    purpose of this lab was to determine the effects of changes in variables such as temperature‚ pH and concentration on catalase enzyme activity. Proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acid subunits consisting of carboxyl and amino functional groups‚ linked together by peptide bonds through condensation reactions. They are an essential part of all living organisms. Enzymes are “biological catalyst used to speed up chemical reactions (Athanasopoulos‚ 2014). Normally‚ for chemical reactions; “reactant

    the Rate of Reaction of Enzyme Amylase Research Question: How will changing the percentage of sodium chloride concentration affect the rate of reaction of enzyme amylase‚ measured using the absorbance of starch and iodine with a spectrophotometer. Introduction: Amylase is an enzyme that is involved in the human digestive process. Found in both the human pancreas and the human saliva‚ amylase breaks down starch into sugar so that large molecules can be easily digested1. Like all enzymes‚ amylase

    to evaluate absorbance and the reaction rate of an enzyme‚ ’-amylase in starch-iodine solution. We will be testing the relationship between enzymatic reaction affected by temperature and pH. Through the testing the enzyme at different temperatures‚ and different pH levels; it would determine at which temperature and pH level the enzyme worked the most efficiently. Analyzing absorbance of the solutions with spectrophotometery will determine the reaction rate. To test the optimal pH‚ the starch and

    Enzyme action is the simple mechanism by which enzymes catalyse chemical reactions. This begins with the binding of the substrate to the active site on the enzyme. The binding of the substrate to the enzyme causes changes in the distribution of electrons in the chemical bonds of the substrate. This then causes the reactions that lead to the formation of products that are then released from the enzyme surface to regenerate the enzyme for another reaction cycle. The active site has a unique shape that

    In the experiment‚ the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis will be tested. Photosynthesis is the process in which autotrophic plants create their own food (energy) from sunlight. Photosynthesis involves three ‘ingredients’ or reactants‚ carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and light energy (sunlight). Carbon dioxide and sunlight come in through a leaf’s stomata which are tiny holes‚ and water is absorbed through their roots. When all of these reactants are combined in a plant’s chloroplasts

    The affect of temperature on the rate of movement of woodlice Aim: The aim of this experiment is to establish whether a change in temperature affects the rate in which woodlouse move. I measured the rate by timing the woodlouse to move a set distance of 20cm‚ and altered the surrounding temperature by submerging a clear tube in water with different temperatures controlled by a water bath. Research: It is to be believed there over 3000 different species of woodlice‚ a total of 42 species

    "To See What Factors Affect The Decomposition Of Hydrogen Peroxide By The Enzyme Catalase Which Is Found In The Liver" Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up the chemical reactions which go on inside living things. Without them the reactions would be so slow that life would grind to a halt. Enzymes work by when a substrate molecule bumps into a molecule of the right enzyme‚ it fits into a depression on the surface of the enzyme molecule. This depression is called the

    Enzymes Ashley Njeru Mrs. Booth Tuesday‚ March 19th 2013 SBI 4U INTRODUCTION: The cellular activity of all organisms is controlled through the use of enzymes. An enzyme is a special type of biological molecule‚ usually a protein‚ which speeds up a chemical reaction; most are soluble in water or a dilute salt solution. There are about 4000 different enzymes in a typical living cell. If even one of these enzymes is missing or
