods. My mother also gets freezer burn on her foods a lot and she always tries different food wrappings but none of them seem to work. This project will benefit people from getting freezer burn on their food, and so they will know which wrapping is the worse to use and the one that is less preventable.…
