Potato Enzyme Lab Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up chemical reaction in living organisms. The purpose of this lab was to; observe the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide toxin by potato’s enzyme catalase‚ determine factors that influence how quickly the reaction takes place‚ and determine factors that influence how well enzymes function. The first test‚ we were supposed to see what would happen when we add sand in hydrogen peroxide. We filled a test tube with 5mL hydrogen peroxide and we added

As long-term valuation is assumed‚ risk free rate is set as 30-year treasury rate‚ 5.73%. Cost of debt is 6.72% reflecting Amoco’s credit level. Cost of equity is calculated as 10.63%‚ leading to final WACC at 8.85% (Chart 1). In DCF valuation (Chart 2)‚ long-term growth rate is assumed to be 4%. Change in working capital is calculated as the average of 1997 and 1996 figure and is assumed to be constant for simplicity. Terminal value is valued at $69‚398.1 million and NPV is $51‚525 million.

MISEP Chemistry 512 – Jacobs Enzyme Catalyst Lab - Formal Report – August 8‚ 2007 ABSTRACT This investigation examined what would happen to the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction if the concentration of substrate changed. We hypothesized that if the concentration increased‚ then the reaction rate would also increase. To test our question‚ we varied a combination of substrate and buffer‚ totaling 6mL‚ with a constant amount of 2 drops of catalyst. The enzyme catalyst‚ peroxidase‚ increased

Chirag Patel Biology 157 Determining the Effect of Varying Substrate Concentration Question: How does concentration of potatoes affect the amount of oxygen produced with hydrogen peroxide and potatoes (enzymes)? Introduction The enzyme used for this experiment is Catalase. Catalase is inside mostly any living organism which uses oxygen. Its job is to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ into oxygen and water. (Formula) 2H2O2 ---> 2H2O + O2 (lab manual). There are limiting factors which if altered

My lab group studied the effect of PH on reaction rate/ enzyme activity measured by foam height. PH is the measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The higher the hydrogen ion concentration‚ the lower the pH. Every enzyme has an optimal PH‚ meaning they have a very small window in which they are most active. Our enzyme (potato smoothie) had an optimal PH of 7.0-7.5. We know this because we measured the enzyme’s reaction rate by measuring foam height. The largest foam height we

Appex Corporation Under the leadership of Shikhar Ghosh‚ Appex Corporation has undergone several significant structural changes in order to cater to its rapid growth in the past three years. Each of these structural changes just generally improved the operating performance of Appex Corporation for a short period of time‚ ultimately each different structure has generated a new set of barriers and problems that constrained the innovation‚ performance and growth of the company.
