The effect of increasing substrate concentration on rate of an enzyme reaction. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower a reactions activation energy making possible many of the reactions needed for life to exist. Enzymes have a high specificity which have been explained by many theories such as Fischer’s lock and key. Currently the most widely accepted theory is the induced fit hypothesis proposed by Koshland in 1958. This hypothesis solves some of the problems with the Lock and key theory

The history behind Auschwitz Concentration Camp Did you know that Auschwitz Concentration Camp was the largest camp to be set up by Nazi Germany? Auschwitz was the most notorious camp in Poland. “ As Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel warned years ago‚ to forget a holocaust is to kill twice.” What kind of treatment was used in the camp? Who were the leaders of this camp? Where did the people in this camp come from? Many people lost their lives to this labor camp. Auschwitz was a very brutal and harsh place

doing‚ these are the factors I could change: * The concentration of the enzyme * Increase the temperature * Increase the PH I have chosen to investigate how the concentration of the enzyme affects the rate of reaction. I expect that the more concentrated the enzyme the faster the reaction time will be. Changing the concentration of the enzyme will affect the rate of the reaction. I predict that as we increase the concentration of the enzyme the faster the rate of reaction will be

"Do different concentrations of solutions determine the mass of a potato?" Introduction: The way to get the full results of this lab was through the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane into a more concentrated solution to reach an equilibrium. When regarding cells osmosis has three different terms that are used to describe their concentration. The first of these words is isotonic. Cells in an isotonic solution show that the water has no net movement and the amount

Direction and Concentration Gradients Experiment 1. For each of the bags‚ identify whether the solution inside was hypertonic‚ hypotonic or isotonic in comparison to the beaker solution it was placed in. Bag #1’s solution was hypotonic compared to the solution of beaker #2. Bag #2’s solution was also hypotonic compared to the solution of beaker #2. Bag #3’s solution was isotonic compared to the solution of beaker #2 and Bag #4’s solution was hypertonic compared to the solution of beaker

Investigation Aim: The aim of the investigation was to investigate the effect of substrate concentration Hydrogen Peroxide H O (in %) on the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase (in 1/mean time). Prediction: As the substrate concentration (hydrogen peroxide) in % increases the rate of reaction in 1/mean rate increases until the solution becomes saturated with the substrate hydrogen peroxide. When this saturation point is reached‚ then adding extra substrate will make no difference. The

Evaluation Like any experiment‚ there were a number of potential errors during the procedure of the experiment. Errors could have arisen as a result of the uncertainties associated with the instruments I used to take measurements‚ and also as a result of errors associated with the actual method. Of course‚ due to the limitations of the procedure‚ they could not be eliminated completely‚ so I will explain what I did to reduce them to an acceptable level and how I could have improved my method to

Practical report: Determination of concentration using a standard curve Introduction Spectrophotometer is an instrument that confirms the measurement of specified wavelength of light that passes through medium. The measurement of light absorbance by a solution is also done with spectrophometer. Absorption spectrum Spectrometers are mainly and widely functional in identifying the components of solutions that helps determine the components’ concentrations. Compounds are experimentally identified

To What Extent does the Sugar Concentration of Water Affects Its Refractive Index? 1. Introduction 1.1 Background Why do object when placed in a bucket of water bend? This is not magic but it is a property of light known as refraction. The bending of light when it travels from one medium to another is known as refraction. Different mediums have different densities and density is defined as the amount of mass per unit volume. The higher the density‚ the higher is the
