Effects of Enzyme Catalysis of H2O2 by Catalase Report by: Timmy Lin (#269164729) October 17‚ 2011 Mr. Rienzi AP Biology Problem: Measuring the effects of Catalase enzymes on hydrogen peroxide decomposition. Measuring the rate of the reaction when hydrogen peroxide and Catalase are mixed at the same ratio for different time (10‚ 20 30 60 120 180 360 seconds). Background: Enzymes are biological catalysts that carry out cellular metabolic processes with the ability to enhance the rate

of reaction was much slower‚ and less efficient. The higher the oxygen evolved (gas produced)‚ the more reactions were being produced/higher rate of reaction. Different types of enzymes’ reaction proportions differ based on the pH being added. For example‚ intestinal enzymes may react differently to pH than liver enzymes (catalase) which was tested. The hypothesis was proved to be correct due the rate of reaction increasing as the pH levels got more basic. Based on Graph 1‚ the slope of the pH

Catecholase-Catalyzed Reaction Abstract This paper describes an experiment to determine ……………. Introduction Enzymes are made from proteins. They are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. Enzymes are precise and catalyze only detailed reaction. Specificity is an outcome of active site of enzyme that acts on the substrate. Catecholase‚ which catalyzes a reaction in which catechol‚ then catechol becomes the product

Task 4 Christopher Mann Student ID: 000458585 June 5‚ 2015 Enzymes are special proteins that carry out chemical reactions‚ also known as catalysts. Two important features that make all enzymes catalysts are their ability to bind to a substrate. A substrate is anything that needs to be changed into something else. The second important feature is that it works to lower the activation energy without being used or changed in the reaction (Hudon-Miller‚ 2012. The breakdown of
