The data from the experiment demonstrates that the catalase enzyme breaks down the hydrogen peroxide due to its harmful toxicity to the liver. In section A‚ the effect surface area has on the enzyme was tested. The results have proven that as the surface area increases‚ the reaction rate of the enzyme also increases. To illustrate‚ when the liver was ground‚ the bubbles from the reaction reached a maximum height of 150mm in five seconds less than the unground liver which merely reached a maximum

solution has an extreme acidic pH level like 1 or 2. As a result‚ I speculate the supreme acidity of the solution could negatively affect the pH measurer that could make it lose the originality to measure the right pH level for later product. Hence‚ it is crucial to have the pH measurer calibrated in a buffer solution so that the measurement can have a high accuracy overall. Thirdly‚ when measuring the enthalpy change for the solution‚ it is suggested to measure the temperature of the ascorbic acid solution

DISCUSSION: Bromelian added to Gelatin: Bromelian is an enzyme found in pineapples. When Bromelian is added to gelatin it breaks down the protein and does not allow the gelatin to solidify. There are several factors that can cause an enzyme to slow down or to completely stop reacting. For example‚ temperature and pH can effect enzyme activity. Canned pineapple juice and fresh pineapple juice were used to see how the enzyme would react differently. In fresh pineapple juice the Bromelian have would

Enzymes are generally protein macromolecules that act as catalysts in metabolic reactions. A catalyst is a chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by the reaction. Enzymes speed up metabolic reaction rates by lowering the activation energy barrier‚ which is the amount of energy initially needed to spark a reaction. It allows reactant molecules to absorb enough energy to break bonds and react without raising the temperature to an extreme. During this process the substrate

Enzyme Activity Lab Hypothesis: 1] Are enzymes reusable? Yes‚ enzymes are reusable. 2] Which of the following do you think contain catalase? [Manganese dioxide‚ chicken meat‚ apple‚ carrot‚ potato‚ or chicken liver] I think that the manganese dioxide‚ apple‚ and carrot contain the catalase. 3] Would grinding the materials affect enzyme activity? I think that grinding the materials will increase enzyme activity. 4] Would temperature affect enzyme activity? I think that

Lab on pH Levels Purpose: Throughout this experiment we are trying to learn how to take proper pH measurements using a pH meter. We also want to see the pH of different common liquids and record the change in pH when we add acids and alkaline liquids. The last reason we are conducting this experiment is to explain and show how fresh milk spoils by the change in pH. Materials: In this experiment we used graduated cylinders and glass beakers and added variety of ingredients including 50 mL of; soda

Distinction of pH levels of Orange Juice and Milk of Magnesia in comparison to Distilled Water Cooper‚ A.‚ Do‚ J.‚ Francois‚ F.‚ Olaleye‚ O. Lab Section LA: 06/20/2012 Introduction pH is the measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a certain solution. Solutions or substances that have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions are considered acidic on the pH scale. Therefore‚ a solution with low concentration of hydrogen ions is basic on the pH scale. The pH scale is a universal means

The relatively close pH levels of Tap Water‚ Spring Water‚ Flavored Water‚ and Seltzer Water. Introduction This experiment was performed to investigate the following hypothesis: The following four different types of drinking water (spring water‚ seltzer water‚ tap water‚ and flavored water) we test will relatively have the same pH level. Our group decided to test different types of drinking water to see if a pH level of tap water is comparable to other types of water. Many people believe

The Effect of Increasing Temperatures on the Enzyme Catalase Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions inside your body and without enzymes‚ chemicals reactions in cells would be incredibly slow to a point where no activity at all takes place (Brawo press Inc‚ 2017). Enzymes speed up the chemical reactions by lowering the activations energy and they do this by binding substrates together in the correct orientation to react (Ernest Z‚ 2014). They are vital for life and serve a
