Hypothesis: If pH is increased or decreased past the enzyme’s optimum pH‚ the number of products produced by the enzyme will decrease because the enzyme will become denatured. Variables: The Independent variable is the pH of the environment. The uncertainty of pH is ± 1. pH is a unitless value. The Dependent variable is the number of products produced. The uncertainty of this this measurement is ± 1 product. In order for this experiment to be controlled‚ many variable were identified and held constant

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

Danny Fish 10/9/11 Chemical Testing To identify An Unknown The hypothesis tested was that depending on the solution presented‚ which would test positive for one of the following‚ proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ or lipids through use of chemical testing. (Sudan IV‚ Benedicts’ Solution‚ Iodine‚ Biuret’s) . In order to gain more information for the hypothesis‚ one must know how to test for said macromolecule. Each of the above stated molecules has their own individual solution that will in turn identify

Effect of Temperature on Solubility Lab Purpose: What is the solubility of minerals in water? What is the relationship between temperature and solubility? Hypothesis: If salt and sugar are each tested in water of varying temperatures‚ then salt and sugar’s solubility will increase as the temperature also increases. Materials: Two 250 mL beakers Tap water 100 mL graduated cylinder Hot plate Two petri dishes Glass stirring rod Salt Sugar Thermometer

Affect of enzyme concentration to the rate of reaction Aim: With the experiment of protein solution‚ in this case egg white added to different pepsin concentrations (0%‚ 0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%) shows‚ as the egg white is a protein and the pepsin works as an enzyme‚ how a higher pepsin concentration and therefore a larger amount of enzymes effect the rate of reaction. Hypothesis: An increased concentration of pepsin speeds up the time the mixture needs to come clear. Introduction:

Abstract The main goal of the enzyme kinetics experiment was to see how the phosphatase-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl produced p-nitrophenol in the presence of phosphate and fluoride ion inhibitors of various concentrations. The calculated Km constant was found to be 0.22 for all reactions. The Vmax values for each inhibition ion were 0.00986 for the phosphate ion and 0.00436 for the fluoride ion. The inhibitor constant‚ Ki‚ was determined to be 0.0967 for the phosphate ion. The inhibitor

DISCUSSION: Bromelian added to Gelatin: Bromelian is an enzyme found in pineapples. When Bromelian is added to gelatin it breaks down the protein and does not allow the gelatin to solidify. There are several factors that can cause an enzyme to slow down or to completely stop reacting. For example‚ temperature and pH can effect enzyme activity. Canned pineapple juice and fresh pineapple juice were used to see how the enzyme would react differently. In fresh pineapple juice the Bromelian have would

Ideal Temperature for junket Aim- To discover the optimum temperature for junket to solidify Hypothesis- That the optimum temperature will be between 35-40°C Independent variable- Temperature (10‚ 40‚ 60 degrees) Dependant variable- Time taken for Junket to set Control- 2 clearly marker test tubes will be placed under each temperature condition‚ one with junket and one without‚ to clear the complication that it might be the temperature that is reacting with the milk and solidifying it instead

The data from the experiment demonstrates that the catalase enzyme breaks down the hydrogen peroxide due to its harmful toxicity to the liver. In section A‚ the effect surface area has on the enzyme was tested. The results have proven that as the surface area increases‚ the reaction rate of the enzyme also increases. To illustrate‚ when the liver was ground‚ the bubbles from the reaction reached a maximum height of 150mm in five seconds less than the unground liver which merely reached a maximum

Broadly speaking‚ enzymes are proteins that is produced to perform as a biological catalyst in chemical reactions. Catalyst are used to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. In this study‚ we performed two different experiments that investigated the effect of varying substrate concentration‚ and the effect of temperature on the rate of Enzyme-Catalase reaction. In experiment one (i.e. the effect of varying substrate concentration on the rate of enzyme-catalase reaction) we tested the hypothesis
