    INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RATE OF ENZYME ACTIVITY. To investigate the effect that temperature has on enzyme activity I am going to use the enzyme amylase‚ which is used as a biological catalyst to break down starch‚ which cannot pass through the gut wall due to the size of the molecules‚ into smaller ones. Amylase is a carbohydrase‚ which converts starch to simple sugars in the Salivary Glands. Three features of all enzymes are: They are always proteins. They are specific

    An investigation into the effects of temperature on enzyme action An enzyme is a biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of reaction in certain biological functions. They play a vital role in many aspects of human physiology and are necessary for the functioning of a number of systems‚ for example in the digestive system to help to break down food. All enzymes have a unique active site that can fit on to a particular molecular arrangement on a target substrate; a substance e.g. carbohydrate

    W0Associate Program Material Cell Energy Worksheet Answer the following questions: Cellular respiration: • What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? Cellular respiration is a way cells store food and energy‚ a catabolic pathway for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The cellular respiration happens in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. The three stages are Glycolysis‚ Citric cycle‚ and electron transport. • What is the role

What are the actors (e.g.‚ what parts of the organism are in conflict) and what are they in conflict over? The 2 μm plasmid of Saccharomyces yeast is in conflict with the cell host‚ this plasmid cost the host through using the cells’ resources ; meaning a burden on the host to synthesize more proteins as well as increasing the amount of DNA the host cells needs to accommodate.

    oxygen used at each temperature is directly proportional to the intense of the respiration process that was taking place (Doltar et al.‚ 249). This means that there was high rate of respiration at a temperature of 30°C test tube as compared with the other three test tubes. The optimum temperature for enzyme activity is usually between 35-37°C (Burchfield‚ 303). At this temperature the enzyme activity is maximum and thus the rate of respiration is very high at this temperature. This is the reason

    To investigate the effect of temperature on an enzyme controlled reaction Introduction and planning For the investigation of enzymes‚ I am going to conduct an experiment to see how temperature can affect the rate of reaction of enzymes by testing it with starch. The enzyme that we are going to use is called amylase. We are going to test this enzyme with starch. By mixing amylase and starch solutions together under different temperature conditions‚ we can record the rate of reaction by taking a

    Temperature Effects on Radish (Raphanus sativus) Root Development Abstract Several studies have been conducted to establish how temperature‚ seed germination‚ and root growth are related. Because temperature plays a main role in many growth processes‚ we decided to focus on how it affected root growth. Radish (Raphanus sativus) seeds were chosen due to their ability to produce a distinct bulbous tuber‚ and their relatively short growing time. Three test groups were placed under different temperature

    experiment to find the optimum temperature and pH for starch on amylase. The experiment was carried out in one day. The researcher and a partner did the experiment based on a lab manuel from class. Data was collected from the experiment and to be displayed on graphs. Then the optimum pH and temperatures were to be calculated based on the findings. The hypothesis was disproved due to the optimum pH of 5 but the other findings supported the hypothesis of the optimal temperature being 45 degrees Celsius.

    Yeast Population Dynamics Lab How Environmental Factors Affect a Yeast Population’s Ability to Reproduce OBJECTIVE The objective of this experiment is to emphasize the influence that limiting factors have on a population. This lab tests yeast‚ a common component in baking‚ against two environmental factors (changes in temperature or concentration) to see what effect these have on the population dynamics of the yeast over a period of 72 hours. There are two sections of tests included in this
