INTRODUCTION Enzymes are a protein serving as a catalyst‚ a chemical agent that changes the rate of the reaction without being consumed by the reaction. Enzymes are proteins made up of long chains of amino acids. These form complex shapes. The enzymes are individuals‚ like the different players on a ball team‚ they have different specific structures and jobs. As one ball player may be very tall and one short‚ the specific different shape of the active site on an enzyme is unique and prepares it

December 2012 1. Title and Author 1. The Effect of Extreme Temperatures on the Rate of Photosynthesis 2. Jeffrey Xia 2. Abstract A previous lab in which we conducted‚ tested whether or not the light intensity had an effect on the rate of photosynthesis. We concluded that light intensity did possess an effect on the rate of photosynthesis – the closer the experimental plant units were to the light source‚ the more experimental plant units exhibited the effect of gas exchange in photosynthesis.

the outcome of enzyme activity Introduction In this project I will monitor the rate of activity of Catalase. Catalase is an Enzyme which in the right conditions catalyses the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide into water and oxygen; 2H2O2 + Catalase >>> 2H2O + O2 Catalase is found in all cells and protects them from Hydrogen Peroxide which is a dangerous waste product that needs to be eliminated. Without Catalase living things could not survive. What are Enzymes? Enzymes are found in the

most notable variables is the temperature of the plant’s environment. Previous study has led me to conclude that when the temperature of the plants’ environment is low‚ the rate of photosynthesis is also low because the enzymes responsible for photosynthesis are not able to absorb as much heat energy and in turn will move slower. In contrast‚ if the temperature of the plant’s environment increases‚ the rate of photosynthesis will also increase because the enzymes and molecules responsible for

Concentration Affecting the Rate of Enzyme Activity: Through the Experiment of Beef Liver Puree and Hydrogen Peroxide Research Question Does different amount of substrate affect the rate of enzyme activities? Purpose To examine how different types of concentration (Hydrogen Peroxide) affect the rate of enzyme activity. Hypothesis We believe that if there is more substrate concentrated‚ then there will be an increase in the rate of enzyme activity. This is because we assume the

Lab Report The effect of temperature on the reaction between Catalase and H2O2 Sarah AlShemesi In this experiment we’ll be exploring the effects of temperature on the reaction between Catalase and H2O2.We’ll be using five different temperatures to test this. The five different temperatures will be 10‚ 30‚ 50‚ 70 and 90 oC. We will use the liver as a source of Catalase. A 1 gram piece of liver will be inserted into a test tube with 2 cm3 of water‚ then 2 cm3 of H2O2 will be added. The Catalase

(H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)) have an effect on the activity of the enzyme (catalase)? Theory The higher the substrate concentration the more quickly product is produced (rate of reaction increases) until enzyme saturation is reached at which time more substrate has no further effect. Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction

Problem Question: * What effect does temperature have on the rate of Diffusion? Hypothesis: If we put the antacid in hot water‚ then it will dissolve faster than in cold water or room temperature water. Material List: * One thermometer * 3 beakers (of the same size) * 3 antacid tablets * Cup of ice * Hot plate * Paper towels * Water Procedures: Step 1: Gather materials Step 2: Label the beaker #1‚ #2‚ and #3 Step 3: Fill each beaker with the same amount of
