Introduction “The Enzyme Reaction” An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst‚ which brings out a biochemical reaction. A Catalase enzyme‚ the enzyme tested in this experiment‚ is found in almost all living organisms that are exposed daily to oxygen (such as fruits‚ vegetables and animals). Background Information The Catalase enzyme in this experiment is known for being less affective the warmer the temperature is. According to “Science fair projects” an enzyme becomes unstable

An investigation to show how the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate is affected by the concentration of the acid Simple Procedure Place a conical flask on a piece of paper with a cross on it. Add hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate‚ and record the amount of time taken for the cross to disappear through the solution from the top of the flask. Record this time and repeat this for different concentrations of hydrochloric acid. Fair Test The variables in

Design: Investigation of Fermentation Introduction Introduction Yeast (Saccharomyces)is a single-celled microorganism in the Fungi family. It anaerobically respires sugars to produce ATP‚ as well as the waste products ethanol and carbon dioxide gas. This process is known as fermentation. There are various factors that affect the rate at which yeast respires. Aim To investigate the effect of concentration of table salt (sodium chloride) on the rate of fermentation of sucrose using yeast‚ measured

The effect on rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction by different objectives which include effect of substrate‚ temperature‚ ph and effect of a competitive inhibitor phosphate ions. This is determined by the reaction of hydrolysis by p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNP) as a substrate by the enzyme phosphatase. Abstract The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate has been studied in human red blood cells. To see if hydrolysis was related to the functioning of the sodium pump. Acid phosphatase catalysis’s

Clocking the Speed of Light Why is the speed of light important? -Having a accurate number for the speed of light allows for accurate measurements of the universe around us -Even small inaccuracies make large differences when measuring the space between stars‚ planets‚ and galaxies -The more precise our measurement of the speed of light the more precise our measurements are of the universe because light is the universal measurement used Light as Infinite -Most scholars agreed that light
