Enzymatic activities of bioactive washing powder Title: Investigation of the amalyse activity f bioactive washing powder Objective: To investigate the amalyse activity of the two brands of bioactive washing powder – “Super clean” and “Magic power”. Principal: Amalyse can catalyse the breakdown of starch into maltose. In this practical‚ solutions of the 2 washing powders will be filled into 2 identical wells on the starch agar plate separately. Starch will be broken down by the amylase disused

Essay on enzymes Biological washing powder Hee-Jun Park 8B We have used enzymes over many years to make many clothing and also foods or drinks‚ such as‚ drinks‚ bread‚ cheese‚ beer and wine. Even though‚ the first person that realized how to make these noticed nothing about enzymes. There are many types of enzymes existing to help our industrial life. And the difference of each enzyme is for us to do different things. The use of enzyme in industry has become very central in the modern domain. Enzymes

Investigating the effects of changing temperature on the activity of enzymes Background information: Renin is an enzyme that catalyses the coagulation of milk. It is found in the stomach of many animals and is used in making cheeses and junkets. It is found in the gastric juices or gastric mucosa of many mammals‚ including humans. In the human stomach‚ particularly those of infants‚ rennin works to curdle milk so that pepsin‚ another stomach enzyme‚ can further breakdown the proteins into absorbable amino

The experimental results were different from the hypothesis because while the enzyme appeared to not work as well‚ I expected a more significant change. Most of the time‚ there was only a millimeter of difference of the foam between the two samples while I expected a greater difference such as 10 millimeters. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions and at the active site‚ a substrate can be broken down or two substrates can form a larger molecule. Hydrogen peroxide is broken down by peroxidase into water

Introduction: Enzymes are a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to activate a specific reaction. The purpose of this experiment was to figure out if the temperature of the reaction would rise‚ will the absorption rise as well. Reactions use energy‚ If there is energy than heat occurs. The Hypothesis that was figured out was‚ If the temperature rises‚ then the absorption will also go up. The Independent variable that was tested was temperature. The dependent variable that

Biology Digestive Enzyme Experiment “Design an experiment in which you will investigate a digestive enzyme’s effect on digestion” Research Question: To determine the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of digestion. This will be done by increasing the concentration of the enzyme diastase and investigate its effect on the rate of starch digestion. The rate will be determined by the amount of time it takes to completely digest the powdered starch‚ the complete digestion will be indicated by

produced by the enzyme will decrease because the enzyme will become denatured. Variables: The Independent variable is the pH of the environment. The uncertainty of pH is ± 1. pH is a unitless value. The Dependent variable is the number of products produced. The uncertainty of this this measurement is ± 1 product. In order for this experiment to be controlled‚ many variable were identified and held constant. If these variables were not to be held constant than the findings of this experiment would be meaningless

Simple Experiments on the Enzyme Catalase Aim: The aim of this practical is to use three different techniques to investigate the effect of different concentrations of the enzyme catalase on the rate of breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. Background information Catalase is an enzyme which is found in all living organisms. This enzyme catalases the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Cells continually produce a poisonous by-product of metabolising‚ called hydrogen peroxide. This

For this experiment‚ we started off by taking tubes numbered 1-4 and started adding one scoop of our enzyme catalyst‚ in this case‚ the yeast. We then proceeded to measure and add 1 mL of distilled water to test tubes A-D. To get a more accurate measure of 1 mL of distilled water‚ we used the dropper labeled “W” to drop distilled water into the 5 mL graduated cylinder until we saw that the bottom of the water line reached closely to 1 mL. Next‚ we took the four tubes with the scoop of yeast and

What is Enzyme? Enzymes are protein that acts as speed up reactions and break down molecules in our body. However‚ different enzymes only work on certain types of molecules. Enzymes can accelerate the reactions by more than one million times.(3) In our human body‚ there are a total about forty thousand types of enzymes and each catalyzes different kind of molecule.(3) The molecules that enzymes help to accelerate is called substrates‚ and when enzyme is combined together with the substrate‚ it
