bung. 7. Take measurement of gas after 2 minutes. 8. Repeat. Investigating the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction. James Moore Conclusion: For the conclusion we see that in fact the hypothesis is correct. When independent variable increases so does the dependent variable. As the amount of enzyme concentration increases so will the rate of the enzyme catalysed reaction. In the human body substrate is always available therefore there is only one

rate of peroxidase activity‚ and the effect of temperature on the rate of peroxidase activity. During the lab‚ the lab group tested 7 test tubes‚ including 1 blank‚ with different amounts of pH 5 buffer‚ H2O2‚ Peroxidase‚ and Guaiacol. After the certain amount of mL per substance was mixed‚ the absorbance readings for the effect of peroxidase concentration were taken from the spectrophotometer. The results for the effect

the outcome of enzyme activity Introduction In this project I will monitor the rate of activity of Catalase. Catalase is an Enzyme which in the right conditions catalyses the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide into water and oxygen; 2H2O2 + Catalase >>> 2H2O + O2 Catalase is found in all cells and protects them from Hydrogen Peroxide which is a dangerous waste product that needs to be eliminated. Without Catalase living things could not survive. What are Enzymes? Enzymes are found in the

sugars were found and not starch‚ is because saliva contains an enzyme known as salivary amylase which catalyses the breakdown of starch to produce sugars such as maltose (Sherwood‚ 2013). When testing the effect of the salivary amylase concentration‚ we observed that the solution containing the most saliva (3ml)‚ become colourless faster than the solution which contained the least saliva (1ml). This proves that an increase in enzyme concentration (increase in saliva)‚ will cause an increase in the

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

LAB 9: DATE: 25TH January‚ 2011. FORM CLASS: L6 3 SUBJECT: Biology TITLE: Enzymes AIM: To investigate the effect of temperature on the enzyme lipase INTRODUCTION: The phenomenon of catalysis makes possible biochemical reactions necessary for all life processes. Catalysis is defined as the acceleration of a chemical reaction by some substance which itself undergoes no permanent chemical change. The catalysts of biochemical reactions are enzymes and are responsible for bringing about almost

AIM The aim of this investigation is to explore the effect of different concentrations of bile salts on the time taken for the lipase enzyme to break down fat. BILE Bile is a brownish bitter alkaline fluid produced by the liver and made by the hepatocytes from water‚ bile salts‚ bile pigments cholesterol and phospholipids and stored in the gall bladder. Bile is directly connected with digestion. It is released sporadically into the small intestine (duodenum) which is part of the gut in order

Omar Shbeeb Toothpick Enzyme Lab 9/25/13 Introduction Enzymes are used in all metabolic reactions to control the rate of reactions and decrease the amount of energy necessary for the reaction to take place. They are responsible for the thousands of chemical interconversions that sustain life. Enzymes are referred to highly selective catalysts‚ meaning they speed up the rate of metabolic reactions. To react‚ they need to find a perfect match with a substrate. They converge at a place called an

The Relationship between Gene Copy Number‚ Amylase Concentration‚ and Gene Evolution Matthew Fantauzzi 400007178 Shawn Hercules - L15 25 November 2015 Abstract In this lab‚ students were experimenting to determine if a relationship exists between gene copy number‚ amylase concentration‚ and gene evolution. At the same time‚ this lab was designed to introduce university freshman to the etiquette and conventions used in a formal research setting. The methods used ranged from sample production
