    Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ large protein proteins that have a very specific three-dimensional shape which makes them highly specific and only work on one or a few similar chemical reactions. Enzymes themselves are not consumed in the reaction‚ but they help attract substrates into correct position to undergo chemical reaction. Enzymes greatly speed up the rate of biological reactions by lowering the energy of activation. To get a sense of the speed and efficiency of enzymes‚ substrates can

    The following experiment details the effect of different concentrations of catalase on the production of oxygen and water through the breakdown of Hydrogen Peroxide. In this experiment paper disc where coated in varying concentrations of catalase‚ 0‚ 25‚ 50 75 and 100%. The time taken for the disc to float between two markers on the side of a glass was then recorded. This experiment demonstrates that the higher the concentration of enzyme used the greater the production of oxygen on the paper disc

    Lab Report Factors That Affect Enzymes Reaction Rate Name of lab: Effects of temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity Introduction: Enzymes are the most important types of proteins‚ they act as catalysis (speed up chemical reactions). If enzymes didn’t exist‚ biochemical reactions would act to slowly and they couldn’t keep up with the metabolic functions. Enzymes have a three-dimensional structure that is really complex. This structure consists

    Investigating the Effect of Concentration on the Rate of Enzyme Catalysed Reaction  To investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of enzyme  catalysed reaction I must know all the factors that affect it in order  to investigate in this.  Here are all the factors:  Temperature- Enzyme like it warm but not too hot. Enzymes are  biological catalysts‚ which speed up chemical reactions. They work  most efficiently at the optimum point (37°C). If they are below 37°C  they will work

    pancreatic lipase and the digestion of proteins by pepsin and trypsin By Jenny Lam Abstract The purpose of this project was to determine how pancreatic lipase and bile salts digest fats to fatty acids and glycerol and how pepsin and tryspin digest to polypeptides. Litmus solution (pH indicator) was used for the fats to indicate the occurrence of the digestion of fats in experiment A. Egg whites was used as the substrate for the enzymes in experiment B. The pH was adjusted to drops of

    investigating how the rate of reaction differs when we change the concentration of Hydrochloric Acid whilst reacting with Magnesium. The rate of reaction is explained by the Collision Theory. This theory explains how various factors affect the reaction rates and how chemical reactions occur. The 4 factors of the Collision Theory are: • Temperature • Concentration • Surface area • Catalyst I am investigating how different concentrations of acids affect the rate of reaction. However I must control

    experiment to investigate how the concentration of an acid affects the rate of the reaction. I have set up the experiment’s equipment as shown on figure 1. As you can see by figure 1‚ I have used the reaction between sodium thisoulphate solution and hydrochloric acid (HCL) to come up with results that will help me draw conclusions regarding the effects of the concentration of the acid. I decided to use this particular reaction due to the fact that the product of the reaction between sodium thisoulphate

    Concentration vs Rate of reaction Brandon Introduction A reaction rate is the speed at which a chemical reaction will occur. Heat‚ concentration of a chemical‚ Surface area or a catalyst‚ will affect the rate of reaction. The concentration of a chemical will speed up of the reaction because the reactant particles have become more crowded therefore increasing the chance of productive collisions. In this practical the chemicals will be Sodium thiosulphate and Hydrochloric acid which will produce
