The Effect of Temperature on the Enzyme Catalase Stephen Francis Biology 183 Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the resultant effect of temperature change on the reaction between the enzyme catalase and hydrogen peroxide. This experiment was performed by measuring and comparing the amount of oxygen bubbles produced and the absorbance of the catalase and hydrogen peroxide solution over time at room temperature‚ 2°C‚ 50°C‚ and 60°C. The overall result of this experiment proved

aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of caffeine on resting body temperature. This has to do with homeostasis‚ which is the maintenance of equilibrium. In other words‚ it is a stable body state. Homeostasis refers to the process of keeping the internal body environment in a steady state‚ when the external environment is changed (Homeostasis 2). Humans are warm-blooded creatures that generate body heat internally and maintain body temperatures at a fairly constant level – about 98.6oF

ACETANILIDE ABSTRACT Recrystallization is the primary method for purifying solid organic compounds through the differences in solubility at different temperatures. In this experiment‚ a suitable solvent was first determined. Acetanilide was produced by acetylation of aniline with acetic anhydride. The crude acetanilide was dissolved in a solvent in a heating water bath. The hot solution was filtered and the filtrate‚ cooled slowly in an ice bath as crystals started forming out. As the compound crystallizes from the solution

THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CATALASE RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the effect of various temperatures‚ 0°C‚ room temperature‚ 37°C‚ 50°C‚ 60°C‚ on the number of oxygen gas bubbles liberated‚ in a decomposition reaction between the enzyme Catalase‚ obtained from crushed mung beans‚ and 2% of the substrate Hydrogen Peroxide? INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions without they themselves being involved in the reaction itself. Enzymes are proteins

is a crucial component to acid rain (1). H2SO3 causes burns in all exposure routes‚ its target organs are the respiratory system if inhaled‚ eyes through direct contact‚ skin through direct contact and gastrointestinal system if ingested. However‚ there is no chronic health hazards with H2SO3 (2). If Sulfurous acid is inhaled medical attention should be sought out immediately‚ the individual should be removed from the exposure to a more ventilated area with fresh air. If breathing remains difficult

investigate the effect of temperature on the enzyme catalase. The original research question was exploring the effect temperature would have on a yeast catalase reacting with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). To address the latter question a series of experiments were conducted. The various temperatures experimented with were as follows: 22 degrees Celsius (room temperature)‚ 0 degrees Celsius (freezing)‚ 100 degrees Celsius (boiling)‚ and 37 degrees Celsius. Along with variations in temperature‚ the experiment

Cell Structure Vocabulary Cell Membrane → the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell. Cell Wall → a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants‚ fungi‚ and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants‚ it consists mainly of cellulose. Cellular Respiration → A series of metabolic processes that take place within a cell in which biochemical energy is harvested from organic substance (e.g. glucose) and stored as energy carriers
