Enzyme Activity How does temperature affect enzyme activity? In this practical investigation‚ my aim is to discover how temperature will affect enzyme activity‚ by looking at the rate of reaction. I predict that the higher the temperature will be‚ the faster the reactions take place. However‚ I also think that there will be an optimum temperature‚ at which the reaction will work at its fastest; if the temperature goes beyond that‚ the reactions will stop altogether as the enzymes would have

Enzyme Activity Over Different Concentrations and Effects The goals of this experiment were to examine the effectively of enzymes on samples of different enzyme concentrations and substrate concentrations. In addition‚ the experiment tested how effective enzymes are on samples of pH levels and temperature levels. A. Effect of Enzyme Concentration Hypothesis: With half as much enzyme concentration then the reaction rate will be half as much than when the enzyme concentration is equal

affecting Enzyme Activity: The effect of pH on enzyme activity Background Knowledge: An enzyme is a biological catalyst – which speeds up the reaction rate‚ without itself getting altered. Enzymes are proteins with long polypeptide chains that are folded up into three – dimensional shapes. An enzyme acts on a substrate to convert the substrate into a product useful for the organism.The active site is a special region on the surface of the enzyme where the substrate binds to the enzyme.

KINETIC ENERGY Objects have energy because of their motion; this energy is called kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of the objects having mass m and velocity v can be calculated with the formula given below; K=1/2mv² Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity; it does not have a direction. Unlike velocity‚ acceleration‚ force‚ and momentum‚ the kinetic energy of an object is completely described by magnitude alone. Like work and potential energy‚ the standard metric unit of measurement for kinetic energy

Kinetic Energy: Consider a baseball flying through the air. The ball is said to have "kinetic energy" by virtue of the fact that its in motion relative to the ground. You can see that it is has energy because it can do "work" on an object on the ground if it collides with it (either by pushing on it and/or damaging it during the collision). The formula for Kinetic energy‚ and for some of the other forms of energy described in this section will‚ is given in a later section of this primer. Potential

Concentration On The Activity Of The Enzyme Catalase A Level Biology Project Aims This is an experiment to examine how the concentration of the substrate hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase. Background Information Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction. Catalase is an enzyme found in food

two Title: Enzyme Function Purpose: To observe the role of enzymes in chemical reactions and to determine the kinds of cells that contain more of the enzyme catalase. Prior Knowledge: Enzymes are proteins that assist the chemical reactions of a cell by lowering the amount of activation energy needed to start the reactions‚ thereby enabling the cell to carry out the reactions at a faster rate; enzymes that lower the activation energy are therefore called catalysts. Moreover‚ the enzyme itself is

QUESTIONS 1. What are other sources of glycogen? Of starch? a. Other sources of glycogen- Aside from the liver‚ it can also be found in skeletal muscles (for energy during strenuous exercise). It also occurs in tissues including adipose tissues‚ heart muscles‚ kidneys and the brain. It is also found in yeast‚ bacteria‚ fungi‚ molds and algae‚ oysters‚ and shellfish. b. Other sources of starch- Foods that are high in starch include breads‚ grains‚ cereals‚ pasta‚ rice‚ potatoes‚ peas
