In this lab‚ we were able to determine measuring the pH of liquids work. We were able to compare the liquids based on their pH level and determine which liquid was acidic or basic. Our results showed that if something came out to be seven or less‚ according to the pH scale‚ it means that an acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions. Because of this‚ when an acid is dissolved in water‚ the balance between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is shifted. Now there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide

BIOLOGY LAB REPORT (UNIT 7: ENZYMES) GENERAL Enzymes are protein that acts as catalyst‚ lowering the activation energy need for reactions to progress in cells. The reaction can still occur without the presence of the enzyme‚ but at a much slower rate. The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy need for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding from a given set of reactants. In enzymatic reactions‚ we have substrates which are reactants of reaction bound to an enzyme. While an active site

Assessment of Catalase Function Lab Introduction The purpose of this lab report was to test and measure the rate of substrate destruction by an enzyme‚ we tested the destruction of hydrogen peroxide by the enzyme catalase. Hydrogen peroxide is a poisonous by product of metabolism that can damage cells if it is not removed. Catalase is an enzyme that speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. H2O2 + catalase → H2O + O2 A catalyst is a substance that lowers the

Enzyme are a very important component in living organisms. If enzymes did not exist than life itself would not exist (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). They help in many different ways that are useful to the body of living organisms. Enzyme are used to speed up chemical reactions (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). Through this process‚ they are considered very unique because they are not altered or consumed within the reaction (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). This is why enzymes are considered biological catalysts. They also do not

The different methods of measuring acids and bases in a solution By Starsky Intro to Biology September 26‚ 2011 Lab Partners: Kristen‚ Tania and Betty Introduction When using different methods to measure pH levels there are some tools that can be useful. Some more than others but by putting into action the different methods it may determine which tools will work best and give the best

Abstract The purpose of this lab was to test if ethanol affects the reaction involving hydrogen peroxide and catalase. Tests were performed by putting chicken liver‚ ethanol solution (diluted ethanol solution for other trials) and hydrogen peroxide in a test tube with a side arm‚ and having a rubber tube lead the oxygen gas into a gas collection tube. Results from the tests showed a negative correlation‚ this means that the more diluted the solution of 95% ethanol was‚ the less oxygen gas collected

Enzymes are catalytic proteins that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. our body cells depend highly on enzymes to complete many important functions‚ such as digestion and metabolism. Enzymes are selective‚ in which each enzyme can only speed up a specific reaction. There are molecules that enzymes work with called substrates. substrate bind to an area of an enzyme called active site. There is specificity between the enzyme and substrate that react with

Title: Catalase enzyme detection Objective: To understand the function of catalase in cells that produce the enzyme‚ interpret the results of a catalase test and know their value in differentiating bacteria. Materials: 1 clean microscopic slide‚ 3% H2O2 solution‚ swabs. Micrococcus luteus‚ Enterococcus faecalis‚ patient G Procedure: 1) Scrape some cells off from each bateria to the slant and place them on glass slide. 2) Place one or two drops of H2O2. Watch for bubbling as an indication of

Temperature and pH on Enzyme Function Chelsie Mesa Section 0479 Robin Cotter Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to identify three unknown enzymes. This is done by using different temperature and pH to affect the function of the enzyme‚ which ultimately‚ will affect how much maltose is produced. Enzymes are proteins that help catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions‚ the molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates‚ and the enzyme converts them
