Effect of Substrate Concentration on Initial Reaction Rate The purpose of this study is to identify the 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

Chemistry Unit 1 – Revision Questions Chemistry 1A 1) Define an element. How many are there in the Periodic Table? 2) Write a table with the charges and masses of protons‚ neutrons and electrons. 3) Define atomic number and mass number. 4) Draw electron (energy level) diagrams for Be‚ S‚ Al‚ Cl and K. Also‚ write down the number of protons and neutrons for each. Finally‚ write the symbols (with mass no. and atomic no.) 5) Why have all Group 7 elements (halogens) got similar chemical properties

temperature on the activity of lipase Aim: To investigate the effects of temperature on the activity of lipase enzyme on milk which contain fats or lipids. Introduction: Enzyme is a kind of biological catalyst that made up of protein. It can speed up the metabolic reactions on various kinds of substances. Like lipase can break down lipid into glycerol or fatty acids in milk. Since enzyme is made up of protein which easily affected by varies temperature. This experiment is carried out to find the

Effects of pH on the Function of Enzymes Rena Mototani Glen Rock High School Advanced Biology 2014-2015 Effects of pH on the Function of Catalase Rena Mototani Problem: How does the pH of a cell affect the function of the enzyme catalase? Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The

Enzymes Ashley Njeru Mrs. Booth Tuesday‚ March 19th 2013 SBI 4U INTRODUCTION: The cellular activity of all organisms is controlled through the use of enzymes. An enzyme is a special type of biological molecule‚ usually a protein‚ which speeds up a chemical reaction; most are soluble in water or a dilute salt solution. There are about 4000 different enzymes in a typical living cell. If even one of these enzymes is missing or

Effecting the Reaction Rate in Enzymes in Plants and Animals Problem- How do variables temperature and surface area affect the rate of reaction occurring in the enzyme? Information- Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. They speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells. Enzymes can be found in both liver and potato. They provide a site where reactants can be brought together to react. These reactants are called substrates that fin into the enzyme. The changing of heat‚

INTRODUCTION Enzymes are a protein serving as a catalyst‚ a chemical agent that changes the rate of the reaction without being consumed by the reaction. Enzymes are proteins made up of long chains of amino acids. These form complex shapes. The enzymes are individuals‚ like the different players on a ball team‚ they have different specific structures and jobs. As one ball player may be very tall and one short‚ the specific different shape of the active site on an enzyme is unique and prepares it

Environmental Parameters of Enzyme Activity Alex Rocha Texas State University Abstract If you’ve ever left a cut up apple out for long‚ you’ll notice that after a while‚ it will turn brown. The reason for this is an enzyme named catechol oxidase‚ a ubiquitous plant enzymes containing a dinuclear copper center (Klabunde‚ Eicken‚ Sacchettini‚ & Krebs‚ 1998). In this experiment‚ we used two different chelators‚ ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and phenylthiourea to test which would stop
