Ayaan Nadeem SBI 4UO-A Tuesday‚ February 27‚ 2013 Ms. Balmer Pineapple Jelly Enzyme Lab Discussion After completing the Pineapple Jell-O Enzyme lab‚ the final results were that the canned pineapple formed the jelly while the fresh pineapple did not. Pineapple In order for this to have occurred‚ there has to be a comparison between fresh and canned pineapple in terms of their physical and chemical properties. The physical properties of fresh pineapple are that it is sweet‚ ripe and raw.

Principles of Biology Lab Exercise Enzymes: Catalysts of Life Instructor: Professor Alcendor By Shahid Rana Date: March 7th‚ 2013 Abstract: In this experiment we have demonstrated the function of enzymes. The whole experiment was devoted to understand how enzymes work as a catalysts and increase the chemical reaction without being used themselves. In general‚ enzymes are proteins that function as biological catalysts. These enzymes adhere to lower to amount of energy required for

Research Report Introduction: The scientific principle that governs this kind of experiment was Combustion Reaction. It is a reaction that another element or compound reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light. It is a reaction that requires oxygen. My objective in doing this experiment is to determine the effect of the height of the candle on the length of its burning time. The existing problem is Suffocation. Research Problem: What is the effect of height of the candle on

Enzymes are biological catalysts and each individual enzyme can only catalyse to one type of reaction – due to its specific shape. Each individual enzyme has its own specific shape which is determined by the amino acid sequence that it is made up of – each enzyme’s active site matches to its unique substrate molecule. For the sake of our experiment – enzymes catalyse reactions because they become an active site for reactions to take place. This lowers the energy that is needed for the reaction but

Aim: To find the effect of temperature on enzymes‚ using a potato as a catalyst. The source of catalase is in the potato cells. 2H2O2 → O2 + H2O Planning: Introduction: An Enzyme is any one of many specialised organic substances‚ composed of polymers of amino acids‚ that act as catalysts to regulate the speed of the many chemical reactions involved in the metabolism of living organisms Enzymes are classified into several broad categories‚ such as hydrolytic‚ oxidising‚ and reducing‚ depending

How Enzymes Work In Different Environments By Sarah Smith Biology1111 October 20‚ 2011 Lab Partner: Nellie Greer ABSTRACT Peroxidase is an enzyme found in potatoes that catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide‚ H2O2‚ into O2 gas and water. We examined the different pH environments that can affect the enzyme activity during the breakdown of H2O2. In order to do this‚ we added different levels of pH‚ low‚ medium‚ and high‚ into different test tubes with the enzyme and H2O2‚

Enzymes lower the activation energy of chemical reactions but they themselves are not consumed or altered when doing so. These catalysts work best at optimum temperatures and pH’s. The temperature and pH at which the reaction occurs the quickest is the ideal condition for the enzymatic reaction. Alpha amylase converts starch into glucose and when starch is combined with I2KI indicator a dark purple solution forms. As the enzyme breaks down the starch the absorbency will decrease. The absorbency

of all three trials. Heat tends to increase the rate of chemical reactions‚ explained in the article Temperature Effects (Introduction to Enzymes) by Chris Jamison. “Like most chemical reactions‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases as the temperature is raised. A ten degree rise in temperature will increase the activity of most enzymes by 50 to 100% . Variations in reaction temperature as small as 1 or 2 degrees
