can affect the optimum operation of enzymes. These condition include temperature‚ enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration‚ acidity‚ salinity‚ and any present activators/inhibitors. In this particular lab‚ temperature was the environmental factor studied. More specifically‚ the enzyme catalase and its substrate hydrogen peroxide were tested under different temperatures. It was discovered that‚ temperature can affect the optimum operation of enzymes; The enzyme catalase has an optimum operation

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to see how the colour of an apple would change (browning) over time‚ when placed in different conditions. When referring to the term “browning”‚ it is meant to imply the change of colour that occurs inside the apple‚ giving an appearance that is distasteful (Di Guardo et al.‚ 2013). Specifically‚ within this lab the apple was cut into 4 pieces with 3 pieces being placed on a weigh boat‚ and a 4th piece placed in a beaker of water. These weigh boats were

Enzyme Lab Write-Up Purpose: To observe how an enzyme affect the speed of chemical reaction. To describe how the concentration of an enzyme affects its ability to work. Hypothesis: Depending on the concentration of the catalase which the disk is soaked in‚ it will have a direct correlation on the rate of hydrogen peroxide being broken down into oxygen gas. Prediction: Since the rate of reaction can be lowered by the addition of catalysis such as an enzyme. Moreover to

An enzyme is a tertiary globular protein. The function of an enzyme is to lower the activation energy of either the creation or breaking apart of a chemical bond. By lowering the activation energy of this process‚ the reaction of bonding‚ or in this case breaking apart‚ is sped up. An enzyme breaks apart the substrate in the active site of the enzyme; this is where the magic happens. Substrate is what is being broken apart by the enzyme. In this case‚ the enzyme is catalase and the substrate is hydrogen

Part I - Introduction Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts to regulate metabolism by selectively speeding up chemical reactions in the cell without being consumed during the process. During the catalytic action‚ the enzyme binds to the substrate – the reactant enzyme acts on – and forms an enzyme-substrate complex to convert the substrate into the product. Each type of enzyme combines with its specific substrate‚ which is recognized by the shape. In the enzymatic reaction‚ the initial rate

Alhia Harris October 18‚ 2011 Biology Lab report Proteins are very important throughout the body. They have a lot of functions in cells. Antibodies are proteins that help cells rebuild the cells when they are destroyed. Transport proteins move substances from one place to another. Regulatory proteins control cellular metabolism in a way that cells throughout the body can have the right amount of glucose in the blood. A common protein is an enzyme; in cells they speed up chemical reactions. For
