ENZYMES LABORATORY REPORT Introduction The utilization of any complex molecule for energy by an organism is dependent on a process called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis breaks complex molecules into simpler molecules using water. Similarly‚ the process that is the reverse of this is called dehydration synthesis‚ which removes water from simpler molecules. However‚ because hydrolysis occurs very slowly‚ living organisms use biochemical’s called enzymes to speed up the reaction. In this lab exercise

How to Wash and Dry Are you washing your car or just damaging the paint? Cleaning your car should be a weekly thing‚ not just when you feel that your car is getting dirty or is already dirty. The up keep of your car isn’t easy either. You have invested many money and time in your vehicle. Shampooing‚ drying‚ and waxing are very simple tasks that will make your car sparkle all year a round. When you are washing your car should always find a cool shady spot to clean under. Once you have chosen

Abstract The major objective of this experiment was to observe the effects of catalase under varying controlled conditions. The scope of this experiment includes Metabolic processes‚ such as cellular respiration‚ and it poisonous byproduct hydrogen peroxide. The methodology includes procedures; multiple variables were tested in specific concentrations; that test the reaction rates of the enzyme catalase over a fixed period of time. The major conclusion was that catalase reacts faster in warm temperatures

Enzymes are proteins or nucleic acids that catalyze reactions. They are able to speed up reactions by reducing the activation energy of a reaction. Each kind of enzyme has a specific shape that matches its substrate so it can bind to its active site. Enzymes convert their substrates into a product. Enzyme activity are affected by factors such as temperature‚ pH‚ and time. If an enzyme is exposed to extreme heat‚ it will become denatured‚ that is‚ to become deformed and lose its original shape which
Premium Enzyme Catalysis Chemical reaction
Enzymes are catalysts that are used to speed up chemical reactions. Adding inorganic catalysts to reactants increase the rate of most chemical reactions. However‚ all enzymes are different and there are numerous amounts. Many enzymes are essential for life and reactions would not happen rapidly to maintain life with the help of enzymes. Specific enzymes lower the activation energy for specific reactions and shapes. Activation energy is required to start a chemical reaction. This occurs when energy

Title: The Effect of Varying Amounts of Substrate and Enzyme on a Reaction Rate Abstract In living organisms‚ certain reactions must take place rapidly to assist life. This occurs because of enzymes‚ because all reactions would take place too slowly to sustain life (Jacklet‚ 237). Enzymes are large protein molecules that catalyze specific chemical reactions without being used up in the process. Each enzyme has a region on its surface‚ called the active site‚ which recognizes a specific

In the past protein powder has been the main product of choice of bodybuilders and other weightlifters who spend all of their time in the gym with the goal of becoming as strong and muscular as they can. But‚ in the past years‚ many other athletes and people have discovered the many benefits that protein powders have‚ causing the popularity of this product to increase rapidly. Many studies have proven that using protein powder while performing a resistance exercise plan will increase overall muscular

This experiment was performed in order to analyze the effects of pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ and temperature on the catalytic rate on enzyme ALP. The initial experiment was done to approximate the optimum pH for the activity of the enzyme. The hypothesis was that alkaline phosphatase activity will be critically affected by pH effects. The hypothesis was valid because the data shows that the pH values for the acidic‚ basic‚ and neutral tubes increased over time‚ absorbing at similar rates. The basic
