The Affects of pH on Peroxidase Enzyme Claire Bell Biology 1130 Jazmen Myers Section 36 Abstract Peroxidase is a turnip enzyme; it is used in the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide to lower activation energy‚ speeding up the reaction. The activity of peroxidase is highly dependent on its environment and most importantly the pH level. Peroxidase has been the focus of many recent studies and is believed to possibly reduce swelling among other things. We conducted an experiment testing

The Effect of Enzymes on Apple Juice Production Biology Period 6 Background Info The purpose of this experiment was to determine which enzyme or the combination of the two enzymes makes the most apple juice from applesauce. We did his by‚ mixing 10 drops of an enzyme (cellulose/pectinase/both) into a few tablespoons of applesauce. We then left the rest to nature‚ and watched the liquid funnel out for 10 minutes. Lastly‚ we recorded our data. The cell wall is a complicated

Cells are the structural and functional units of all living organisms; each specialised to perform dedicated duties throughout their life span. All living organisms can be sorted into one of two groups depending on the fundamental structure of their cells. These two groups are the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes. A Prokaryote cell is the first form of cells for many millions of years until the eukaryote cell evolved from the prokaryote cell‚ which created life. Prokaryote cells are organisms made

from 0.93-1.04 grams from the solutions containing AgNO3 (Table 1). Graph one depicts the correlation of percent change in weight for each sucrose concentration with AgNO3 added. The initial length of the potato cylinders were 2cm as depicted in table two. Graph two depicts the correlation of percent change in length in different sucrose concentrations. The initial weights for the solutions lacking AgNO3 ranged from 1.0-1.7grams (Table 3). Graph three displays the correlation for the percent change

Abstract: During the lab a better agent for absorbing Procion Red Dye was trying to be found. Using the different dilutions of a stock solution and a spectrophotometer an Absorbance vs. Concentration graph was created and using the trendline from that graph it was determined which agent‚ zeolite‚ magnetic zeolite‚ or charcoal were better at absorbing the dye. From the results collected it was found that charcoal was the best at absorbing the dye‚ when moles of dye per gram of agent used were calculated

RUNNING HEAD: Understanding Enzymes Understanding Enzymes Amanda Chung Blanche Ely High School Abstract The researcher conducted this experiment in order to investigate how various factors effected enzymes. Those factors were the concentration of the enzyme‚ the temperature it had to work in‚ and the pH level of the solutions as well. All three were hypothesized to speed up the rate at which the enzyme acted. A series of several tests were carried out to find the answer to each problem

INTRODUCTION OF ENZYMES Enzymes are complex proteins that cause a specific chemical change in all parts of the body (David C. Dugdale‚ 2011). When we understand enzymes we understand cells (Marshall Brian‚ 2001). In many organisms most chemical reactions are catalyzed -when a substance speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction- by enzymes. Each enzyme controls a certain function that happens in a cell. Still each one has its own process and rate that it converts molecules. Studying enzymes shows how chemical
