Improvements 12 Appendix 13 References 13 Journal 14 1 Design 1.1 Defining the problem Research Question This lab will be driven by the research question; do changes in temperature (from 0˚C‚ 7˚C‚ 21˚C‚ 37˚C‚ and 90˚C) have an effect on the activity of the enzyme catalase (found in beef liver) in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide? Hypothesis If liver is placed in different temperatures of 0˚C‚ 7˚C‚ 21˚C‚ 37˚C‚ and 90˚C and hydrogen peroxide is added to each piece of liver‚ then

The Power of Concentration By Remez Sasson When I was a child‚ I saw how a magnifying glass could burn a piece of paper‚ when the rays of the sun were focused through it. The fire could start only when the sun’s rays were concentrated to a small point. When the magnifying glass was moved too far away or too close to the paper‚ the rays were not focused enough and nothing happened. This experience describes vividly the power of concentration. This power can be described as focused attention. It

given off when different concentrations of catalase are added with hydrogen peroxide. Aim: To see if changing the concentration of catalase (found in celery) with hydrogen peroxide affects the amount of oxygen given of. Background Information: (Hydrogen peroxide - H2O2 1/2O2+H2O) Enzymes: Hundreds of chemical reactions happen simultaneously inside living cells and it’s the job of enzymes to control and regulate the various metabolic activities. Enzymes are biochemical catalysts

College General Biology I Enzymes‚ test for effect of pH on catalase activity Purpose The main purpose of this experiment was to learn about enzymes and how to test for the effect of pH on catalase activity and to be able to tell if a reaction is an exergonic or endergonic process. Introduction Enzymes are made from amino acids‚ which are made from proteins. In order to make an enzyme‚ hundreds of amino acids are strung together in a very specific and unique order and eventually is folded

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Concentration has been defined as the ability to direct one’s thinking in whatever direction one would intend. Concentration plays vital roles in doing well in studies. A student has to work really hard and concentrate firmly to get concepts well in mind. All students have the ability to concentrate some of the time. But at other times students’ thoughts are scattered‚ and their minds race from one thing to another. They don’t have the ability to

Examining the market structure is essential for firms to perform well and behave rationally. The key characteristics of market structure include the number and size of firms‚ the existence and height barriers to entry and exit‚ and the degree of product differentiation. Seller concentration refers to the number and level

THE EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION ON REACTION RATE INTRODUCTION • Concentration is one factor which has an effect o the rate of a chemical reaction. In chemistry we describe concentration in terms of the number of moles of a substance there are in every cubic decimetre (litre) of solution‚ written as moles.dm-3 of M for short. • In this experiment you will find out how increasing the concentration of the acid solution changes the rate of the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and magnesium
