Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Bernard Stepteau Biology Lab 101/Th 8:00am – 9:50am 2-26-2014 Dr Laynes Hypothesis: As the temperature of the enzyme catalase rises the activity of the reaction will decrease. Objectives: The objective is to compare catalase activity at different temperatures. Introduction Catalase speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. Catalase is present in every plant and animal organ. This is useful because hydrogen peroxide is harmful

sample of the agar plate and the slide was viewed under the microscope. Once‚ the microscopic visual was captured‚ a catalase test followed. Next‚ for further data‚ MSA results were recorded‚ along with antibiotic observations of demo plates. Lastly‚ with the information gathered‚ it was identified that the unknown sample was Streptococcus salivarius. Introduction: In this lab‚ the exploration of an unknown gram positive bacteria was conducted. What is known about gram positive microorganisms

potato catalase for exactly 5 seconds. It was next dried on a paper towel for 5 seconds‚ and finally placed at the bottom of the first beaker‚ which contained hydrogen peroxide solution. The timer was then started. The timer stopped when the paper disk floated up to the top of the beaker. This was performed 3 times. After this‚ two negative controls were tested. The first negative control used a denatured catalase instead of the potato extract. The

we studied enzyme catalase‚ which accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. The laboratory was also conducted in association with a second laboratory that measured the effects of an inhibitor on the enzymes. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme Concentration were the conditions tested in the experiment. Each lab was assigned to a

Title: The affects of hydrogen peroxide on catalase reactions in animal and plant cells at different temperatures and states. Introduction: All living organisms in the kingdoms of life are composed of and depend on cells to function normally. Not all cells‚ however‚ are alike. There are two primary types of cells: eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Cells contain organelles‚ or tiny cellular structures‚ that carry out specific functions necessary for normal cellular operation. (Regina Bailey Updated

This section analyzes and presents the results of the two trials conducted‚ including the trial in which Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) was denatured by a cold catalase solution and the other in which the Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) was denatured by a hot catalase solution. The experiment conducted displayed signs of experimental error as there were many situations in which the materials provided could have faulted. Theoretically speaking‚ from the inconsistent values provided for the pH levels‚ a possible

Abstract The purpose of this lab was to test if ethanol affects the reaction involving hydrogen peroxide and catalase. Tests were performed by putting chicken liver‚ ethanol solution (diluted ethanol solution for other trials) and hydrogen peroxide in a test tube with a side arm‚ and having a rubber tube lead the oxygen gas into a gas collection tube. Results from the tests showed a negative correlation‚ this means that the more diluted the solution of 95% ethanol was‚ the less oxygen gas collected
