    salivate is because your body wants to release an enzyme called amylase. Amylase is the enzyme found in your saliva. The purpose of this enzyme is to help in the digestion process (McD‚ 2002). Enzymes are biological catalyst that help speed up the reaction by lowering the activation energy. These enzymes allow your food to be digested at a faster rate (National Institute of Asian Medicine‚ 2007). There are many factors that can affect the efficiency of enzymes which include pH levels‚ the amount of substrate

    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 in their actions and each enzyme controls one

    Enzymes are organic catalysts‚ usually proteins that speed up metabolic reactions. They lower the amount of energy needed for reactions to progress in cells. In enzymatic activity‚ the molecules at the beginning are called substrates. Lactose metabolism is when lactose is destroyed‚ maintained or produced. For instance‚ being lactose intolerance that’s where lactose is destroyed. Metal cofactors in enzyme activity are required to function properly. The Effect of Temperature on Enzymatic Activity:

    Anatomy of Flowering Plants Tissues A tissue is a group of cells having a common origin and usually performing a common function. Based on cell’s capability to divide‚ tissues are classified into two main groups which are as follows: 1. Meristematic and 2. Permanent tissues. Meristematic Tissues: Cells in the meristematic tissue are capable of dividing. Meristematic tissues are found in those regions which need to grow continuously. For example‚ root tips and stem tips contain meristematic

    The effect of Lead ions on amylase activity Aim What is the effect of Lead ions on the enzyme Amylase. And does it have an inhibitory effect‚ which causes the substrate‚ in this case starch to be blocked from the reaction process in the enzyme catalyst. Also is the effect reversible or irreversible‚ which is put on the amylase. Method Apparatus and substances required Test tube holder 2% starch solution 6 boiling tubes labelled 1 to 6 1% lead nitrate solution 6 test tubes labelled A to E‚

    HB105: Introductory Physiology The Action of Enzymes Introduction An enzyme is located in all living cells‚ and is a complex protein molecules. These protein based molecule act as a catalyst. This is a compound that aids chemical reactions without its own structure and state being changed during the process. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions‚ changing substrates into specific produce. Without these enzymes life would not exist. Enzymes are fundamental to all living things as they speed up

    Abstract Enzyme catalysis was observed in order to analyze how changes in temperature‚ pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ and substrate concentration affected an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. This experiment analyzed the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and observed the correlation between catalase activity and products formed. It was found out that the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction starts off rapidly‚ decreases‚ and levels off or completely stops‚ and can be further affected by environmental factors
