Enzyme Catalysis Lab: Laboratory Write Up Problem/Question: What happens to the amounts of gas produced in a catalyzed reaction of Hydrogen Peroxide when the catalyst is mixed with an acid? Theory/Hypothesis: In this experiment the researcher and their team will be performing tests on a catalyst (proteins found in potato) to see what will happen when the catalyst in a Hydrogen Peroxide reaction is treated with an acid before the reaction occurs. The researcher hypothesizes that the after treating

The Variation of Yeast Cells When Adding an Antibiotic Biology 1401- A October 21‚ 2013 Abstract. -- The main focus in this experiment was to find out if antibiotics affect yeast cells culture when added. The observation of the two cultures along with the yield of yeast cell reproduction between the two cultures was the sole purpose of the experiment; culture-A (- antibiotic) and culture-B (+ antibiotic). Our hypothesis stated whether antibiotic effects yeast cells cultures. This theory was

Lab Ex#8: "Enzymes: Catalysts of Life" INTRODUCTION Enzymes are protein organelles where chemical reactions take place to generate energy within our cells. Without the energy produced from the cell enzyme activity‚ we would not possess the catalyst activity necessary for energy to produce movement. Each enzyme performs a specific function within our bodies. Those functions performed can be significantly altered with the introduction of variables outside their environment. Variables‚ such as temperature

Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to measure the extent of enzyme reaction on given substrates by means of color change. The reaction followed is given below: Tyrosinase³ Enzyme Pyrocatechol Hydroxyquinone Oxidation/Reduction Pink ³ Brown E+S + [ES] = E+P Enzyme Reaction Hypothesis: If there is an increase in enzyme concentration‚ an increase in reaction temperature‚ or an increase in buffer pH‚ then greater

Lab report April 14‚ 2013 Abstract: In this article‚ we will experiment on the significant in strength of the enzyme by using three different test tubes and measuring the amount of product they give off. To determine this we are going to test the amount of color absorbance by using a special tool to help us understand our results. We will see how our end results show the effect of the amount of concentration we apply to each test tube. The results would be shown by the support of two graphs

Enzymes are organic catalysts; where a substance speeds up the rate of chemical reactions without changing being changed by the reactions. In lab they tested this by seeing how H2O2 and the catalysts from the banana and liver react to make H2O+O2. Depending on different conditions; like decomposition of H2O2 (surface area)‚ temperature on function‚ reusing the catalase‚ reaction rate of iced liver returned to room temperature‚ and effects of pH on enzyme activity‚ to see how much O2 was released

Introduction Enzymes are key players in metabolism. A metabolism is the organic processes in a cell or an organism that are necessary for life. An enzyme affects the rate at which a reaction occurs when the activation energy is lowered. In this reaction the reactant is called the substrate which is that combine with enzymes molecules to form a temporary enzyme substrate complex. During this products are formed and the enzyme molecules released is unchanged. For the substrate complex to form the

1. Prepare a lactase enzyme solution by dissolving one lactase enzyme tablet in 200 ml of water in a clean 250 ml beaker. Stir until the tablet has dissolved. Use labeling tape to label the beaker: “Lactase Enzyme Solution.” 2. Prepare a “denatured” enzyme solution by pouring 20 ml of your enzyme solution into a heat resistant tube. The test tube must have the words “Kimax” or “Pyrex” on it. If it does not‚ it is not heat resistant and may break! Use labeling tape to label the test tube: “Denatured

Effect of Temperature on Enzymes ~Abstract~ In this experiment the effect of different types of temperatures on enzyme activity was examined. The temperature baths that were used to test the difference in enzyme activity on fresh liver were; 4 °C‚ room temperature which was 22°C‚ body temperature which is 37°C‚ and 77°C. The total time of each trial was 2 and a half minute‚ 1 minute for the H2O2 to acclimatize to the temperature‚ 1 and a half minutes for the reaction to occur. Catalase causes Hydrogen
