The scientific Method 1. Scientific Method- scientific investigation involving the observation of phenomena‚ the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena‚ experimentation to demonstrate the truth or falseness of the hypothesis‚ and result that validates or modify the hypothesis. Mechanist- Has belief that only natural forces govern living things‚ along with the rest of the universe. Vitalist- believes that the universe is at least partially governed by supernatural powers.

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

The milgram experiment. The three people involved were: the one running the experiment‚ the subject of the experiment a volunteer‚ and a person pretending to be a volunteer. These three persons fill three distinct roles: the Experimenter an authoritative role‚ the Teacher a role intended to obey the orders of the Experimenter‚ and the Learner the recipient of stimulus from the Teacher. The subject and the actor both drew slips of paper to determine their roles‚ but unknown to the subject‚ both slips

Exploring Enzymes - Ground-Up Tissue Activity Abstract Our experiment looked at how increasing the surface area of a substance affects the amount of bubbles created due to the presence of the enzyme catalase. The experiment used two pieces of fish‚ one whole and one ground up‚ which were then covered in hydrogen peroxide. This method allowed us to observe the catalase in ground up fish break down the hydrogen peroxide at a quicker rate than in the piece of fish left intact. This was determined

Enzymes Reactions to Changes in Substrate and Inhibitors Benjamin J. Mora Coronado University of Texas Rio Grande Valley at Edinburgh Abstract Purpose for the experiments was to test the enzymes in various scenarios and see how changing this would affect the rate of reaction. The enzyme source used in the experiments was Turnip Extract. Concentrations of Turnip extract for activity 1 where o.5ml‚ 1.0ml‚ and 2.0 ml as for the rest of the activities 2 Through 4 stayed at a consistent concentration

color. Then in order to find the remaining agents (peptide bonds) we used Biuret’s solution‚ a violet color is produced when there is a positive reaction. Where as a light blue color is produced in the negative reaction. The overall goal of this experiment is to find three of the four macromolecules (proteins‚ lipids‚ carbohydrates) that you can find in everyday living organism. These macromolecules are the chain like proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ and nucleic acid. These macromolecules are made of smaller

10.10.2012 Internal assessment on enzyme concentration Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts and they are the most important type of protein. My aim in this experiment was to investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of an enzyme (protease) – catalyzed reaction ‚ catalysts speed up chemical reactions . My hypothesis is that the rate as reaction will increase as the

Lab #5-Enzymes NAME DATE LAB PERIOD Introduction Enzymes are proteins‚ though highly complex and diverse‚ they serve one basic function; to work as an organic catalyst. A catalyst‚ as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary‚ is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate ("Catalyst-Definition and more."). They function by reducing the activation energy‚ or energy required to start a reaction. The way enzymatic reaction works cannot be altered‚ but the

Enzyme Lab Using Jello INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are known as protein catalysts. The name protein catalyst suggests that most enzymes are made of proteins. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. (Giuseppe‚ M 2002‚ p.69). After a reaction has been catalyzed‚ the catalyst can be used again to catalyze the same reaction. Enzymes reduce the activation energy (minimal energy) it takes for a reaction to take place. Enzymes can either catabolize
