Matthew Saldanha Bio DCP lab-Catalase experiment Aim: To investigate enzyme kinetics‚ using different concentration of the enzyme. Hypothesis: The assay system used in the lab consists of a filter paper disc coated with the enzyme and the dropped into a papercup of substrate (Hydrogen Peroxide). As the hydrogen breaks down the hydrogen peroxide into hydrogen and oxygen gas‚ the bubbles of oxygen gas collect underneath the filter and make it

| [pic] Introduction Enzymes are catalysts which speed up a reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway of lower activation energy. But they do not undergo permanent changes and so they remain unchanged even at the end of the reaction. Many enzymes consist of proteins and non-proteins called the cofactor. The intra- and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary

Intrinsically they have like outcomes on the human body to anabolic steroids‚ triggering fast weight and force advances‚ but of a minor scale cause of the frequency limiting consequence produced by the enzyme adaptation. However‚ this theoretical explanation is thought-out somewhat outdated due to the expansions which have been done in supplement science. Epistane is amongst the hottest upscale steroids obtainable today‚ and it is achieving attention very

Saliva Lab Since the amylase enzyme is present in saliva‚ starch digestion begins in the mouth. Salivary amylase changes the polysaccharide starch into many disaccharide molecules of maltase (a simple sugar) which are further broken down into glucose units by maltase enzyme in the As stated above‚ saliva contains the amylase enzyme which begins the breakdown of starches. The efficiency of starch digestion by amylase can be measured by how much simple sugar it produces under

Enzymes and their importance in plants and animals (25 marks) Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which accelerate the speed of chemical reactions in the body without being used up or changed in the process. Animals and plants contain enzymes which help break down fats‚ carbohydrates and proteins into smaller molecules the cells can use to get energy and carry out the processes that allow the plant or animal to survive. Without enzymes‚ most physiological processes would not take place. Hundreds of

Bio Lab Report In part II of the Organic Compounds in Foods lab‚ we to examining whether or not the starch in the saltine cracker can chemically break down in sugar with the presence of salivary amylase‚ which is an enzyme found in your mouth which assists in digestion. My group and I were instructed to obtain a saltine cracker from our teacher and chew on it for approximately 2 minutes. After concluding the chewing‚ we then grabbed a beaker and spit our slimy and chewed cracker into it. Subsequently

Biomes Comparison Essay Ecologists group earth’s diverse environments into biomes. A biome is a complex of terrestrial communities that develops a large area and is characterized by certain soil climate conditions and particular assemblages of plants and animals. Not all species live in every biome they vary in their adaptations to different conditions. An adaptation is an inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce. These sorts of variations in plants

BIOLOGY IA A Factor That Will Affect Enzyme Activity The Question Effects on Enzyme activity: investigating the effects of mixing Hydrogen Peroxide with Catalase extracted from potatoes at different temperatures‚ and then comparing the results with the same method‚ except to replace the Potato juice with MnO2 Hypothesis Since enzymes are a type of protein‚ they will be destroyed at high temperatures and activity rates will go down at low temperatures. Also‚ if done at low temperature
