facilitating reactions that are necessary for an organism to live. Enzymes can be very specific to what environment they function best in1. Numerous environmental impacts were tested for the enzyme peroxidase which catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The basic decomposition reaction was carried out first without any environmental alterations. The hypothesis for this reaction was supported. The enzyme caused the amount of absorbance increase as time went on at a fairly constant rate (Figure 1)

enzymes speed up reduction reactions‚ in which oxygen is removed. Many other enzymes catalyse other types of reactions. Individual enzymes are named by adding ’ASE’ to the name of the substrate with which they react. The enzyme that controls urea decomposition is called urease; those that control protein hydrolyses are known as proteinases. However‚ some enzymes‚ such as the proteinases trypsin and pepsin‚ retain the names used before this nomenclature was adopted Enzymes are large proteins that speed

alteration of a substance into one or more different substances with different properties (also called chemical reaction). The four different types of chemial reations are synthesis‚ decomposition‚ single displacement‚ and double displacement. Synthesis is when atoms and/or molecules combine to form larger molecules. Decomposition is when a large molecules are split into elements or smaller molecules. Single Displacement has an element and a compound as reactants and one element replaces another element

The effect of temperature on a reaction rate In this experiment I shall be investigating how temperature affects the rate of reaction Rates of reaction The Factors that affect the rate of reaction are temperature‚ surface area‚ concentration‚ catalysts‚ light and pressure Surface area – Surface area is the amount of solid surface that is available for reaction - Only affects solids so this will not affect our

affect the distribution of hydrogen peroxide by the catalase in this organism. In this catalase and hydrogen peroxide experiment‚ we will find out how enzymes act as catalysts by causing chemical reactions to occur. Using a potato and hydrogen peroxide‚ we can observe how enzymes like catalase work to perform the breaking down‚ of other substances. We will look at enzymes and catalase and its substrate hydrogen peroxide. Catalase accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water

Methodology & Enzyme Activity Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to simply measure oxygen production rates released from decomposed hydrogen peroxide under different conditions (concentration of enzymes‚ temperature‚ and PH level). Hypothesis: Part a: If different amounts of enzyme solution are added to the hydrogen peroxide‚ then the highest amount of enzymes will have the greatest reaction rate because enzymes catalyze reactions‚ meaning more oxygen will be produced quicker

This section analyzes and presents the results of the two trials conducted‚ including the trial in which Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) was denatured by a cold catalase solution and the other in which the Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) was denatured by a hot catalase solution. The experiment conducted displayed signs of experimental error as there were many situations in which the materials provided could have faulted. Theoretically speaking‚ from the inconsistent values provided for the pH levels‚ a possible

Purpose The purpose of this catalase lab is to design simple experiments to demonstrate how various factors affect the rate of enzyme activity. This lab shows how the enzyme decomposes in hydrogen peroxide.

When liver was added to hydrogen peroxide is caused and instantaneous reaction time. This is due to the enzyme catalase. If the enzyme catalase was not present in the human body‚ hydrogen peroxide‚ which is highly toxic to cells‚ would attack the unsaturated fatty acid compounds in the membrane of lipids.2 This would cause substantial damage to the membrane structure. Since catalase utilizes hydrogen peroxide as both an electron acceptor and donor it oxidizes hydrogen peroxide isolating oxygen while
