The purpose of this experiment is to study how enzyme activity is affected by environmental conditions. Researchers tested the level of potato extract enzyme activity with 1-11 pH‚ varying temperature‚ catechol solution‚ hydroquinone solution‚ and different measurements of catechol. In Figure 1A and 1B‚ pH levels were tested with potato extract to see how pH would affect the amount of Benzoquinone is formed in the potato. Although it was hypothesized that enzymes would form Benzoquinone better in

recalibrating it. The additional 4 experimental test tubes were composed of the same contents but 1 mL of the substrate catechol was added instead of the 1 mL of water (Table 2). These test tubes were labeled the same as the previous blanks. The spectrophotometer wavelength was set to 420 nm just like exercise A. After the spectrophotometer was adjusted using the blank A‚ the catechol was added to tube A. The tube was covered with paraffin and the absorption was measured within 5 seconds. The absorbance

So we won’t confuse ourselves‚ we used the wax pencil to label each test tube as we placed the required amount of substance in each of them. To avoid any slight errors‚ we also used three different pipets for the three required materials‚ which are the distilled water‚ catechol and the extract

The Effects that 1%‚ 4%‚ and 16% Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Concentration Had on the Rate of Reaction of Catecholase Enzymes in a Potato (Solanum tuberosum). Abstract Enzymes are a key component of a cell. They make chemical reactions happen faster because they lower the activation energy to make the chemical reaction occur. Most of the time‚ it is best if enzymes produce as efficiently as possible‚ but in some cases it is better if they do not‚ when dealing with potatoes (Solanum tuberosum).

concentration of the enzyme. Enzymes are sensitive to changes in pH and temperature. These factors affect the speed of the reactions‚ as does enzyme concentration. The enzyme catecholase and the compound catechol are found in the cells of many fruits and vegetables. The enzyme catecholase and substrate catechol separate from each other in intact cells. However‚ whenever the cell is damaged‚ they come in contact with one another which produces the formation of benzoquinone‚ which is a brown substance. Benzoquinone

During this experiment‚ the temperature of tubes 5 and 6 showed that the color changed throughout the 20 minute time period. The catechol oxidase has to be at a certain temperature for it to react well. But based on our data when we put it at room temperature the reaction takes longer. If the temperature is too cold then all it does is slow the reaction as well‚ but when it is exposed

With metabolism dopamine breaks down to 3‚4 DOPAC by monoamine oxidase or dopamine is broken down to 3-MT by catechol 0-methyltransferase.
