Aim: To find the effect of temperature on enzymes‚ using a potato as a catalyst. The source of catalase is in the potato cells. 2H2O2 → O2 + H2O Planning: Introduction: An Enzyme is any one of many specialised organic substances‚ composed of polymers of amino acids‚ that act as catalysts to regulate the speed of the many chemical reactions involved in the metabolism of living organisms Enzymes are classified into several broad categories‚ such as hydrolytic‚ oxidising‚ and reducing‚ depending

BACTERIAL TRANSFORMATIONS USING PVIB II. INTRODUCTION Transformation is the manipulation of a bacterial cell’s DNA in order to alter the cell’s genotype or phenotype by absorbing free DNA from its surroundings. In this lab‚ pVIB plasmid will be used. A plasmid is a segment of DNA that can incorporate itself into the bacterial DNA. Although is not required for growth of the bacterial cell‚ plasmids can provide advantages in stressful environments such as the ability to adapt as environmental

Aim: The aim of the experiment is to test the effect temperature has on the activity of the enzyme rennin. Hypothesis: I believe the rate of reaction will speed up as the temperature increases until it reaches about 37oC‚ which is the body temperature‚ where it will begin to slow down and stop reacting. I believe this will occur because enzymes have a temperature range at which they work best in and once the temperature goes out of this range the enzyme will stop working. Introduction:Enzymes are

IB Chemistry Lab Report Design Example— Effect of Temperature on Solubility of Potassium Chloride in Water Research question How does temperature affect the solubility of potassium chloride in water? Hypothesis As the temperature of water increases‚ the particles of solid Potassium chloride‚ KCl‚ which are absorbing energy from its surrounding‚ start moving more easily between the solution and its solid state because. According to the second law of thermodynamics‚ the particles will

The effect of salt concentration on grass growth Abstract Our aim was to test the effect of different salinities on the growth of plants which what we did was measured different amounts of salt dissolved into 2 litres of water‚ watered the plant once with the salt water then for 9 days with pure ware. I found with my investigation that the less the salt‚ the more the growth of the plant. My aim was achieved by measuring the 5 fastest geminating (out of 20) and to measure the differences in growth

This study focuses on the effect that temperature has on the enzyme amylase. Enzymes are composed of proteins and acts as a catalyst to speed up the rate of a specific chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. Reactions do not need enzymes to occur‚ but the human body and other living organisms depend on the use of enzymes in order for biochemical reactions to happen in milliseconds. Each enzyme contains a distinct three dimensional structure which is related to its particular function

Effects of Temperature and pH on Catalase Activity INTRODUCTION Enzymes are organic catalysts that spur metabolic reactions. The presence of an enzyme within a cell is essential in order for any sort of reaction to take place. All enzymes are complex proteins that act in an organism’s closely controlled internal environment. In such a homeostatic environment‚ the temperature and the pH (concentration of hydrogen ions)‚ remain within a fairly narrow range. Extreme variations in pH and temperature

of my microbiology class at Brunswick Community College. This journey started out with a media plate cultured with an unknown species of bacteria. I was then instructed by my professor to use all of my previous knowledge to identify the unknown bacterial pathogen. This lab led me to master my skills of using the Gram stain‚ testing for catalase‚ testing for coagulase and using the oxacillin screen. Now I am going to take you with me on the journey to the unknown. As I recall from earlier that
