Enzyme Lab: Peter Kuetzing – 10/4/2012 – F Block 1. How does changing the concentration of enzyme affect the rate of decomposition of H2O2? When more enzymes is added the rate of reaction speeds up. In this case‚ H2O2 will produce more O2‚ in return the kpa/min will go up. 2. What do you think will happen to the rate of reaction if the concentration of enzyme is increased to five drops? Predict what the rate would be for 5 drops. I think that the rate of reaction will slightly increase from

The Effects on Enzymes By Bailey Rose The Effects on Enzymes Bailey Rose 10/31/2011 Abstract In this lab exercise‚ the study of enzyme catalase‚ we viewed the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme Concentration were the conditions tested in the experiment. Our class performed

Sample Lab Report: Factors which Affect the Activity of the Enzyme Catalase Purpose: Must include: background information about concepts involved in the lab‚ statement of purpose of the lab identification of independent and dependent variables. 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

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

Effects of Temperature on Enzyme Biology Introduction In order to understand the activity of enzymes at different temperatures the ability of the enzyme to function can be measured. This is important in many applications such as Polymerase Chain Reaction for forensics as well as genetics research where manipulation of temperature-dependent enzymes allows for replication of DNA segments. Bennett states‚ “when the energy - measured
Premium Temperature Enzyme Chemical reaction
An enzyme is a biological catalyst‚ meaning that it is a substance that possess the ability to increase or speed up the rate of reaction without itself being used up in the process. Enzymes provide an alternate reaction pathway by lowering the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur. For two molecules to react they must collide with each other‚ however‚ they have to collide with sufficient energy. Sufficient energy means that between them they have enough energy to overcome the energy barrier

Title: The Effect of Adjusted Concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide on the change in reaction rate of liver catalase. Hypothesis: Null Hypothesis: If the concentration of the Hydrogen Peroxide is changed then there would be no change in the reaction rate. Alternate Hypothesis 1: I there is an increase in concentration in concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide then the reaction rate of the liver catalase will increase. Alternate Hypothesis 2: If there is an increase in concentration in concentration of Hydrogen

Abstract The catalysis of enzymes within our bodies is essential for human survival and when this ability is impaired by the presence of Hydrogen ions‚ our cells cannot function properly. This experiment was conducted to determine if the reaction rate changes in response to a variation of acidic‚ neutral‚ and basic solutions. The experimental results indicated that the basic/high pH solution has a faster rate of reaction in the solution. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that catalyze and
