was designed to investigate the effects of temperature on reactions between the enzyme catalase found in animal tissue with the substrate H2O2. The hypothesis stated that an increase in the temperature of the substrate would create a subsequent increase in the rate of reaction between the enzyme and the substrate. This hypothesis was tested by immersing 1cm cubes of animal tissue (sheep liver) which contained the enzyme catalase into the substrate (H2O2 ) mixed with detergent which foamed showing a

ENZYMES LABORATORY REPORT Introduction The utilization of any complex molecule for energy by an organism is dependent on a process called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis breaks complex molecules into simpler molecules using water. Similarly‚ the process that is the reverse of this is called dehydration synthesis‚ which removes water from simpler molecules. However‚ because hydrolysis occurs very slowly‚ living organisms use biochemical’s called enzymes to speed up the reaction. In this lab exercise

as the formation of energy storing units. To facilitate the metabolic rate of the cells in the body trace elements‚ existing in the form of ions and cations‚ act as the cofactors in useful enzymatic chemical reactions in the cell body. Different enzymes have been realized to perform optimally when certain favourable conditions provided by the

These may be over time‚ e.g. winter fur to summer fur‚ or quickly‚ e.g. changing size of pupils. Internal environments change too- the build up of carbon dioxide as a result of respiration changes the pH of the tissue fluid‚ and therefore inhibits enzyme activity. Multicellular organisms need to coordinate different organs‚ so this requires a good communication system which will: • Cover the whole body • Enable cells to communicate with each other • Enable specific communication • Enable rapid

Enzyme Specificity Using Beta-galactosidase and Alpha-galactosidase Introduction: In order to survive‚ organisms need reactions to occur at a certain time and place. Enzymes make these reactions happen. Enzymes are highly specific causing only one enzyme to catalyze one reaction. “Induced fit” explains why enzymes act this certain way. An enzyme will surround a certain substrate and form to it for the reaction to occur in the active site. If it doesn’t form to it‚ the reaction will not occur

acid solution would be titrated by slowly adding drops of solution into NaOH‚ and the volume of base needed to react with the acid is measured throughout. By using those data‚ the students are able to find what they were trying to calculate. On this lab‚ the students found the unknown acid‚ 4.36 x 10-5‚ and the equivalence point of 8.4‚ as well as the value of pH. Purpose: The purpose of the experiment was to utilize the techniques of titrations to measure the concentration of an acid or base in

known as germ warfare — is the deliberate use of disease-causing biological agents such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ or biological toxins‚ to kill or incapacitate humans‚ animals or plants as an act of war. Biological weapons (often termed "bio-weapons" or "bio-agents") are living organisms or replicating entities (viruses) that reproduce or replicate within their host victims. Entomological (insect) warfare is also considered a type of BW. Biological weapons may be employed in various ways to
