BIO 5 Lab Report: Lactase Enzymes Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants. Enzymes consist of various types of proteins that work to drive the chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. Enzymes can either launch a reaction or speed it up. The chemicals that are transformed with the help of enzymes are called substrates. In the absence of enzymes‚ these chemicals are called reactants. Enzymes are thought to have an area with a very particular shape. When a molecule of

Stallings Period 2 January 26‚ 2013 Enzyme Catalysis Lab Report Background: Enzymes are catalyst‚ which affect the rate of a chemical reaction. One consequence includes the cell to carry out complex chemical activities at relatively low temperatures. In these reactions the substrate binds reversibly to the active site. The cause of this is a decrease in the energy needed to activate the reaction of the substrate molecule to from products. Every enzyme is particular for a reaction for the reason

AP Biology Sunday‚ October 24‚ 2010 Enzyme Lab Write-Up Purpose: To observe how an enzyme affect the speed of chemical reaction. To describe how the concentration of an enzyme affects its ability to work. Hypothesis: Depending on the concentration of the catalase which the disk is soaked in‚ it will have a direct correlation on the rate of hydrogen peroxide being broken down into oxygen gas. Prediction: Since the rate of reaction can be lowered by the addition of

Enzymes Reactions to Changes in Substrate and Inhibitors Benjamin J. Mora Coronado University of Texas Rio Grande Valley at Edinburgh Abstract Purpose for the experiments was to test the enzymes in various scenarios and see how changing this would affect the rate of reaction. The enzyme source used in the experiments was Turnip Extract. Concentrations of Turnip extract for activity 1 where o.5ml‚ 1.0ml‚ and 2.0 ml as for the rest of the activities 2 Through 4 stayed at a consistent concentration

An experiment was run to determine which enzyme (pectinase‚ and cellulase or combinations of the two enzymes) maximizes juice production and would be most cost effective. The proposed hypothesis was if the enzyme‚ pectinase‚ is added to apple juice‚ then the more juice will be extracted than if cellulase were added because pectinase holds the cell wall together and if it is separated apart from each other‚ then the more juice would be able to flow out. The experimental data show that during the ten

THE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN pH ON THE ACTIVITY OF ENZYMES Introduction: Enzymes are catalysts that speed up‚ and control chemical reactions within a cell and break down complex molecules into smaller ones. Some of the chemical reactions that take place in the body produce toxic by-products which need to be converted. The liver produces hydrogen peroxide‚ which is extremely poisonous. When the catalase comes in contact with the hydrogen peroxide‚ it is broken down into water and oxygen. Aim:

Premium Enzyme PH Blood
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

Discussion The primary purpose of this experiment was to determine the optimum temperature range for the activity of the enzyme lactase. Extreme temperatures can have a detrimental effect on enzymes; very hot temperatures can cause the denaturation in the enzyme‚ which is the loss of protein structure. This causes a change in the shape of the enzyme leading to its inability to perform its function. As previously stated‚ the alternate hypothesis read: the optimal temperature range for lactase activity
