The aim of this experiment was to replicate the Primacy effect‚ which investigates the effects of ascending and descending performances on attributions of intellectual ability‚ illustrating that individuals’ perception of another individual is influenced by their first impression of that person to the detriment of all subsequent impressions. The design included independent groups‚ and the 46 participants over 16 years old (25 males and 21 females) were chosen through convenience sampling. The latter

Enzymes Enzymes are… * Biological catalysts Lower the energy level needed for a biochemical reaction to occur. This energy level is called activation energy. * Proteins Polypeptide chains made up of 100’s-1000’s of amino acids in a specific sequence. * Do not get “used up” in a reaction The number of “uses” of an enzyme depends on the enzyme. * Work more efficiently at certain optimum temperatures. * They are “reaction-specific”. Each enzyme is included in one reaction.

structure of the enzyme is mainly dependent on the active site and variable groups. Extreme temperatures or extreme pHs can alter the structure of an enzyme. Enzymes function to lower the activation energy to break the bonds. They achieve this by putting stress and pressure on the bonds or creating a microenvironment for the substrate. Enzymes are regulated by inhibitors or activators and can be inhibited by the products of the reaction‚ called feedback inhibition. Enzymes are catalytic proteins;

‘Kinetics’ is the study of chemical reactions. The speed of a reaction can vary depending on many variables such as the nature of the reactants‚ particle size‚ concentration and temperature. For a chemical reaction to occur‚ there must be a collision between reactants. The reaction rate is slower when the reactants are large and complex molecules because it takes longer for the molecules to combine together creating a chemical reaction. More than 2000 years ago‚ Democritus‚ who was a philosopher

Planning Aim In this experiment I will be testing the effect of temperature on the plasma membrane of a beetroot. I will do this by measuring the percentage light transmission using a spectrophotometer. Once I have obtained my results‚ I will justify them using scientific knowledge explaining what I have observed whilst carrying out the experiment. Factors to be controlled "« The pH concentration "« Regular use of distilled water "« Ensuring that the surface area of each piece of beetroot is

The effect of Temperature on the Xylem of Tomato Plants Question: How does temperature affect the Xylem in Tomato Plants? Introduction: Throughout this experiment I will be testing the size of the Xylem in Roma tomato plants when exposed to different temperatures. I will be placing six Roma Tomatoes in six different area which will each be in different temperatures. After three weeks of constantly watering the tomato plants with blue dyed water I will cut the plant from the root and examine

Abstract The following experiment details the effect of different concentrations of catalase on the production of oxygen and water through the breakdown of Hydrogen Peroxide. In this experiment paper disc where coated in varying concentrations of catalase‚ 0‚ 25‚ 50 75 and 100%. The time taken for the disc to float between two markers on the side of a glass was then recorded. This experiment demonstrates that the higher the concentration of enzyme used the greater the production of oxygen on the

Investigating the effect of pH on the activity of the enzyme catalase. Introduction Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid which appears colourless in a dilute solution‚ slightly more viscous than water. It is a weak acid. It has strong oxidizing properties and is therefore a powerful bleaching agent that is mostly used for bleaching paper. Catalase is a common enzyme found in all living organisms. Its functions include the conversion of Hydrogen Peroxide‚ a powerful and potentially

Most of life’s biological processes involve the use of protein catalyst called enzymes‚ that help speed up chemical reactions within the body without being denatured in the processes. Enzymes can be used continually by temporary binding to a specific substrate in the active site to convert the substrate into a product that the cell needs to perform a specific function. Without the use of catalyst enzymes‚ homeostasis wouldn’t be able to occur quickly enough which can result in many bodily functions
