substrate molecule‚ and during the reaction‚ the substrate is broken down to products which are then released. Varying the enzyme concentration‚ as well as varying the amount of substrate‚ can change the rate of the reaction. A greater number of enzyme molecules mean more active sites‚ which will speed up the reaction as they bind with substrate molecules. As the substrate increases‚ the same can be said‚ up to a certain concentration known as the saturation point. According to these enzyme processes

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe the colours produced when the solutions of metal ions are heated to high temperatures‚ then to explain the results in terms of the energy levels of the metal ions. Lastly‚ to use the flame colours to identify a series of unknowns. Hypothesis: Substance being tested Predicted flame colour NaCl(s) Yellow NaCl Red-Orange NaNO3 Dark Orange LiNO3 Red Sr(NO3)2 Dark Red KNO3 Blue-Indigo Ba(NO3)2 Yellow-Green Cu(NO3)2 Green Ca(NO3)2

The lab required pressing two toothpicks against the skin simultaneously. It was difficult to press down both toothpicks at the same time and this skewed the results. When the toothpicks weren’t pressed down at the same time‚ it felt like one point‚ then another

Biology Laboratory Report MEASURING RATE OF WATER UPTAKE BY A PLANT SHOOT USING A POTOMETER Introduction All plants need salts minerals‚ water‚ CO2 and O2. To fulfill their requirements different plants use different ways. Lower plants use diffusion‚ however higher plants use vascular tissue that is located in the middle of the root and in the vascular bundles in the stem. The transpiration is the important process in the plant. The main reason is that transportation

In this experiment we determined the Ka using two different methods: 1) the measurement of the pH of a solution containing a known concentration of a weak acid‚ and 2) measurement of the pH at the half-neutralization point in the titration of a weak acid and a strong base. Theory and Concept: When titrating a weak acid‚ HA‚ with a strong base the equilibrium between the weak acid and

Enzymes are catalysts that are used to speed up chemical reactions. Adding inorganic catalysts to reactants increase the rate of most chemical reactions. However‚ all enzymes are different and there are numerous amounts. Many enzymes are essential for life and reactions would not happen rapidly to maintain life with the help of enzymes. Specific enzymes lower the activation energy for specific reactions and shapes. Activation energy is required to start a chemical reaction. This occurs when energy

Sterling Hayden AP Biology Mrs. Proehl 24 November 2014 I. Title Effect of Differing pH‚ Temperature‚ and Enzyme Concentration on Catalase Reaction Rate II. Introduction Enzymes are used to increase the rate of specific reactions in the body. Catalase‚ a specific enzyme‚ speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide‚ a toxic chemical produced by cells in the body‚ into water and oxygen (Cain and others‚ 2010). The oxygen can be observed as bubbles coming from the reaction site. Catalase is found in many living tissues of organisms

Reaction mechanism for the preparation of Grignard reagent and the Grignard synthesis of triphenylmethanol Infrared (IR) spectroscopy‚ which measures the vibrations of atoms interacting with infrared light‚ can be used to determine the functional groups present in a molecule. We measured the melting range and used the IR analysis to determine the identity of the product. Methods
