experiment was to find out how temperature affects the enzymes activity. For example‚ in Humans if the temperature is too high‚ the individual’s brain enzymes can denature and cause life threatening problems. The opposite can occur as well‚ if the temperature is too low‚ hypothermia can occur and it can be dangerous (Wilson‚ 1996). In the experiment optimal conditions for fungal and bacterial amylase was measured as well. Discovering information‚ such as the optimal temperature‚ can help demonstrate the

effects of temperature on catalase activity. Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts and help complex reactions to occur everywhere in life. Enzymes affect a chemical reaction by acting as a catalyst‚ which is to say‚ it speeds up the reaction. However‚ extreme ph and temperature hinders enzyme function. Optimal activity of an enzyme is the optimal environment that an enzyme requires to function‚ which means having the optimum ph and temperature to catalyze a reaction at a rapid

Potato Enzyme Lab INTRODUCTION An enzyme is a protein that speeds up or slows down a specific chemical reaction in an organism. A good rule of thumb is to remember that enzyme names end in “-ase”. This will help in identifying enzymes in further readings. Generally enzymes are catalysts. Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic chemical that is produced in many organisms during metabolism. Organisms must get rid of this toxin to survive. One reaction turns the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The

the climate of a region is an important factor in determining which organisms can survive there. Even within a biome‚ precise conditions of temperature and precipitation can vary over small distances. Ecologists recognize at least ten different biomes. The world’s major biomes include tropical rain forest‚ tropical dry forest‚ tropical savanna‚ desert‚ temperature grassland‚ temperate woodland and shrub land‚ temperate forest‚ northwestern coniferous forest‚ boreal forest‚ and tundra. A unique set of

The effect temperature has on the activity of the enzyme α- amylase. Introduction Enzymes are a biological catalysts‚ which means that they speed up the chemical reactions in living organisms. Almost all of enzymes are energized protein molecules that catalyse and regulate nearly all biochemical reactions that occur within the human body. The reason in which enzymes are sensitive to heat‚ pH and heavy metal ions is because they are made up of proteins. The food we eat is turned into energy by enzymes

Each enzyme has it optimum temperature range at which it functions at an optimum efficiency. In this experiment‚ Rennin might have an optimum temperature of 37 degrees Celsius as it is found in the stomachs of young mammals. As the temperature is increased‚ the rate of reaction (time for milk to curdle) will also increase until the optimum temperature is reached (37 degrees). After reaching this set point‚ the activity of the enzyme will gradually begin to decrease and the rate of reaction will

data. As evident in the table‚ the 10oC temperature is very accurate as the range was 0‚ resulting in an error percentage of 0%. However‚ the 35oC temperature had a no clear skew of results as indicated through the range‚ 14 and the error percentage‚ 161.47%‚ suggesting that the trials at this temperature were not very accurate as they were largely inconsistent. The 50oC also proved to have inaccuracies‚ however‚ not as significant as the previous temperature‚

Enzymes and ATP Enzymes act as protein catalysts in biochemical processes Enzymes bind to a substrate and forms the enzyme substrate complex. Enzymes work by lowering the energy of activation. Activation energy must be supplied for the reaction to begin‚ once supplied‚ the reaction can proceed on its own. Enzymes can speed up events. They are not used by during the reaction because the enzyme stays the same‚ it does not change during the reaction. (Hudon-Miller‚ Enzymes‚ 2013) Enzymes act as
