    Enzymes are catalysts that are used to speed up chemical reactions. Adding inorganic catalysts to reactants increase the rate of most chemical reactions. However‚ all enzymes are different and there are numerous amounts. Many enzymes are essential for life and reactions would not happen rapidly to maintain life with the help of enzymes. Specific enzymes lower the activation energy for specific reactions and shapes. Activation energy is required to start a chemical reaction. This occurs when energy

    The Effect of Substrate Concentration on Initial Reaction Rate The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between substrate concentration and initial reaction rate provided that substrate concentration is much greater than enzyme concentration. Enzymes are essential to life as they are required for many vital metabolic reactions to occur. To adequately explain the properties of enzymes‚ it is assumed that an enzyme-controlled reaction takes place through an enzyme-substrate

    Abstract The major objective of this experiment was to observe the effects of catalase under varying controlled conditions. The scope of this experiment includes Metabolic processes‚ such as cellular respiration‚ and it poisonous byproduct hydrogen peroxide. The methodology includes procedures; multiple variables were tested in specific concentrations; that test the reaction rates of the enzyme catalase over a fixed period of time. The major conclusion was that catalase reacts faster in warm temperatures

    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

    place at an incredibly fast rate; however‚ without enzymes‚ these reactions could possibly take several years to complete. An enzyme is a macromolecule‚ generally a protein‚ that lowers the activation energy of a reaction without being changed by the reaction‚ and this causes the reaction to occur much faster than usual (Campbell et al.‚ 2014). The act of speeding of a chemical reaction is called catalysis‚ and molecules that perform this are called catalyst. Enzymes act as catalysts‚ and there a

    Investigating the effect of changing substrate concentration on the activity of the enzyme catalase The aim of this experiment is to examine how the concentration of a substrate (hydrogen peroxide) affects the rate of reaction of an enzyme catalyse (found in liver cells) Research Question: how does changing the concentration of the substrate affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse? Hypothesis: As the concentration of the substrate increases‚ so does the rate of reaction until the reaction

    Concentration The Problem In many colleges over 8% of the students report problems concentrating on their studies. Most of these students blame outside distractions for their problems. Many research studies manipulating noise levels and distractions have found that such disturbances may increase‚ decrease‚ or not even affect concentration. These researchers have therefore concluded that distracters don’t cause concentration problems directly. It is the way the distracters are interpreted

    Title of investigation: The effect of solute concentration on osmosis in potatoes. Research question: What is the solute concentration of a potato? Hypothesis: Osmosis is the movement of water across the membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The osmosis continues until the solute concentrations are equal in both areas. In this experiment‚ we put pieces of potatoes into test tubes with sugar solutions of different concentrations and leave them there over night

    Enzymes and Their Importance in Plants and Animals Enzymes are large proteins that are responsible for catalysing thousands of metabolic processes that sustain life. Enzymes work similarly to those catalysts used in industry by lowering activation energy and therefore dramatically speeding up the rate of a reaction‚ however‚ these biological catalysts are highly selective to their substrate. Almost every chemical reaction that occurs in a cell requires enzymes in order to occur at rates required
