    An Investigation on the rate of reaction of the enzyme Catalase on the substrate Hydrogen peroxide. Plan Aim: To investigate the rate of the effect of Catalase on hydrogen peroxide. Introduction This investigation will be carried out to investigate the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase on the substrate hydrogen peroxide. Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which speed up the rate of reaction without being used up during the reaction‚ which take place in living organisms. They do this by

    Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ large protein proteins that have a very specific three-dimensional shape which makes them highly specific and only work on one or a few similar chemical reactions. Enzymes themselves are not consumed in the reaction‚ but they help attract substrates into correct position to undergo chemical reaction. Enzymes greatly speed up the rate of biological reactions by lowering the energy of activation. To get a sense of the speed and efficiency of enzymes‚ substrates can

Keep this growing tip and discard the rest. 6. Break up the root tip with the mounted needle (this is called maceration). Add one small drop of toluidine blue and leave to stain for 2 minutes 7. Cover with the cover slip and blot firmly with several layers of filter/ tissue paper and press gently to spread

    Abstract Enzymes are catalysts to ensure homeostasis in the body [2]. Homeostasis is the tendency to maintain the internal environment [2]. Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent that can be decomposed by catalase [11]‚ the liver is able to decompose hydrogen peroxide enzymatically because it contains catalase [12]. The reaction rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction under the effect of changes in temperature was tested in this experiment. It was hypothesised that the fastest reaction rate would

    Biology Enzyme Catalase Investigation Aim: The aim of this investigation is to study and observe whether or not the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (varying from 10 – 30 millilitres) affects the rate of reaction. Hypothesis: With the increase of the concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide 3% substrate‚ I prediction that the rate of pressure increase will begin to amplify. The pressure is bound to increase because the catalase quickly reacts with the hydrogen peroxide; this is why the more substrate

    Enzyme Lab Introduction/ Abstract An enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. They are mainly made up of proteins and can tremendously speed up reactions. E. coli ( a bacterium) has about 1‚000 different types of enzymes floating around in its cytoplasm at any given time. Enzymes can be used to join and even break up molecules as shown in the diagram below. (1)

    temperature on reactions between the enzyme catalase found in animal tissue with the substrate H2O2. The hypothesis stated that an increase in the temperature of the substrate would create a subsequent increase in the rate of reaction between the enzyme and the substrate. This hypothesis was tested by immersing 1cm cubes of animal tissue (sheep liver) which contained the enzyme catalase into the substrate (H2O2 ) mixed with detergent which foamed showing a visual display of the reaction. After 10 seconds

    Reaction of catalase with hydrogen peroxide AIM: I aim to find the rate of reaction between catalase and hydrogen peroxide. Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules that are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. Each enzyme just performs one particular reaction so they are all very specific. Catalase enzymes found in living cells e.g. in yeast‚ potato or liver‚ speed up (in our case) the breaking down of hydrogen peroxide. The lock and key analogy…

    The effect of time on enzyme reaction. Abstract: In this lab investigation we will observe how the amount of hydrogen peroxide is affected by catalase over time. The enzyme was added to 10 mL’s of hydrogen peroxide and observed over time to determine the relation between time and enzyme activity. The hypothesis stated that as time increased substrate would decrease. Therefore I predicted that at 60 seconds‚ there would be the least amount of H2O2. The enzyme activity mirrored my predictions
