    Broadly speaking‚ enzymes are proteins that is produced to perform as a biological catalyst in chemical reactions. Catalyst are used to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. In this study‚ we performed two different experiments that investigated the effect of varying substrate concentration‚ and the effect of temperature on the rate of Enzyme-Catalase reaction. In experiment one (i.e. the effect of varying substrate concentration on the rate of enzyme-catalase reaction) we tested the hypothesis

    Enzymes are important components of life‚ facilitating reactions that are necessary for an organism to live. Enzymes can be very specific to what environment they function best in1. Numerous environmental impacts were tested for the enzyme peroxidase which catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The basic decomposition reaction was carried out first without any environmental alterations. The hypothesis for this reaction was supported. The enzyme caused the amount of absorbance increase

    INTRODUCTION Enzymes are a protein serving as a catalyst‚ a chemical agent that changes the rate of the reaction without being consumed by the reaction. Enzymes are proteins made up of long chains of amino acids. These form complex shapes. The enzymes are individuals‚ like the different players on a ball team‚ they have different specific structures and jobs. As one ball player may be very tall and one short‚ the specific different shape of the active site on an enzyme is unique and prepares it

    Introduction In this chemical reaction‚ the magnesium will dissolve in the hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. This is because magnesium is higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series. Therefore‚ when the two reactants are combined‚ a displacement reaction occus and the magnesium displaces the hydrogen‚ forming magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) -> MgCl 2 (aq) + H 2 (g) Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid -> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen

    environmental factors affect the enzyme activity rate. For the first experiment‚ where we tested the increase in concentration of enzyme with the substrate‚ we found that higher concentration of enzyme increases the rate of reaction of the enzyme. This is because more enzyme molecules are present‚ which allow more substrate molecules to get into the active sites of the enzyme (Sattler W& Esterbauer H). When calculating the absorbance of different enzyme concentration‚ it was noticeable that the absorbance

    Lab Ex#8: "Enzymes: Catalysts of Life" INTRODUCTION Enzymes are protein organelles where chemical reactions take place to generate energy within our cells. Without the energy produced from the cell enzyme activity‚ we would not possess the catalyst activity necessary for energy to produce movement. Each enzyme performs a specific function within our bodies. Those functions performed can be significantly altered with the introduction of variables outside their environment. Variables‚ such as temperature

    Testing the effect of concentration on rate of reaction Plan: We are investigating the effect of nitric acid on calcium carbonate. We are doing this experiment‚ as we would like to understand the effect that acid rain has on limestone. We also want to understand how acid can have an effect on rate of reaction. The word equation for the reaction that will take place is: Calcium Carbonate + Nitric Acid Calcium Nitrate + Carbon Dioxide + Water The balanced symbol equation

    LAB 1: What temperature does the enzyme actually work properly in? (Hypothesis) If the temperature is below 40 but above 20‚ then the liver will show bubbles. If the temperature is raised higher than the optimum temperature‚ then an extreme decline in enzyme activity would occur following by the quick denaturing of the enzyme‚ rendering it is permanently useless. Also about 37°C is body temperature. The liver that was at 25°C had a huge amount of bubbles (a 4 on the scale) and the 0°C

    Abstract The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of temperature on the enzyme catalase. The original research question was exploring the effect temperature would have on a yeast catalase reacting with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). To address the latter question a series of experiments were conducted. The various temperatures experimented with were as follows: 22 degrees Celsius (room temperature)‚ 0 degrees Celsius (freezing)‚ 100 degrees Celsius (boiling)‚ and 37 degrees Celsius.

    Activity of the Enzyme Catalase in breaking down Hydrogen Peroxide and the effect of various factors on Enzyme Activity Introduction The enzyme catalase is present in cells in order to speed the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‚ which is a toxic chemical to the human body. When hydrogen peroxide is broken down‚ the end products are Water (H2O) and Oxygen (O2). In this report‚ the reaction of catalase to hydrogen peroxide is being tested. Furthermore‚ the effects of temperature‚ concentration
