FUNCTIONS OF ENZYMES Enzymes are extremely important to the human body and its ability to function. An enzyme itself is a protein made by the body’s cells to act as catalyst‚ speeding up chemical reactions in the cell. It does this by taking the reactants‚ or the elements or compounds that enter into the chemical reaction‚ in this situation referred to as substrates‚ and breaking apart their bonds so that new ones can form. The three types of enzymes are digestive enzymes‚ food enzymes‚ and metabolic

amount of tenderizer did not break down as much as the cup â»3 with the most tenderizer. Conclusion According to this lab it demonstrated that Jell-O does have protein since the enzymes in the meat tenderizer were able to break down the Jell-O and prevent it from setting. This data also shows that the amount of enzymes effects the breakdown of proteins since the cup with the least amount of meat tenderizer set better than the cup with the most amount of meat tenderizerizer CUP NUMBER OBSERVATIONS

Biofuel Enzyme Kit Katie Adamson Biochemistry Laboratory‚ BIO124L 1/29/15 Abstract The objective in this lab was to determine the effects different conditions had on the enzyme cellobiase. We examined reaction rates in the presence or absence of an enzyme‚ the effects temperature and pH changes on the enzyme and the effects enzyme concentration and substrate concentration had on the enzyme. As expected results showed us that cellobiase works optimally when conditions are favorable. We see this

Accounting Regulation in Corporate Governance will not necessarily lead to higher ethical standards. In recent years‚ professional ethics has been placed at the top of discussion‚ and a lot of developments have been brought about within the corporate governance. Duska and Duska claim that accounting is an essential professional practice‚ and the current global economy has no existence without it (2011). These two authors also argue that ethics is now a part and parcel of corporate governance.

however‚ without enzymes‚ these reactions could possibly take several years to complete. An enzyme is a macromolecule‚ generally a protein‚ that lowers the activation energy of a reaction without being changed by the reaction‚ and this causes the reaction to occur much faster than usual (Campbell et al.‚ 2014). The act of speeding of a chemical reaction is called catalysis‚ and molecules that perform this are called catalyst. Enzymes act as catalysts‚ and there a many types of enzymes that perform many
