LCT and UCT causes the endotherm’s metabolic rate to increase. We can hypothesize that when the temperature falls below the LCT or above the UCT‚ the percent O2 consumption will increase‚ and thus‚ the metabolic rate. The hypothesis was supported by the result received in this lab. The thermal neutral zone (TNZ) of an endotherm is its temperature tolerance range. For the mouse‚ this is about room temperature. It is seen that in the TNZ‚ the metabolic rate decreases from about 1.75 to 1 (Fig 1). During

The purpose of the experiment conducted was to observe if a higher concentration or lower concentration gradient would affect the diffusion rate of the iodine moving through the starch concentration. This was shown to be an accurate experiment as with a higher concentration gradient the diffusion that did occur happened a lot faster and diffused more efficiently compared to no iodine solution and just water. This is due to the molecular collisions speeding up the experiment in the time period given

Enzyme Catalysis Lab: Laboratory Write Up Problem/Question: What happens to the amounts of gas produced in a catalyzed reaction of Hydrogen Peroxide when the catalyst is mixed with an acid? Theory/Hypothesis: In this experiment the researcher and their team will be performing tests on a catalyst (proteins found in potato) to see what will happen when the catalyst in a Hydrogen Peroxide reaction is treated with an acid before the reaction occurs. The researcher hypothesizes that the after treating

Structure: Enzymes are globular proteins that act as catalysts‚ they have a specific 3D shape that is the result of their amino acid sequence. There is a specific region of the enzyme that is functional‚ this is called the active site. The active site is made up of a small number of amino acids and forms a small depression within the larger enzyme molecule. Moreover‚ the molecule that the enzyme acts upon (substrate) fits precisely into the depression and forms an enzyme-substrate complex. The substrate

My lab group studied the effect of PH on reaction rate/ enzyme activity measured by foam height. PH is the measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The higher the hydrogen ion concentration‚ the lower the pH. Every enzyme has an optimal PH‚ meaning they have a very small window in which they are most active. Our enzyme (potato smoothie) had an optimal PH of 7.0-7.5. We know this because we measured the enzyme’s reaction rate by measuring foam height. The largest foam height we

Effect of Temperature on Solubility of a Salt Ahmed Mohammed 17-nov-2013 Abstract In this experiment‚ you will study the effect of changing temperature on the amount of solutet will dissolve in a given amount of water. In this experiment‚ you will completely dissolve different quantities of potassium nitrate‚ KNO3‚ in the same volume of water at a high temperature. As each solution cools‚ you will monitor temperature using a computer-interfaced Temperature Probe and observe

Computer Enzyme Action: Testing Catalase Activity 6A H2O2 is toxic to most living organisms. Many organisms are capable of enzymatically destroying the H2O2 before it can do much damage. H2O2 can be converted to oxygen and water‚ as follows: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 Although this reaction occurs spontaneously‚ enzymes increase the rate considerably. At least two different enzymes are known to catalyze this reaction: catalase‚ found in animals and protists‚ and peroxidase‚ found in plants. A great

Investigating the effect of pH on the activity of the enzyme catalase. Introduction Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid which appears colourless in a dilute solution‚ slightly more viscous than water. It is a weak acid. It has strong oxidizing properties and is therefore a powerful bleaching agent that is mostly used for bleaching paper. Catalase is a common enzyme found in all living organisms. Its functions include the conversion of Hydrogen Peroxide‚ a powerful and potentially
