Investigating the Relationship between Concentration of Sodium Chloride and the Rate of Reaction of Enzyme Amylase Research Question: How will changing the percentage of sodium chloride concentration affect the rate of reaction of enzyme amylase‚ measured using the absorbance of starch and iodine with a spectrophotometer. Introduction: Amylase is an enzyme that is involved in the human digestive process. Found in both the human pancreas and the human saliva‚ amylase breaks down starch into sugar so

The Effect of Concentration Gradient on Osmosis Abstract: Osmosis is the passive movement of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration‚ usually across a membrane (Thorpe 2013). Tonicity is the ability of a solution surrounding a cell to gain or lose water (Reece 2011). There are many factors that affect the rate of osmosis. These include temperature‚ surface area‚ difference in water potential‚ pressure‚ light and dark and most importantly what we will be talking

from 0.93-1.04 grams from the solutions containing AgNO3 (Table 1). Graph one depicts the correlation of percent change in weight for each sucrose concentration with AgNO3 added. The initial length of the potato cylinders were 2cm as depicted in table two. Graph two depicts the correlation of percent change in length in different sucrose concentrations. The initial weights for the solutions lacking AgNO3 ranged from 1.0-1.7grams (Table 3). Graph three displays the correlation for the percent change

Effects on Survivors of Concentration Camps Many people during the 1940s were put into concentration camps‚ and after getting out‚ if they did get out‚ suffered many problems. The stress and torment these people went through was pure murder (Nelken). The humans put into these concentration camps were from many different races‚ and also included the mentally retarded‚ severely handicapped‚ insane‚ and very sick people (Austin). Survivors of concentration camps faced psychological‚ spiritual‚ physical

1 The Limits of Amylase 2-1-14 Abstract This report explains the purpose of this experiment in a way that conveys information to the reader about Amylase’s ability to withstand acidic or basic pH. To do this‚ two test tubes were both filled with 5mL of a 5% amylase solution. The first one was filled with an acid‚ while the other was filled with a base. After dropping liquid Iodine and Benedict’s solution into each one‚ the tube with a basic pH tested positive for glucose. The acidic solution

Date: 14th-15th October Title: The effect of the concentration of hydrogen peroxide on catalase Aim: to examine how the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction Hypothesis: The substrate concentration will determine the rate of reaction. The reaction will increase as the concentration increases‚ but from a certain concentration‚ the rate will maintain the same rate Materials: 3% hydrogen peroxide 6% hydrogen peroxide catalase round metal basin measuring cylinder

Practical Assessment 2 – The effect of substrate concentration on the rate of enzyme activity of Catalase Aim To investigate the effect of substrate concentration (manipulated by increasing concentration of hydrogen peroxide) on the rate of enzyme activity of catalase‚ produced by liver cells‚ on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Introduction Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rates of reactions. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction‚ the substrate binds to the active site and

! Affect of pH on Porcine Pancreatic Alpha-Amylase Activity Introduction Proteins function in a variety of different ways‚ and one of their fundamental tasks is to act as enzymes. Enzymes are extremely important in controlling reaction speed (by initiating and regulating biological activity)‚ cell communication‚ and growth. One particularly significant enzyme is amylase‚ which catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha glycosidic linkages of amylose‚ starch components‚ and other oligosaccharides (Qian
