Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reaction but are not themselves consumed or changed by the reaction. The cell’s biological catalysts are proteins. Proteins are made up of one or more polypeptide chains that are folded to make an active site‚ an area in which a material to be acted on by the enzyme‚ called the substrate‚ will fit. The temperature‚pH‚ the concentration of enzyme‚ and the concentration of substrate all affect the activity of the enzyme and the rate of the reaction. The

Investigate Concentration of Substrate on Catalase enzyme 1. Aim/Prediction. Aim of this experiment is to investigate concentration of substrate on catalase enzyme‚ as well to see how they work in different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Prediction would be‚ that the filter paper discs that were used‚ will rise up to the surface in a time in the tube of different concentration of hydrogen peroxide. And in different concentrations the time will be different. As higher the concentration

The activity of an Enzyme is affected by its environmental conditions and changing these factors can alter the overall rate of the reaction. Reaction rates are influenced by external factors such as pH‚ temperature and salt concentration. Different enzymes have different optimum temperatures in which they are most efficient and different pH levels which is ideal for their formation of enzyme-substrate complexes. As the temperature increases‚ there is more movement of molecules and more random collisions

on enzyme activity Objective To study the effect of two heavy metal ions‚ lead (II) ions and silver ions on the enzyme activity of invertase. Introduction Hypothesis: The rate of enzyme reaction of invertase decreases and the reaction eventually stops as the heavy metal ions inhibit the enzyme reactions. Biological principle: Heavy metal ions are non-competitive inhibitors. They do not compete with the substrates for the active sites of enzymes. They attach to other parts of the enzyme molecules

FUNCTIONS OF ENZYMES Enzymes are extremely important to the human body and its ability to function. An enzyme itself is a protein made by the body’s cells to act as catalyst‚ speeding up chemical reactions in the cell. It does this by taking the reactants‚ or the elements or compounds that enter into the chemical reaction‚ in this situation referred to as substrates‚ and breaking apart their bonds so that new ones can form. The three types of enzymes are digestive enzymes‚ food enzymes‚ and metabolic

Enzyme Reaction to Variable Elizabeth Alvidrez University of Texas at El Paso Abstract: An enzyme is a protein that serves as a biological catalyst (Denniston‚ 2007). Metabolic reactions happen with in cells. Enzymes are proteins that are used to speed up these reactions without being consumed by them (Mader‚ 2010). Catalase is a catalyst that digests potent hydrogen peroxide and converts it into H2O and O (Campbell Reese‚ 2008). The environment plays an important role

Effecting the Reaction Rate in Enzymes in Plants and Animals Problem- How do variables temperature and surface area affect the rate of reaction occurring in the enzyme? Information- Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. They speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells. Enzymes can be found in both liver and potato. They provide a site where reactants can be brought together to react. These reactants are called substrates that fin into the enzyme. The changing of
