Effect of the Changes in the Environment to the Functionality of the Enzymes Introduction a. Background In our everyday lives‚ enzymes are used in our bodies‚ and in nature around us‚ to speed up the chemical reactions happening constantly‚ which happens by lowering the amount of activation energy needed to start various reactions. The way this works is by attaching the particular substrate to the active site of the enzyme‚ where it will start to aid the chemical reaction. Then‚ the allosteric

Lab Report: Enzyme Lab Your Name: Samantha Butcher Purpose of this Lab What is the goal of this lab? What question is it trying to answer‚ or what problem is it trying to explain? It is going to explain how a liver’s enzymes break down substances that could be harmful.| Hypothesis After reading the lab instructions - but before starting the lab - record your best “educated guess” about what will happen in the experiment. Give your reasons and outline any assumptions that lead

of the lab is to see the effects of enzyme concentration on the reaction rate. Part 2: Effect of Substrate Concentration Purpose: The purpose of this part of the lab was to find the effect of substrate concentration on enzyme activity. Part 3: Effect of Temprature Purpose: The purpose of this part of the lab was to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of enzyme activity

Enzyme Activity Lab Hypothesis: 1] Are enzymes reusable? Yes‚ enzymes are reusable. 2] Which of the following do you think contain catalase? [Manganese dioxide‚ chicken meat‚ apple‚ carrot‚ potato‚ or chicken liver] I think that the manganese dioxide‚ apple‚ and carrot contain the catalase. 3] Would grinding the materials affect enzyme activity? I think that grinding the materials will increase enzyme activity. 4] Would temperature affect enzyme activity? I think that

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

MISEP Chemistry 512 – Jacobs Enzyme Catalyst Lab - Formal Report – August 8‚ 2007 ABSTRACT This investigation examined what would happen to the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction if the concentration of substrate changed. We hypothesized that if the concentration increased‚ then the reaction rate would also increase. To test our question‚ we varied a combination of substrate and buffer‚ totaling 6mL‚ with a constant amount of 2 drops of catalyst. The enzyme catalyst‚ peroxidase‚ increased

Enzyme Lab Marcus James. December 20‚ 2013 HL Biology 3 Period 1 Purpose and Background The purpose of this lab is to explain how enzymes act as catalysts for biological reactions in different temperatures. This lab relates to enzymes‚ proteins‚ and substrates; that we learned in class. The union of the enzyme and the substrate is called the enzyme-substrate complex. The make-up of an enzyme is proteins and made up of chains and amino acids. Enzymes

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 specific enzyme. The place

Enzymes play a vital role in helping our body function. They act as biological catalysts and help speed up reactions that would otherwise take long periods of time to naturally occur. Enzymes help lower the activation energy required for the reactants to reach the transitional state from which then they can form products. However‚ enzymes do not change the free energy of the reaction. Enzyme’s ability to catalyze reactions comes from the shape of the active site on the enzyme. Enzymes are hyper-specific

A hypothesis is often not necessary or appropriate. Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in cells. They break down molecules called substrates. Each enzyme has only one substrate that it breaks down. Enzymes are produced in
