Investigating the effect of changing substrate concentration on the activity of the enzyme catalase The aim of this experiment is to examine how the concentration of a substrate (hydrogen peroxide) affects the rate of reaction of an enzyme catalyse (found in liver cells) Research Question: how does changing the concentration of the substrate affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse? Hypothesis: As the concentration of the substrate increases‚ so does the rate of reaction until the reaction

reaction. Life would not exist without the presence of enzymes (Phillips‚ 2017). Through chemical reactions‚ this energy is created and is controlled by a catalyst‚ enzymes. Enzymes are known as proteins that are produced in living cells that speed up the metabolic processes of an organism. These catalysts speed up these reactions by decreasing the activation energy‚ how much energy is needed for a chemical reaction to happen (WBC‚ 2015). An enzyme-substrate complex forms when a substrate attaches to

relationship between substrate concentration and initial reaction rate provided that substrate concentration is much greater than enzyme concentration. Enzymes are essential to life as they are required for many vital metabolic reactions to occur. To adequately explain the properties of enzymes‚ it is assumed that an enzyme-controlled reaction takes place through an enzyme-substrate complex by the lock and key mechanism. It is hypothesized that a greater concentration of product is achieved through

Danny Fish 10/9/11 Chemical Testing To identify An Unknown The hypothesis tested was that depending on the solution presented‚ which would test positive for one of the following‚ proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ or lipids through use of chemical testing. (Sudan IV‚ Benedicts’ Solution‚ Iodine‚ Biuret’s) . In order to gain more information for the hypothesis‚ one must know how to test for said macromolecule. Each of the above stated molecules has their own individual solution that will in turn identify

Lab report April 14‚ 2013 Abstract: In this article‚ we will experiment on the significant in strength of the enzyme by using three different test tubes and measuring the amount of product they give off. To determine this we are going to test the amount of color absorbance by using a special tool to help us understand our results. We will see how our end results show the effect of the amount of concentration we apply to each test tube. The results would be shown by the support of two graphs

How to Write a Lab Report Lab reports are formal papers that describe and analyze lab experiments. They follow a very specific format. If you study this paper carefully and follow its directions‚ you will find that these papers are not at all difficult and can have a positive impact on your Biology grade. Paper formatting: The paper should be typed and double spaced. Use a standard 12 point font (do not use cute fonts or colored paper!). Except for the title and abstract – each section

I decided to do my experiment on chicken livers. It was interesting to do this experiment on chicken livers. The results were that since there is DNA I needed to stir the ingredients slowly and do the experiment as quickly as I can due to the fact that there are enzyme in the cells. I found out that liquid detergent is an active agent which the detergent destroy the cell membrane and also the protein. Abstract I chose to do my experiment on chicken livers to see what the results would

concentration. Hypotonic solution is the solution with the lower salt concentration. My hypothesis is that the potato core will increase in size. When the solution is hypertonic‚ the potato will decrease in size making the potato hypotonic. Osmosis is really interesting‚ that is why I chose to write this report about it. Materials and Methods We first cut out six cores out of a potato. We trimmed them all to the same length using a razor. After we had cut them to the same size we weighed them using

Title: Potato Osmosis Abstract: In this experiment was designed to study the effect of a concentrated solution applied to white and sweet potatoes. The solution’s impact among the potatoes were to be either hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic. The potatoes were first cut into fries with a fry cutter‚ and then weighed after being cut. The white and sweet potatoes’ weights ranged from .005-.015 grams. A total of 18 sugar solutions are to be made over the course of 3 trials. In each trial‚ 6 different
