After doing some further research‚ I found that catalase‚ an enzyme‚ which is found in nearly all living

Effecting the Reaction Rate in Enzymes in Plants and Animals Problem- How do variables temperature and surface area affect the rate of reaction occurring in the enzyme? Information- Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. They speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells. Enzymes can be found in both liver and potato. They provide a site where reactants can be brought together to react. These reactants are called substrates that fin into the enzyme. The changing of heat‚

Lab Report Enzymes (must be typed) Name: Amanda Gallegos Date: 2/15/15 Section: BIOL 101GL What is the Hypothesis of this experiment? (3 points) -The highest temperature will affect the reaction rate of enzymes. What is the dependent variable? (1 point) -Change of rate/product/color/absorbency. What is the independent variable? (1 pt) -The temperature. Explain in detail the procedure that you followed (including amount of substrate‚ enzyme etc‚ and the whole procedure including incubation times)

for the pH concentration experiment were put together by using a 10ml-graduated cylinder to obtain 4ml of each pH buffer to insert into cuvettes‚ a micropipette was then used to obtain 0.5ml of catechol and 0.5ml of the catechol oxidase. The pH buffer was made first to avoid any denaturation of the catechol oxidase. Our positive control for this experiment was pH 7 because that is the pH level of most cell membranes in the cytoplasm (Whitson‚ 2016.) Our negative controls varied for each pH buffer

relationship between catalase concentration and the rate of reaction. This means when catalase concentration increases‚ the rate of reaction also increases. In other words‚ at 20% catalase concentration‚ the rate of reaction was only 4.220 mm/s while at 100% catalase concentration‚ the rate of reaction was 7.704 mm/s. This proves the positive correlation between catalase concentration and the rate of reaction. This occurs because as the enzyme concentration increases‚ there are more enzymes available to

temperature on the activity of lipase Aim: To investigate the effects of temperature on the activity of lipase enzyme on milk which contain fats or lipids. Introduction: Enzyme is a kind of biological catalyst that made up of protein. It can speed up the metabolic reactions on various kinds of substances. Like lipase can break down lipid into glycerol or fatty acids in milk. Since enzyme is made up of protein which easily affected by varies temperature. This experiment is carried out to find the

experiment diluted solutions of amylase were created and then tested using a starch solution‚ I2KI for reaction times. The answer to the question was proved to be that more concentration of amylase speeds up the reaction time. Introduction The enzyme‚ amylase is found in the saliva of most animals and in humans. Amylase hydrolyzes starch‚ a plant’s reservation of carbohydrates. Amylase causes a chemical reaction in the polysaccharide starch that breaks down the glucose molecules into maltose

Enzymes are responsible for multiple reactions that take place naturally in the living organisms. The purpose of the enzymes lab was to investigate how the enzymes play a role in a reaction‚ affecting the rate of reaction (ROR). Interestingly‚ we tested how the enzymes affect the reaction rate at multiple temperatures (0‚ 23‚ 37‚ 50‚ 70‚ and 95 C). It was predicted that an increase in temperature will elevate the thermal activity of substrate which increases the chances the substrate molecules will

Enzymes What Are Enzymes? Substances that speed up chemical reactions are called catalysts. Organic catalysts are called enzymes. Enzymes are specific for one particular reaction or group of related reactions. Many reactions cannot occur without the correct enzyme present. They are often named by adding "ase" to the name of the substrate. Example: Dehydrogenases are enzymes that remove hydrogen. Induced-fit Theory The shape of the enzyme must match the shape of the substrate

From the graphs‚ it is evident that an increase in both catalase concentration and substrate concentration resulted in a higher rate of reaction or‚ as observed in the kPa graphs‚ a higher volume of O2(g) formed at the end of the 5 minute trial. Interestingly‚ it should also be noted‚ as it was mentioned in the Figure 2‚ that the trend for the 6mL of 3% H2O2(aq) was more of a linear trend than an exponential decay‚ steadily rising until the end of the 5 minute trial. From this‚ it can be inferred
