Writing ionic equations for redox reactions You can split the ionic equation into two parts‚ and look at it from the point of view of the magnesium and of the copper(II) ions separately. This shows clearly that the magnesium has lost two electrons‚ and the copper(II) ions have gained them. These two equations are described as "electron-half-equations" or "half-equations" or "ionic-half-equations" or "half-reactions" - lots of variations all meaning exactly the same thing! Any redox reaction

extracted catalase from potatoes by peeling‚ cutting‚ and blending them. The extract was then used for make solutions of different concentrations or percentage. After coffee filters were soaked in the solutions‚ they were put into the substrate‚ hydrogen peroxide‚ and timed for how long they took to rise. This would be the reaction rate. As Kartinen expected‚ the concentration of 100% was fastest‚ 90% second-fastest‚ and so on. This happened due to the pH of the solution and how it affected the reaction

How Enzymes Work In Different Environments By Sarah Smith Biology1111 October 20‚ 2011 Lab Partner: Nellie Greer ABSTRACT Peroxidase is an enzyme found in potatoes that catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide‚ H2O2‚ into O2 gas and water. We examined the different pH environments that can affect the enzyme activity during the breakdown of H2O2. In order to do this‚ we added different levels of pH‚ low‚ medium‚ and high‚ into different test tubes with the enzyme and H2O2‚

Reetika Kashyap September 20th‚ 2012 Enzyme Lab What is an enzyme? Enzymes are specialized protein molecules simplifying most of the body’s metabolic processes such as‚ supplying energy‚ digesting foods‚ purifying your blood‚ executing the body of waste products etc. Enzymes act as catalyst by speeding up the reactions that happen in our bodies and decreasing the amount of activation energy needed to break a complex down. A reactant is any given enzymatic reaction is called a substrate for that

catalase takes for it to break down peroxide. The problem that i was investigating is how does temperature affect the time it takes for catalase to break down peroxide. My independent variable for this lab was the temperature of the solution the enzyme is in. My dependent variable in this experiment was rate of reaction or the amount of time it takes to sink and rise. My hypothesis is that if the temperature is higher than 37℃‚ then it will break down the peroxide faster because yeast tends to rise

CELL ANATOMY Microbodies Brief History Microbodies were first discovered and named in 1954 by Rhodin. De Duve chose the name of Peroxisome because of its relationship with hydrogen peroxide. In 1967‚ Breidenbach and Beevers were the first to isolate microbodies from plants‚ which they named Glyoxysomes because they were found to contain enzymes of the Glyoxylate cycle.

Once nine milliliters was reached timing stopped. The reaction flask was cleaned after every run.
