Determining the Optimal Temperature and PH of Barley Amylase Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to find the optimal temperature and pH of barley alpha-amylase. I hypothesize that the optimal temperature would be 55 degrees Celsius and the optimal pH would be 5.5. In this experiment‚ the starch is used as a substrate to examine the optimum temperature and pH for the reaction of alpha amylase. It is known that the measuring of disappearance (absorbance) of the substrate starch with iodine

Observing Enzyme Activity Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to test whether the pH affected the enzyme reaction rate. Hypothesis: If the enzyme is in a basic solution‚ then it will react faster because the enzyme (catalase) reacts better in basic solutions.

professor! I chose to discuss topic 2 this week. The topic is Discuss how buffers help to regulate body pH. The pH level in the blood is maintained by the kidneys and the lungs. The pH level on the blood should be at 7.4. In order for the kidneys and lungs to maintain this pH level it affects the buffers in the blood. The buffer is a substance that is resistant to the change in the body’s pH level. Basically the buffers can make an acid or base less potent and try and neutralize it so the body is
