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

amino acid polymers. The necessity of proteins for life is unequivocal‚ not only do they help to form the structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell and is named according to the substrate they specifically affect. An enzyme works best under optimal conditions pertaining to temperature

A business is an organization or economic system where goods and services are exchanged for one another or for money. Every business requires some form of investment and enough customers to whom its output can be sold on a consistent basis in order to make a profit. Businesses can be privately owned‚ not-for-profit or state-owned. Business also can have a number of different types of owner depending on the aims and objectives of the owners. There are different types of Business organization

A research survey was carried out to investigate the comparisons and highlight the differences between a large shopping complex and a smaller shopping centre. Research was conducted on Westfield Shopping Centre (Parramatta Westfield) and Plumpton Market Place. Data and multitudes of information were collected through primary research and this will be presented in this report under various subheadings. This research was done individually.

Enzyme Lab 6 03/13/2013 Report by Mary Jo Anthony I. Introduction II. Materials and Methods III. Results IV. Conclusion and Discussion Introduction Background Information: This lab allowed us to study chemical reactions and how catalysts will affect the rate of these reactions. The reaction we studied is the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen and it is vital to life. The molecule hydrogen peroxide is a molecule that is toxic

Enzymes are biological catalysts that operate at the temperatures‚ pressures‚ and moderate pH values found in living organisms. They help in a faster chemical reaction in our human body. Besides this‚ enzymes also play a huge role in various industries. The following paragraphs will talk about how various enzymes are used in various industries : The Dairy Industry and Medical Industry. In the dairy industry‚ the enzyme Protease is used widely. While making cheese‚ protease helps coagulate milk

____________________ Immobilizing an enzyme provides various analytical benefits‚ and can be done in a myriad of ways‚ with the most common being entrapment. For this study peroxidase (from horseradish)‚ an enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of hydrogen peroxide into water‚ was entrapped within a polyacrylamide gel matrix. The gel matrix was formed by the addition of methylene bis-acrylamide (a cross linking agent) to acrylamide. The immobilized enzyme was then tested via spectrophotometric assay

Enzyme Reaction to Variable Elizabeth Alvidrez University of Texas at El Paso Abstract: An enzyme is a protein that serves as a biological catalyst (Denniston‚ 2007). Metabolic reactions happen with in cells. Enzymes are proteins that are used to speed up these reactions without being consumed by them (Mader‚ 2010). Catalase is a catalyst that digests potent hydrogen peroxide and converts it into H2O and O (Campbell Reese‚ 2008). The environment plays an important role
