Introduction Enzymes are catalysts which speed up a reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway of lower activation energy. But they do not undergo permanent changes and so they remain unchanged even at the end of the reaction. Many enzymes consist of proteins and non-proteins called the cofactor. The intra- and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary and tertiary structures are disrupted by changes in temperature and pH. This affects shapes and so the catalytic activity of an

of oxygen. The furthest light from the plant led to the least amount of oxygen produced for the three different distances. These results show how the rate of photosynthesis and the by-product produced is increased as the intensity of light is increased. The second part of the experiment reveals that the color of light also has an effect of the rate of photosynthesis. The red light resulted in the greatest amount of oxygen produced and the blue was not too far behind. Green produced the lowest amount

The bonding of an enzyme to its substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. The catalytic action of the enzyme converts its substrate into the product or products of the reaction. Each reaction is extremely specific‚ distinguishing between closely related compounds‚ including isomers. For example‚ the enzyme sucrase will only act on sucrose and will not bind to any other disaccharide. The molecular recognition of enzymes is due to the fact that they are proteins‚ which are defined as being macromolecules

African-American Preschoolers: Child and Environmental Associations Source: Child Development‚ January/February 1999‚ Volume 70‚ Number 1 Abstract: This study examined how child (gender) and environmental factors (mother’s education‚ poverty‚ responsiveness and stimulation of the home environment) affect individual differences in the language development of African-American children between 18-30 months of age. Most studies have focused on White middle-class parents and their children and did not include

process to anabolic hormones of the human body. Intrinsically they have like outcomes on the human body to anabolic steroids‚ triggering fast weight and force advances‚ but of a minor scale cause of the frequency limiting consequence produced by the enzyme adaptation. However‚ this theoretical explanation is thought-out somewhat outdated due to the expansions which have been done in supplement science. Epistane is amongst the hottest upscale steroids obtainable today‚ and it is achieving attention very

This experiment focuses on the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis. In simple terms this refers to how the production rate of the products of photosynthesis (oxygen and glucose) will be affected by a light source at different distances. The hypothesis states that “If there is a higher light intensity‚ then more oxygen and glucose molecules will be produced‚ and the rate of photosynthesis will increase.” This hypothesis was accepted. This was determined by counting the number of

In this enzyme lab‚ (insert creative name)‚ the enzyme catalase was observed under varying conditions in order to interpret what prohibits and inhibits the functioning of certain enzymes in chemical reactions. Enzymes aid in chemical reactions by speeding up the time it takes for the reaction to occur‚ without getting “used up” throughout the process. Catalase‚ the specific enzyme used in this lab‚ is a protein abundant in the liver and red blood cells. It enhances the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide

The graph shows that the respiration rate does increase as the yeast concentration rises‚ but levels off and eventually reached its saturation point‚ or decline‚ which occurs at 8.5g. This decline may occur because there are too many yeast molecules in comparison to the glucose‚ which may lead to yeast cells hindering a collision thus lessening the reaction. The respiration rate increases as more yeast is added because it gives more opportunities for molecular collisions and so the amount of successful

exercise affect your breathing and heart rate?” and my hypothesis was “If you exercise then your heart and breathing rates will go up because your body needs more oxygen to be circulated so that your body can keep up.”. My hypothesis was correct‚ as proven by my test. My partner‚ Brian’s heart rate when it was resting was 56 beats per second and his breathing rate was 40 beats per second. We made him do jumping jacks for ten seconds and his heart and breathing rates both went up. His heart rate increased

My SRP is determining if the colour of ice affects its melting rate. Ice melts by taking in energy from its surroundings to form heat. This makes the molecules in the ice cube vibrate. As the overall vibration increases‚ the water molecules split from each other turning the ice from a frozen state to a liquid state. Heat can be absorbs in two different ways‚ through direct contact with a hot surface or through radiation of a hot surface nearby. Radiant heat can be contributed by sunlight‚ fires and
