This happens because enzymes are catalysts‚ so they speed up the activation rates that occur in living organisms. Without enzymes‚ it would be difficult to break down particles like food in the digestion system. Enzymes are all very specific to what chemical reactions they will work with‚ and the temperature‚ pH‚ and salt concentration have to be a specific levels in order for the enzyme to function. The structure of each enzyme has a fixed shape in which a certain the substrate will fit into. The sequence

Lab 1: Effect of pH on sodium benzoate‚ a food preservative Sheikh M Zakaria Person no. 36295651 TA: Synthia Gratia Date of Submission: 05/29/13 Abstract Sodium Benzoate is a common food preservative used in food products such as jams and jellies‚ soft drinks‚ pickles‚ condiments etc and in tinned products in the market. This experiment aimed to determine whether benzoic acid is formed from it’s superior soluble form sodium benzoate in stomach acid‚ which is simulated by HCl (pH=2). It has been

In the novel Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson‚ there are three main sections‚ Solid‚ Liquid‚ and Gas. The main character‚ Kate‚ is very interested in science and the three titles are a metaphor for her state of mind throughout the book. The first section‚ Solid‚ shows how Kate is a stable and strong person. The next section‚ Liquid‚ is a time where Kate’s life is very inconsistent and she is unsure about herself. The last section‚ Gas‚ shows how Kate has accepted her fate and tries to help everyone

The print “A Voluptuary Under the Horrors of Digestion” by James Gillray portrays Prince George overindulging himself. The photograph “Man shooting up leg” taken by Larry Clark portrays a man shooting up a drug through his leg. Elements within both of these works create a greater theme of addiction. Gillray’s depiction of Prince George sitting tranquilly in a regal chair‚ wearing a blackened shoulder to knee jacket that is on top of a whitened body suit metaphorically being inflated like a balloon

How does temperature affect the rate of reaction for Lipase? As the temperature increases‚ so will the rate of enzyme reaction. However‚ as the temperature exceeds the optimum the rate of reaction will decrease. I predict that at temperatures above 70°C the enzyme lipase will become denatured and at temperatures below 10°C the enzyme will become inactive. Since lipase operates within the human body I’d also predict that its optimum temperature would be around human body temperature which is approximately

activity of the enzyme catecholase in different pH levels as well as its absorbance in differently concentrated solutions. A spetrophotometer was used to measure the absorbance of the enzyme catecholase in different pH solutions as well as to measure the absorbance of catecholase in solutions with different concentrations of potato juice and phosphate buffers. Absorbance of the enzyme catecholase was at an optimum level when pH was close to neutral. When pH was acidic or basic‚ the catecholase was less

Billy Kong Chem&163 Lab Report 1 Analysis of Acids‚ Bases‚ pH and Salt Purpose: Explore various methods for determining the characteristics of acid/base solution. The goal of this experiment include the investigation of various acid/base indicators‚ calculating the change of pH with concentration‚ change of pH due to the addition of salt and different between strong and weak acids/bases. Safety and Disposal: Use extreme caution when handling concentrated acids and bases. Dispose of all

It may be frustrating when a tired person gets into bed and remembers he had forgotten to switch the bed light off. The project ‘automatic night lamp with morning alarm’ helps avoid this problem by switching on an LED itself when it detects darkness in the room. The LED serves as a bed lamp or a reading lamp

Background An indicator is a halochromic chemical compound that is added to a solution to determine its pH. It is a chemical detector for hydronium ions. The indicator changes colour to show the pH of the solution. Some indicates are not very precise and only tell us whether the solution is acidic or basic. When the indicator is added to the solution‚ they bind to hydrogen or hydroxide ions. The different electron configurations of the bound indicator cause the indicator ’s colour to change.
