Abstract: This experimentation was to evaluate absorbance and the reaction rate of an enzyme‚ ’-amylase in starch-iodine solution. We will be testing the relationship between enzymatic reaction affected by temperature and pH. Through the testing the enzyme at different temperatures‚ and different pH levels; it would determine at which temperature and pH level the enzyme worked the most efficiently. Analyzing absorbance of the solutions with spectrophotometery will determine the reaction rate. To

The effect of time on enzyme reaction. Abstract: In this lab investigation we will observe how the amount of hydrogen peroxide is affected by catalase over time. The enzyme was added to 10 mL’s of hydrogen peroxide and observed over time to determine the relation between time and enzyme activity. The hypothesis stated that as time increased substrate would decrease. Therefore I predicted that at 60 seconds‚ there would be the least amount of H2O2. The enzyme activity mirrored my predictions

Investigate Concentration of Substrate on Catalase enzyme 1. Aim/Prediction. Aim of this experiment is to investigate concentration of substrate on catalase enzyme‚ as well to see how they work in different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Prediction would be‚ that the filter paper discs that were used‚ will rise up to the surface in a time in the tube of different concentration of hydrogen peroxide. And in different concentrations the time will be different. As higher the concentration

A journey of a sausage roll through the digestive system A sausage roll is made up of puff pastry and sausage meat. The pastry is made up of carbohydrates‚ fat and a very small amount of protein‚ the sausage meat is made up of fat‚ and a small amount of carbohydrates and protein. Caloriecount (2015) Donaldrussell (2015) Mouth/Teeth Anatomyeshs (2015) I am a sausage roll even before you eat me‚ when you smell me‚ see me‚ or think about me‚ digestion begins. Saliva begins to form in your mouth.

The monogastric digestive tract is quite similar to the ruminant digestive tract‚ in the way they have many of the same parts and they process the food similarly. The mouth‚ oesophagus‚ liver‚ pancreas‚ gall bladder‚ small intestine‚ and large intestine in a ruminant species have similar functions to monogastric species. Both the digestive tracts start with the mouth‚ and although they are formed differently in order to eat the different diets‚ both the mouths are used to grab‚ chew and push the

Introduction Enzymes are proteins that are involved in all the chemical processes in living things. As they are made of proteins they are affected by pH and temperature. Enzymes are catalysts; they speed up chemical reactions without being changed themselves. Digestive enzymes speed up the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller ones so that the blood can absorb them. Enzymes turn a large starch molecule into thousands of tiny glucose molecules. Enzymes end in ’ase’. There are thousands of

BIOLOGY IA A Factor That Will Affect Enzyme Activity The Question Effects on Enzyme activity: investigating the effects of mixing Hydrogen Peroxide with Catalase extracted from potatoes at different temperatures‚ and then comparing the results with the same method‚ except to replace the Potato juice with MnO2 Hypothesis Since enzymes are a type of protein‚ they will be destroyed at high temperatures and activity rates will go down at low temperatures. Also‚ if done at low temperature

Title: Catalase enzyme detection Objective: To understand the function of catalase in cells that produce the enzyme‚ interpret the results of a catalase test and know their value in differentiating bacteria. Materials: 1 clean microscopic slide‚ 3% H2O2 solution‚ swabs. Micrococcus luteus‚ Enterococcus faecalis‚ patient G Procedure: 1) Scrape some cells off from each bateria to the slant and place them on glass slide. 2) Place one or two drops of H2O2. Watch for bubbling as an indication of

Potato Enzyme Lab Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up chemical reaction in living organisms. The purpose of this lab was to; observe the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide toxin by potato’s enzyme catalase‚ determine factors that influence how quickly the reaction takes place‚ and determine factors that influence how well enzymes function. The first test‚ we were supposed to see what would happen when we add sand in hydrogen peroxide. We filled a test tube with 5mL hydrogen peroxide and we added

ENZYME STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS: Enzymes are biological catalysts. They increase the rate of reactions by a factor of between 106 to 1012 times‚ allowing the chemical reactions that make life possible to take place at normal temperatures Definition of enzyme: A protein with catalytic properties due to its power of specific activation is defined as an enzyme. STRUCTURE Enzymes are proteins their function depends on its complexity. The reaction takes place in a small part of the enzyme
