in order to grow and reproduce. How do enzymes work - in steps 1) Substrate floats near enzyme 2) Substrate and enzyme connect – which breaks it into products 3) Products are released ex) BreadFast & Co.’s use of enzymes The company uses many different types of enzymes in the bread making process such as malt and fungal alpha-amylase. Amylase is used to break down starch and produce small dextrins for the yeast to act - which is needed to make bread rise. (Hayes and Laudan‚ 2009)

Abstract Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value— the point where the enzyme is most active—is known as the optimum pH. This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of pH reaction rate on an enzyme‚ catalase‚ from yeast. The experimental results indicate that the catalase worked best at a neutral pH level of seven (7). Introduction An enzyme is a protein molecule that serves as a catalyst. “The basic function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a reaction;

Concentration 2. What were the independent and dependent variables in this experiment? Independent variable The independent variable is the equal amount of hydrogen peroxide . Dependent variable The inflation of the balloon being measured by various yeast concentrates. 3. Name three variables that you controlled between conditions in this experiment. 1. The same amount of time was given to each reaction. 2. A balloon was used to measure all three experiments. 3. All three were given the same amount

acid a. Differentiation is made on the basis of differences in carbohydrate fermentation patterns and hydrogen sulfide production. To facilitate observation of carbohydrate utilization patterns- TSI agar slants contain lactose and sucrose (1%) concentrations and glucose (0.1%) concentration which permits detection of the utilization of this substrate only. The acid base indicator phenol red- also incorporated to detect carbohydrate fermentation that is indicated by a change in color of the medium

The experimental results indicate an increase in temperature will increase reaction rates until proteins denature. Introduction Enzymes combine with reactant molecules (substrate) and bind them closely to one another. The three-dimensional shape of the enzyme molecule must be complementary to the shape of the substrate. Catalysts are not used up in the reaction‚ and do not furnish energy for the reaction. The reaction can proceed rapidly without much activation energy. Most of these reactions

In yeast fermentation produces ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide from glucose and fructose. Fermentation in bacteria cells the process of fermentation produces ethanol‚ while in human muscle cells fermentation produces lactic acid in cells that have a short

Wine is of great importance in our society today‚ and has been so for thousands of years. Grapes have been cultivated for wine production in the Near East since 4000BC‚ and in Egypt since 2500BC. They were spread from the Black Sea to Spain by the Greek Empire‚into Germany by the Romans and to the New World by Columbus. Wine has had religious significance as both an offering and a sacrament since Biblical times‚ and this has helped its development. Today an enormous variety of wines are available
