Effect of different temperatures on the rate of an enzyme controlled reaction I will place starch and amylase into five water baths which are at different temperatures‚ and record the time it takes to break down the starch in the solution. Independent variables The independent variable is what I am going to change in my experiment. In this case it is the temperature of the water in the five water baths- 10‚ 25‚ 40‚ 55‚ 70 degrees Celsius Dependant variable This is what will stay the

structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell and is named according to the substrate they specifically affect. An enzyme works best under optimal conditions pertaining to temperature‚ pH level and salt concentration1. In unfavorable conditions enzymes will become denatured and ineffective

The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity and Oxygen Production Throughout this report you will gain information as to how temperature effects the amount of oxygen produced in an enzyme- catalase experiment. In the experiment we used liver extract as a catalase and created a chemical reaction within a reaction chamber between the catalase and hydrogen peroxide as well as three different controlled temperatures. In the procedure below there will be a step by step process as to how

Interpretation and Evaluation of Results Interpretation: The results from the experiment determining the effects of pH on enzyme activity show that as the independent variable‚ pH‚ increases the dependent variable‚ percentage transmission‚ decreases. This is shown in the results as at the lowest pH‚ pH 4.0 the average percentage transmission is at its highest at 97%. At the highest pH‚ pH 8.0 the average transmission is 78.5%. This is also supported from the graph as it produces a negative gradient

Enzymes are proteins or nucleic acids that catalyze reactions. They are able to speed up reactions by reducing the activation energy of a reaction. Each kind of enzyme has a specific shape that matches its substrate so it can bind to its active site. Enzymes convert their substrates into a product. Enzyme activity are affected by factors such as temperature‚ pH‚ and time. If an enzyme is exposed to extreme heat‚ it will become denatured‚ that is‚ to become deformed and lose its original shape which

The purpose of these experiments was to probe and manipulate the activity of the enzyme peroxidase by varying temperature‚ pH‚ the amount of enzyme compared to the substrate and the effect of hydroxylamine. Peroxidase activity is expressed when the potato extract is subjected to stresses such as low temperature (El-hilali et al.‚ 2012). The most eye catching factors that we tested for their impact on enzyme activity

Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reaction but are not themselves consumed or changed by the reaction. The cell’s biological catalysts are proteins. Proteins are made up of one or more polypeptide chains that are folded to make an active site‚ an area in which a material to be acted on by the enzyme‚ called the substrate‚ will fit. The temperature‚pH‚ the concentration of enzyme‚ and the concentration of substrate all affect the activity of the enzyme and the rate of the reaction. The

Investigating the effect of changing substrate concentration on the activity of the enzyme catalase The aim of this experiment is to examine how the concentration of a substrate (hydrogen peroxide) affects the rate of reaction of an enzyme catalyse (found in liver cells) Research Question: how does changing the concentration of the substrate affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse? Hypothesis: As the concentration of the substrate increases‚ so does the rate of reaction until the reaction
