The effect temperature has on the activity of the enzyme α- amylase. Introduction Enzymes are a biological catalysts‚ which means that they speed up the chemical reactions in living organisms. Almost all of enzymes are energized protein molecules that catalyse and regulate nearly all biochemical reactions that occur within the human body. The reason in which enzymes are sensitive to heat‚ pH and heavy metal ions is because they are made up of proteins. The food we eat is turned into energy by enzymes

Introduction For this experiment‚ we are going to determine the effect of temperature on solubility‚ to be done in a chemical by dissolving a solute in a definite amount of solution which is saturated. Specifically‚ the goal of this experiment is to prepare a saturated solution of Na2C2O4 in water at different temperatures‚ determine the effect of temperature in solubility‚ and to apply Le Chatelier’s Principle. We can do all this by simply titrating a certain amount of standard KMnO4‚ and measuring

Aim How temperature affects membranes: investigating the effect temperature has on Beta vulgaris membranes when submerged in a range of different temperatures for one minute. Background Information A cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer formed by phospholipids that have a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. The phospholipids arrange themselves in order that the heads are exposed to water and the tails are not thus forming the bilayer. When the temperature increases molecules

Experiment 4 – Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim To study the effects of temperature on the activity of amylase enzyme on starch solution. Introduction Enzymes are widely known as biological catalyst. Almost all cellular reactions are controlled and guarded by enzymes. Virtually every metabolic reaction which takes place within a living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Enzymes are complex three-dimensional globular proteins. Some of the enzymes are built up off proteins and

Aim: To investigate the effect to the potato cells in the different solute concentration water Introduction; Water can move through the different cells due to the difference of water potentials in the cells. If there is a higher solute concentration in the cell than outside the cell‚ the water will move into the cell. However‚ if the concentration of inside the cell is lower than the outside‚ water will not move into the cell. This process is called osmosis. Research question; This investigation

The Effect of Temperature on Beet Cell Membranes Introduction In this lab‚ we are going to learn how the stress of temperature affects fresh beets. We have come to learn that cell membranes organize the chemical activities of cells. All cells are made of plasma membranes‚ often called fluid mosaics. It is sometimes described as a mosaic because it is made of protein molecules that are embedded into phospholipids. Phospholipids are the main structural support of the membrane and the proteins

structure of the plasma membrane and explain the process of active and passive transport through the membrane. The plasma membrane is made up of proteins that form pores and channels‚ carbohydrate molecules that are used for cell recognition and cholesterol to provide membrane stability. Phospholipid molecules are the most abundant component found in the plasma membrane. Phospholipids molecules are composed of a phosphate head and a lipid tail; the structure of a cell membrane is a double layer
