Title: Enzyme Catalysis of Hydrogen Peroxide by Catalase Problem and Objectives: How do different temperatures and different levels of pH affect the reaction rate of the enzymes in chicken liver? Demonstrate the activity of an enzyme in living tissue‚ observe the effects of changes in temperature and pH on the activity of an enzyme‚ perform analyses for the presence of an enzyme in tissues‚ and analyzing relationships between environmental conditions and enzyme activity. Background: Cells produce

CHAPTER 4: ENZYMES Enzymes are biological catalysts. There are about 40‚000 different enzymes in human cells‚ each controlling a different chemical reaction. They increase the rate of reactions by a factor of between 106 to 1012 times‚ allowing the chemical reactions that make life possible to take place at normal temperatures. They were discovered in fermenting yeast in 1900 by Buchner‚ and the name enzyme means "in yeast". As well as catalysing all the metabolic reactions of cells (such as respiration

ABSTRACT: This lab allows us to observe the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen gas. An enzyme known as catalase facilitates this decomposition reaction. The catalase enzyme acts as catalysis‚ helping lower the energy needed to activate the reaction while the enzyme itself is not affected. Catalase is a digestive enzyme used to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a normal byproduct of cellular respiration. The reaction could take place without the help of catalase‚ but

I also hypnotized that the enzyme is acidic on the pH scale because it exists in our small intestine and our small intestine uses acid to break down food. The result from the lab prove my hypothesis correct because lactase worked well at body temperature and it also worked well at pH of 4.5 to 5.5 mg/dl proving that lactase works best at an acidic pH number. The lab shows that the highest amount of glucose is made by temperatures close to body temperature. In our our lab‚ we found that at 35 °C 500

amylase lab‚ it was being tested if amylase‚ an enzyme found in saliva‚ would be denatured by being put in an acid or high temperatures. This lab is about denaturing amylase. It is tested by exposing it to pH and temperature changes. It is then mixed with Benedict’s solution‚ is a solution that changes color from blue to reddish brown when maltose is present. Amylase breaks starch into maltose‚ so is the amylase isn’t denatured‚ it should change colors. Amylase is an enzyme. Enzymes are a type

Halobacterium Lab Investigation Mason Pirio 12/12/13 Period 5 Table Group 3 PS 2- Experiment Design PS 3- Conclusion Writing PS 13- Nitrogen Cycle Abstract- In this experiment we tested to see how well halobacterium grows in different levels of salinity. We found out that the higher salinity in the growth medium the better the halobacterium grows. Background Information- Halobacterium is a bacteria that is found in the great salt lake. Halobacterium is an extremeophile which means it thrives

Collecting Photosynthetic Rates in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) Introduction: The purpose of this study was to see which light color would cause the spinach sample to photosynthesize the most within the given time. In order to understand photosynthesis‚ we need to know that chloroplasts absorb light energy from the sun‚ the plant then takes that energy along with water and carbon dioxide and changes it to sugar and oxygen. This happens in order for the plants to grow. But‚ light energy comes in a
