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

Changes in Physical Properties on Enzyme Activity By Alex Hoffmann First Individual Lab Report Wednesday 7:30-10:15pm 10/24/12 Meghan Duell Abstract The goal of this lab was to determine the effects of certain physical properties on enzyme activity. Enzyme activity was measured by the height of the bubbles that appeared after the enzyme was added which are proportional to the rate of the reaction when time is constant. The fact that enzyme activity is affected by physical properties

Principles of Biology Lab Exercise Enzymes: Catalysts of Life Instructor: Professor Alcendor By Shahid Rana Date: March 7th‚ 2013 Abstract: In this experiment we have demonstrated the function of enzymes. The whole experiment was devoted to understand how enzymes work as a catalysts and increase the chemical reaction without being used themselves. In general‚ enzymes are proteins that function as biological catalysts. These enzymes adhere to lower to amount of energy required for

Labset Three Worksheet 1. What is a carbohydrate profile? Why are they used as a diagnostic or identifying tool? (2) Carbohydrate profiles are specific information on the type and amount of carbohydrate that a product contains. It is used to identify and differentiate two closely related species. 2. What are the carbohydrate profiles of the organisms you tested? (2) The yeast carbohydrate profile came out with glucose and fructose positive and Mannitol negative. The staph epidermidis

Research Question: How will an increase of FeSO4 concentration affect the activity of the enzyme catalase? Hypothesis: By increasing the concentration of FeSO4‚ there will be a decrease in the activity of the enzyme catalase because the Iron (ii) in the metallic ion will act as an inhibitor during the catalysis of the hydrogen peroxide into O2 and H2O. Introduction: We rely on oxygen to provide us with energy (ATP) and go through all the phases of aerobic respiration. However‚ oxygen can be

Michelle Kim 2012.1.20 Biology Iso-osmolar Concentration of Carrot Cells Lab INTRODUCTION For a more thorough understanding of this lab introduction‚ the concepts of‚ iso osmolar‚ membrane‚ equilibrium‚ and concentration gradient evaluated. Iso osmolar can be known as the point in which the substance of experimentation faces no change despite the amount of solute inside the solvent( because the solvent and solute concentration is equal. This is where the line on a graph would cross on the

Investigating the effect of pH on amylase activity Aim The aim of the experiment is to determine the effects of different pH and the rate of reaction on fungal amylase and starch. Introduction The enzyme amylase is found in the human body‚ it catalyses the hydrolosis of internal glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides‚ the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in human saliva‚ where it initiates the chemical process of digestion. Enzymes work best at an optimum pH of 7 which

Bonnie Bell Mrs. Legary Biology P.6 21‚ Sept. 2011 Milk Lab Final This investigation consists of testing the reaction between milk‚ food coloring‚ and dishwashing soap. Different kinds of milk were tested‚ depending on the amount of milk fat content. The investigation was based on 2 questions. Lab one’s problem statement‚ using only milk fat and food coloring was: How does food coloring react in different kinds of milk fat? The second lab’s problem statement‚ using milk fat‚ food
