Enzymes Enzymes are… * Biological catalysts Lower the energy level needed for a biochemical reaction to occur. This energy level is called activation energy. * Proteins Polypeptide chains made up of 100’s-1000’s of amino acids in a specific sequence. * Do not get “used up” in a reaction The number of “uses” of an enzyme depends on the enzyme. * Work more efficiently at certain optimum temperatures. * They are “reaction-specific”. Each enzyme is included in one reaction.

with non-ferrous metals that has low melting temperature and long cooling time. As for the material used which consisted of a silicone mold making rubber and a special chemical composition (catalyst) with a usage ratio of 10 to 1. The calculate amount used for the silicone rubber was 918 g and 92 g for the catalyst. The silicone mold making rubber was used because it has unique advantages that include easy use‚ quick setting‚ does not need vacuuming and especially applicable to one and two piece molds

dependent on temperature‚ but this effect is cancelled by the temperature dependence of the reaction rate coefficient. A substance that modifies the transition state to lower the activation energy is termed a catalyst. A biological catalyst is an enzyme. It is important to note that a catalyst increases the rate of reaction‚ but isn’t consumed by it nor does it change the energies of the neither original reactants nor products. Instead‚ the reactant energy and the product energy remain the same while

_____________________________________________________________________ Investigating Factors that Affect the Rate of Enzyme Activity See Textbook Pg 61. Enzymes are very large complex organic molecules that are synthesized by the cell to perform specific functions. These biological catalysts are important because they speed up the rate of the reaction that would otherwise be too slow to support life. Catalase is an enzyme present in the cells of plants‚ animals and aerobic (O2 requiring) bacteria. It promotes the conversion of hydrogen

between social classes. limited liberties and representation‚ and a large gap between the rich and the poor serving as the main catalysts. The causes for the French and Haitian revolutions were fairly uniform. An unfair distribution of power between social classes‚ restricted liberties and representation‚ and a large gap between the rich and the poor were the main catalysts for both revolutions. Significant overall economic differences were present between Haiti and France before the revolutions

Blanca Hernandez What Caused the Salem Witch Trial Hysteria? “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” (Exodus 22:18); a phrase that the early Puritans took all too seriously in the Salem Witch trials of the 1600’s. The event that led a historical witch hunt and caused the death of many victims would forever leave its print on America. It all began when a group of young girls accused a fortune teller of oppressing them. This would start a snowball effect that would eventually lead to dozens more

Amylase is a very important enzyme located in the saliva and pancreatic juices that hydrolyses (break down) starch and glycogen into more simple and readily digestible forms of sugar. Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of biological reactions. Enzymes are produced in living cells and are involved in speeding up biochemical reactions. They have an active site to which specific substrate binds. They increase the rate of reactions by decreasing the amount of activation energy meaning
