ribosomes in a cell. They act as catalysts during biological reactions; therefore‚ enzymes are able to speed up these reactions without undergoing a permanent change themselves. These proteins are able to do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. To add on‚ enzymes require specific conditions under which they can work best. Reactions occur at faster rates when the temperature is higher. However‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is reduced or can be stopped if the temperature becomes

The effect on rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction by different objectives which include effect of substrate‚ temperature‚ ph and effect of a competitive inhibitor phosphate ions. This is determined by the reaction of hydrolysis by p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNP) as a substrate by the enzyme phosphatase. Abstract The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate has been studied in human red blood cells. To see if hydrolysis was related to the functioning of the sodium pump. Acid phosphatase catalysis’s

produced the most oxygen of all three trials. Heat tends to increase the rate of chemical reactions‚ explained in the article Temperature Effects (Introduction to Enzymes) by Chris Jamison. “Like most chemical reactions‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases as the temperature is raised. A ten degree rise in temperature will increase the activity of most enzymes by 50 to 100% . Variations in reaction temperature as small as 1 or 2 degrees

Most of life’s biological processes involve the use of protein catalyst called enzymes‚ that help speed up chemical reactions within the body without being denatured in the processes. Enzymes can be used continually by temporary binding to a specific substrate in the active site to convert the substrate into a product that the cell needs to perform a specific function. Without the use of catalyst enzymes‚ homeostasis wouldn’t be able to occur quickly enough which can result in many bodily functions

Extended Experimental Investigation Cold Pack Year 12 Chemistry Abstract: Cold packs are based on the principle of endothermic reactions‚ which means a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding resulting in a temperature drop. Due to this temperature drop‚ cold packs have many benefits when it comes to injuries such as sprains and strains. It cools the local tissue and reduces bleeding‚ swelling and pain. It also aids in a speedy recovery. The most commonly used

Hypothesis: If I increase the concentration of NaOH from 0.5M to 1M‚ then I will see the temperature slope increase in the reaction with an increased concentration because with an increase of moles‚ the particles will be colliding more often‚ therefore increasing the probability that the proper energy and alignment will occur to create more collisions in the same amount of time. Methods: List of Materials: • 110 mL of NaOH at 1 M (10 mL per run) • 110 mL of NaOH at 0.5 M (10 mL per run) • 220 mL

Interpretation of Data When looking at my results i can safely say that the change in HCl concentration does affect the rate of reaction with the Calcium carbonate pebbles. The relationship between the change in HCl and reaction rate can be seen in the graph and raw data table presented above. If you compare the lowest concentration with the highest concentration you’d be able to see that there is a very large contrast between their averages. The average gas production of 0.1M HCl was 0.00693 kPa/s

Experiment 7: A Study of Chemical Changes: Types of Chemical Reaction INTRODUCTION Chemical changes are results of chemical reactions. All chemical reactions involve a change in substance and a change in energy. They are either chemical elements or compounds. A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products. There are different types of chemical reaction classified into 4 general types‚ namely‚ Synthesis‚ Decomposition

Concentration of a Reactant Can Affect the Rate of Reaction Aim To plan an investigation that allows me to measure the effect of increasing the concentration of a reactant on the rate of reaction. With the results generated‚ it is also hoped to draw accurate conclusions and explain the results using scientific knowledge. Introduction Some reactions are fast‚ for example neutralisation or burning magnesium in air to produce magnesium oxide. However‚ other reactions can be slow‚ for example‚ rusting of iron

Abstract The experiment is to identify the guilty suspect that is present at the crime scene by comparing with the DNA samples. Polymerase Chain Reaction(PCR) is used to amplify the small amount of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) for forensic or genetic studies‚ which require necessary product and placed in the thermal cycle. Gel electrophoresis is being run in order to analyze and compare the DNA samples at the crime scene with the guilty suspects. Gel electrophoresis is used to separate DNA using
