    that the enzyme concentration will affect the rate of reaction but only up until a certain point because there is a limited supply of substrate. Enzymes are protein molecule that acts as biological catalyst by increasing the rate of reactions without changing the overall process. They are long chain amino acids bound together by peptide bonds. Enzymes are seen in all living cells and controlling the metabolic processes in which they converted nutrients into energy and new cells. Enzymes also help

    THE RATE OF ENZYME ACTIVITY. To investigate the effect that temperature has on enzyme activity I am going to use the enzyme amylase‚ which is used as a biological catalyst to break down starch‚ which cannot pass through the gut wall due to the size of the molecules‚ into smaller ones. Amylase is a carbohydrase‚ which converts starch to simple sugars in the Salivary Glands. Three features of all enzymes are: They are always proteins. They are specific in their actions and each enzyme controls one

    Enzymes are biological molecules‚ or proteins‚ that act as catalysts. Enzymes help complex reactions so that they may occur everywhere in life. For example‚ when you eat meat‚ the proteases work to help break down the peptide bonds that occur among the amino acids. Enzymes usually work to complete one specific job which makes them specific catalysts. They also won’t be found all over the body‚ enzymes are found in neural cells‚ intestinal cells‚ and saliva. Enzymes are among the many organic macromolecules

    in these reactions‚ resource‚ products and enzyme are three most mainly things. In all chemical reactions‚ there is a activation energy(EA) needed for them. However‚ if the rate of reactions are too low‚ they will not be able to sustain lives. In this case‚ they have enzyme as a protein catalyst. As reaction catalysts‚ enzymes are proteins that adjust the process by initiating the reaction. In this case‚ there are also many elements that influence enzyme working rates. For example‚ most living things

    AIM The aim of this investigation is to explore the effect of different concentrations of bile salts on the time taken for the lipase enzyme to break down fat. BILE Bile is a brownish bitter alkaline fluid produced by the liver and made by the hepatocytes from water‚ bile salts‚ bile pigments cholesterol and phospholipids and stored in the gall bladder. Bile is directly connected with digestion. It is released sporadically into the small intestine (duodenum) which is part of the gut in order

    temperature on enzyme action An enzyme is a biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of reaction in certain biological functions. They play a vital role in many aspects of human physiology and are necessary for the functioning of a number of systems‚ for example in the digestive system to help to break down food. All enzymes have a unique active site that can fit on to a particular molecular arrangement on a target substrate; a substance e.g. carbohydrate‚ protein‚ or fat‚ that the enzyme is designed

    Yusuf Egal Mrs. Park English IV-4th Period 10 September 2012 Name and Identity The importance of name and identity in this novel is far more drastic than a reader could understand. A name has so much meaning that many people are not able to fathom it. A simple name change does not alter the fabric of a person. The changing of a name symbolizes the double identity of Gogol. In Lahiri’s novel‚ the main character fights an identity crisis because of his highly unusual name. Gogol struggles between

    Jennifer Anatomy and Physiology Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The chemical reaction that is being studied is the hydrolysis of starch. The enzyme that is being studied is amylase. This experiment is looking at the effect of temperature on the rate of the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. My hypothesis is that the higher the temperature the faster the hydrolysis of the starch would occur. The rationale behind this is that heat
