Dana Calderone Responses of Enzyme Activity from pH and Concentration Abstract Enzymes are the key to many of the chemical reactions that our bodies depend on to live. Without enzymes‚ we would not exist. These biological catalysts speed up the reactions as well as reduce the amount of activation energy needed to complete the process. Knowing how important enzymes are to us‚ it is important to realize what they require to function. They need select conditions and rates to work right. These conditions

structure of proteins. We used a raw egg and noted the changes that happen when there were changes in temperature‚ pH levels‚ and salinity. Five eggs were cracked open and placed into different bowls with different solutions placed into each bowl. What we looked at was the process of denaturing of proteins seeing how it affected the composition of the raw egg between the yoke and white portion. My hypothesis for this experiment is: Solution 1 will case the egg to denature and separate‚ Solution 2

him and his wife out of the family mansion. In his opinion‚ she is a good-for-nothing "leech" that has attached itself to his household‚ and is just living off him. Blanche’s lifelong habit of avoiding unpleasant realities leads to her breakdown as seen in her irrational response to death‚ her dependency‚ and her inability to defend herself from Stanley’s attacks. Blanche’s situation with her husband is the key to her later behavior. She married rather early at the age

In this report‚ the concentration of total protein and albumin were calculated with the interpretation of a standard curve. To determine the concentration of total protein in human serum‚ a total protein assay was performed by using the Biuret reagent. Proteins react to this compound because it contains two amide bonds. When the Biuret reagents is introduced to a sample of protein‚ it forms a blue or violet complex. The concentration of albumin in human serum is determined by using the Bromocresol

Egg shell as face powder (related literature) Eggshells are composed of around 95% calcium carbonate‚ a mineral that is very important for industry‚ nutrition and agriculture. There are many studies trying to find new ways to utilize this resource and their natural absorbent properties‚ as in treating cadmium in wastewater. So‚ never toss out those egg shells. They’re not garbage‚ but can be very useful around the house and yard. They also help to save you money by replacing many expensive‚ toxic

The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of different concentrations of sodium chloride have on the germination of lettuce seeds‚ Lactuca sativa. A study done by Katembe et al.‚ (1998) stated that an increase in salt solution in the environment of the seed will slow down water imbibition‚ therefore‚ preventing germination and root growth. The prediction for this experiment was that lettuce seeds‚ Lactuca sativa‚ having a higher concentration of salt in their environment will have a lower

Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to observe and understand the effects of changes in temperature‚ pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ and substrate concentration on the reaction rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Another purpose of the lab was to explain how environmental factors affect the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Hypothesis: I believe that if there is an increase in enzyme concentration‚ an increase in temperature‚ or an increase in pH‚ then the intensity of the reaction will

The Floating Egg Problem Introduction: This experiment was constructed to aid in the practice of using the volumetric system and the glassware that determines volume. Volumetric glassware contains an accurate amount of liquid and also measures the volume accurately. Density is a measure of how much matter takes up a certain amount of space or volume. The more matter you can pack into a certain space‚ the denser it is. Although we often confused the two‚ density and weight are actually two

Acid –Base Titration: A volume of 128 mL of 0.650 M Ba(OH)2 was required to completely neutralize 50.0 mL of nitric acid solution (HNO3). What is the concentration of the acid solution? Gravimetric Titration: Calculate the molar concentration of Ba2+ ions in a 500.0 mL sample of an unknown aqueous solution if 2.47 g BaSO4 is formed upon the addition of excess Na2SO4?
