Effects of Temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity INTRODUCTION Enzymes‚ proteins that act as catalysts‚ are the most important type of protein[1]. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions and can go without being used up or changed [3] Without enzymes‚ the biochemical reactions that take place will react too slowly to keep up with the metabolic needs and the life functions of organisms. Catecholase is a reaction between oxygen and catechol

BOILING AND CONDENSATION BOILING • Phase change phenomenon where in transformation of liquid to vapour occurs at the saturation temperature of the fluid. It occurs at a solid/liquid interface due to convection heat transfer from the solid and usually occurs at surface temperatures higher than the saturation temperature of the fluid Agitation of fluid by vapor bubbles provides large convection coefficients Modified Newton’s law of cooling qs’’ h Ts Tsat Te • • • BOILING – CLASSIFICATON

The Effect of Temperature on the Enzyme Catalase Stephen Francis Biology 183 Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the resultant effect of temperature change on the reaction between the enzyme catalase and hydrogen peroxide. This experiment was performed by measuring and comparing the amount of oxygen bubbles produced and the absorbance of the catalase and hydrogen peroxide solution over time at room temperature‚ 2°C‚ 50°C‚ and 60°C. The overall result of this experiment proved

ABSTRACT Enzymes are biological catalysts; they cause reactions to happen that would not normally occur due to the activation energy that would be required. They bring together substrates and cause chemical reactions that are essential for life. Without enzymes life processes‚ and life in of itself‚ would not be possible. Enzymes are also special because very little of the actual enzyme is actually used up in the reaction. In this lab two different factors‚ temperature and pH‚ were tested to see

BOILING POINTS AND MELTING POINTS PART 2 Name: Grethel Zegarra Date of Lab: October 26‚ 2010 Date lab is due: November 2‚ 2010 HYPOTHESIS The boiling point in degrees Celsius will increase as the number of carbon atoms increase. The melting point of the unknown will indicate its mixed substances. The boiling point will increase as a result of the different branching of the OH‚ the melting point will be affected by the different positioning of the OH on the benzene ring. PURPOSE To introduce

information about boiling water. If you cover the tin and allow the water and air to cool down‚ the air will cool and contract‚ lowering the pressure in the tin. If it lowers enough‚ the partial vacuum will collapse the walls of the can! The boiling point definitely reduces with air pressure. There is a famous demonstration where boiling water or coffee is drunk‚ the trick is it was in a vacuum chamber where it boiled at room temperature. The actual definition of the boiling point of water is

Title : THE EFFECT OF PH ON THE ACTIVITY OF CATALASE Aim : To study the effect of pH on the activity of catalase. Introduction : Catalase‚ an enzyme found in many different tissues‚ catalyses the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. 2 H202 → 2H20 + O2 Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic substance that can be formed during aerobic respiration and catalase removes this product. The activity of catalase can be measured by finding the rate of oxygen release from hydrogen peroxide

The Effect of Boiling on the Rate of Aerobic Respiration of Germinating Peas Abstract Aerobic respiration is an enzyme mediated process during which glucose is used to make ATP to fuel the cells energy needs. Germination is one of such processes that make use of aerobic respiration and because certain factors can affect aerobic respiration‚ it would also affect germination. In this experiment‚ we examined the effects of boiling on the rate of aerobic respiration of germinating peas. Unboiled
