bleaches. Now bleach - in scientific terms - is a kind of catalyst. A catalyst is a chemical that increases the reaction rate of a chemical reaction (catalyse)‚ and the chemical reaction involves enzymes. So to understand how bleach works‚ we first understand how enzymes work. Enzymes Enzymes are the most important thing in our lives‚ it makes the world go ‘round! Enzymes are proteins that acts as catalysts and help combine or break down hydrogen peroxide. Imagine a pen with ink inside

PUTTING IT TOGETHER: Classifying Chemical Reactions Purpose: To observe and differentiate between the four different types of chemical reactions. Variables: The independent variables are the sodium chloride‚ sodium carbonate‚ magnesium‚copper‚ copper (11) sulfate‚ silver nitrate‚ oxygen‚ lead(11) nitrate‚ sodium carbonate‚ copper (11) sulfate pentahydrate. The dependent variables are the chemical reactions that are being looked for. For example decomposition‚ synthesis‚ single displacement or double

substrate concentration on the activity of the enzyme catalase The aim of this experiment is to examine how the concentration of a substrate (hydrogen peroxide) affects the rate of reaction of an enzyme catalyse (found in liver cells) Research Question: how does changing the concentration of the substrate affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse? Hypothesis: As the concentration of the substrate increases‚ so does the rate of reaction until the reaction reaches a maximum rate. Also‚ as the concentration

THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CATALASE RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the effect of various temperatures‚ 0°C‚ room temperature‚ 37°C‚ 50°C‚ 60°C‚ on the number of oxygen gas bubbles liberated‚ in a decomposition reaction between the enzyme Catalase‚ obtained from crushed mung beans‚ and 2% of the substrate Hydrogen Peroxide? INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions without they themselves being involved in the reaction itself. Enzymes are proteins

+CO2 (g) In this experiment‚ I am going to see if temperature affects the reaction rate between marble chips and hydrochloric acid by timing the release of carbon dioxide in the reaction. I predict the higher the temperature‚ the faster the reaction rate. This is due to the kinetic theory. The more heat that is given to matter‚ the faster the particles move. This happens in the acid‚ so the faster the particles move‚ the faster the reaction rate due to more collisions between the marble chips

Potato Enzyme Lab Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up chemical reaction in living organisms. The purpose of this lab was to; observe the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide toxin by potato’s enzyme catalase‚ determine factors that influence how quickly the reaction takes place‚ and determine factors that influence how well enzymes function. The first test‚ we were supposed to see what would happen when we add sand in hydrogen peroxide. We filled a test tube with 5mL hydrogen peroxide and we added

Title: Catalase enzyme detection Objective: To understand the function of catalase in cells that produce the enzyme‚ interpret the results of a catalase test and know their value in differentiating bacteria. Materials: 1 clean microscopic slide‚ 3% H2O2 solution‚ swabs. Micrococcus luteus‚ Enterococcus faecalis‚ patient G Procedure: 1) Scrape some cells off from each bateria to the slant and place them on glass slide. 2) Place one or two drops of H2O2. Watch for bubbling as an indication of

Explain the use of enzymes in food production by means of examples. You must include the example of lactase. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions (up to a million times) in living organisms. Acting as catalysts they are not consumed nor altered in the process of converting the specific set of reactants into specific products. In food production‚ enzymes are greatly appreciated by their accelerated effect in biochemical processes and are mostly used in what we

ENZYME COFACTORS AND INHIBITORS 1. DESCRIBE THE GENERAL ROLE OF COFACTORS IN ENZYME ACTIVITY. Some chemicals enhance an enzyme’s activity‚ which is what cofactors function to do. They are a non-protein component of an enzyme and may be organic molecules (called coenzymes) or inorganic ions. 2. (A) NAME FOUR HEAVY METALS THAT ARE TOXIC TO HUMANS. Four heavy metals that are toxic to humans are: 1. Cadmium (Cd) 2. Lead (Pb) 3. Mercury (Hg) 4. Arsenic (As) (B) EXPLAIN IN GENERAL TERMS WHY THESE
