Enzymes are catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions organisms‚ allowing cells to break or build things instantly. The structure of an enzyme is essential to its function. Enzymes are proteins‚ made up of 100-1000 amino acids bonded together in chains. These chains are folded/coiled into a unique 3-D structure that allows them to bind to a reactant‚ called a substrate at an active site. Enzymes are flexible‚ and therefore can change it’s shape to better accommodate its substrate; this

What is Enzyme? Enzymes are protein that acts as speed up reactions and break down molecules in our body. However‚ different enzymes only work on certain types of molecules. Enzymes can accelerate the reactions by more than one million times.(3) In our human body‚ there are a total about forty thousand types of enzymes and each catalyzes different kind of molecule.(3) The molecules that enzymes help to accelerate is called substrates‚ and when enzyme is combined together with the substrate‚ it

Omar Shbeeb Toothpick Enzyme Lab 9/25/13 Introduction Enzymes are used in all metabolic reactions to control the rate of reactions and decrease the amount of energy necessary for the reaction to take place. They are responsible for the thousands of chemical interconversions that sustain life. Enzymes are referred to highly selective catalysts‚ meaning they speed up the rate of metabolic reactions. To react‚ they need to find a perfect match with a substrate. They converge at a place called an

Effect of Concentration‚ pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity Biology For Majors October 4‚ 2012 Abstract We examined the reaction an enzyme has when its concentration‚ pH and temperature are altered. In order to do this‚ we added different levels of pH into different test tubes with the enzyme (sucrose)‚ and substrate (sucrose)‚ and we then inverted the tube. The higher pH produced more enzyme activity. Temperature effects enzyme activity by decreasing its stability when the temperature

Adwoa Fosuah Bio Psych Lab Report 4 Cold Pressor Task Aim The cold pressor test is done by having the subject submerge their hands in a bucket of cold water to determine cardiovascular changes such as blood pressure and heart rate. For this experiment we wanted to know how long participant can keep their feet in the bucket of ice water before they experience any pain while looking at neutral and positive pictures and also rate the intensity of their pain. For this reason we hypothesized that

Evolution Lab BIO/101 Pooja Thakur 7-23-12 Evolution Resulting From Natural Selection INTRODUCTION The Evolution Lab simulates environmental situations to determine effects on evolution over periods of time. This lab experiments with the evolution of finches on two different islands over 100‚ 200‚ and 300 years. By manipulating parameters that influence natural selection‚ the effects that natural selection have on the evolution process can be studied. HYPOTHESES • The size

Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)‚ a bacteria that can be found in the production of cheese‚ its stress gene was investigated in the experiment by using various biochemical and genetic techniques to identify and extract. The characterisation of the strain illustrates how identification of strains differ using different methods‚ such as gram stain and 16s rRNA screening. After the characterisation‚ the stress gene isolation assist the further understanding of the gene on LAB be giving different stress

Investigation on Effects of Different pH on Enzyme Activity How does the different pH buffers affect activity of potato enzyme/extract? Introduction: Proteins are polymers that are made up of smaller units/monomers called amino acids. There are 20 different types of amino acids‚ thus make up many different combinations in types‚ numbers of amino acids as well as their orders – an explanantion for why there are so many proteins. Every protein‚ due to various reactions of amino acids to each

What are the Effect of Different Environments and the Movement of Pill Bugs? Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to analyze pill bug’s activity in different environments and determine the effect of wet/dry or dark/light environments have on them and how taxis takes place in their choices in living in areas. Background information: Terrestrial isopods are commonly referred to as sow bugs and pill bugs and have other nick names as well. These pill bugs are also related to lobsters‚ crabs and
