    increases/decreases reaction rates. The variables we used are hot/cold and room temperature water‚ a equal mixture of HCL and water‚ A equal mixture of NaOH and water‚ either a whole‚ broken‚ or finely crushed Alka-seltzer tablet. The fastest rate average was at 0.04 s (finely crushed Alka-seltzer with room temp. water). The slowest rate average is 8.02 s (Alka-seltzer with cold water). Introduction The theory of this experiment is to determine what factors or variables affect the rate of a reaction.

    Investigating the effect of pH on amylase activity Aim The aim of the experiment is to determine the effects of different pH and the rate of reaction on fungal amylase and starch. Introduction The enzyme amylase is found in the human body‚ it catalyses the hydrolosis of internal glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides‚ the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in human saliva‚ where it initiates the chemical process of digestion. Enzymes work best at an optimum pH of 7 which is

    Biology “Enzyme Activities” Introduction: Enzymes have extremely interesting properties that make them little chemical-reaction machines. The purpose of an enzyme in a cell is to allow the cell to carry out chemical reactions very quickly. These reactions allow the cell to build things or take things apart as needed. This is how a cell grows and reproduces. At the most basic level‚ a cell is really a little bag full of chemical reactions that are made possible by enzymes (Brain). Laboratory

    Investigation on Effects of Different pH on Enzyme Activity How does the different pH buffers affect activity of potato enzyme/extract? Introduction: Proteins are polymers that are made up of smaller units/monomers called amino acids. There are 20 different types of amino acids‚ thus make up many different combinations in types‚ numbers of amino acids as well as their orders – an explanantion for why there are so many proteins. Every protein‚ due to various reactions of amino acids to each

    practical is to investigate the effect of exercise on heart rate and breathing rate. We will use a digital heart rate monitor strapped on our chest while we perform different levels of exercise. A digital watch is also provided which receives signals from the heart rate monitor and displays your current heart rate on the screen. To measure the breathing rate at different levels of exercise‚ we measure the breathing rate before physical activity by counting the number of breaths in 10 seconds‚ and then

    College General Biology I Enzymes‚ test for effect of pH on catalase activity Purpose The main purpose of this experiment was to learn about enzymes and how to test for the effect of pH on catalase activity and to be able to tell if a reaction is an exergonic or endergonic process. Introduction Enzymes are made from amino acids‚ which are made from proteins. In order to make an enzyme‚ hundreds of amino acids are strung together in a very specific and unique order and eventually is folded

    Aim To investigate the effect of different temperatures on the activity of rennin in milk Introduction Enzymes are globular protein‚ responsible for most of the chemical activities of living organisms. They are made up of long chains of amino acids containing carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen and nitrogen (Gunsch‚ 2012). The role of enzyme is to act as catalysts‚ substances that speed up chemical reactions without being chemically altered during the process. The speeding up of chemical reactions is done
