Lab 6.C Hypothesis: If enzyme activity is affected by the pH of a solution‚ then the enzymes will experience the greatest activity at a pH of 6. Variables: Independent Variables Dependent Variable Controls Four different pH values (10‚ 7‚ 6‚ and 3) Change in color of the solution The amount of potato extract‚ pH solution‚ and catechol used (1 cm +/- .1cm) Size of the test tubes Amount of time allowed for the catechol to sit with the potato extract and pH solution (20 minutes with 5

Disorders of the Digestive System Hyperacidity Excessive secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach is hyperacidity‚ which is technically known as hyperchlorohydria. It causes heart burn (Severe pain and burning sensation in the epigastric region due to hyperacidity is called heartburn) . Hyperacidity leads to ulcers. causes 1. Medicines like aspirin 2. Drinks like alcohol 1. Beverages like coffee 1. Cigarette smoking and tobacco chewing 1. Foods containing excess

I. Preparation A. Choosing 1. You should choose the fruits that you like. a. For example‚ if you desire to gain more different fruits enzymes or make the glass bottle more colorful‚ you can choose four or even more kind of fruits. There is no limitation. But‚ you must include one fruit‚ lemon. It helps to kill the bacteria of the drink. B. Composing 1. The ratio of components should be 3‚ 1. It means 3 parts of fruits‚ 1 part of sugar. You can follow this ratio to determine the amount of fruit

Enzyme Catalysis Abstract: Catalysis is an enzyme that decomposes hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. In this lab we will conduct a series of experiments to determine the affects of; pH‚ temperature‚ and concentration change on such catalysis. After completing the experiments we determined that catalase works most efficiently when in a 27°c‚ 50% (5 ml of catalase – 5ml of water)‚ and a normal body pH of 7°.

Enzymes are naturally occurring biological catalysts that are extremely efficient and specific. Enzymes accelerate the rate of a reaction by factors of at least a million as compared to the same reaction without the enzyme. Most biological reaction rates are not perceivable in the absence of the enzyme. The term enzyme was first used by a German pshysiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1897. There are over 700 different kinds of enzymes that have been identified. Enzymes can be classified into several categories

Enzyme Immobilization Methods Covalent Binding: Covalent binding is a conventional method for immobilization; it can be achieved by direct attachment with the enzyme and the material through the covalent linkage [37]. The covalent linkage is strong and stable and the support material of enzymes includes polyacrylamide‚ porous glass‚ agarose and porous silica [38]. Covalent method of immobilization is mainly used when a reaction process does not require enzyme in the product‚ this is the criteria

Computer Enzyme Action: Testing Catalase Activity 6A H2O2 is toxic to most living organisms. Many organisms are capable of enzymatically destroying the H2O2 before it can do much damage. H2O2 can be converted to oxygen and water‚ as follows: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 Although this reaction occurs spontaneously‚ enzymes increase the rate considerably. At least two different enzymes are known to catalyze this reaction: catalase‚ found in animals and protists‚ and peroxidase‚ found in plants. A great

Enzymes control the rate of metabolic reactions‚ they act as biological catalysts‚ which means they are used but not used up and they also control the speed of the reaction. Enzymes are proteins which means that anything that disrupts this structure such as high temperature or change in pH will affect the enzyme activity. There are many factors affecting enzyme action for example temperature effects them‚ if the Increasing the heat gives molecules more kinetic energy so they vibrate this can then
