As the temperature increased‚ the enzyme activity also increased‚ however‚ only to an optimal level which was at temperature 32oC. Once the temperature was beyond the optimal level‚ the rate began to decline and this was represented by the concave curve on figure 5 and 7. This was because as the temperature increases‚ the frequency of collisions between the enzyme and the substrate also increased hence faster reaction rate. Whereas‚ the enzymes operated slowly at low temperature as there wasn’t sufficient

it tells a variety of different things. Each temperature attempt was done three times to be accurate. First of all‚ the hypothesis (the higher the temperature the faster the reaction will occur) has been proven correct and it proves the theory right. From the results‚ we can see this‚ as the iced water (10 degrees) had the slowest rate of reaction at 1.10 minutes. Then the room temperature water (19 degrees) was tested and had a slightly better rate of reaction at 1.09 minutes. Then last of all

‘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

coagulate‚ the independent was the temperature of the water bath and the control was the deionised water and milk solution. These variables allowed for the experiment to be conducted accurately‚ with unexpected results. This is due to the enzymes being most active at 60ᵒC‚ it was that results were going to be most active at the 41ᵒC which is close to human body temperature. When we compare the enzyme in the low temperatures to the enzymes in the higher temperature we observed that the enzymes were

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
Premium Carbon dioxide Cellular respiration Metabolism
Organisms through cellular respiration convert energy into ATP. They do this in three distinct stages; glycolysis‚the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain. The Krebs cycle and electron transport chain are both aerobic process and require oxygen. In certain conditions where oxygen is not present or is low some organisms switch from cellular respiration into alcoholic or lactic acid fermentation. Fermentation is an anaerobic‚ metabolic pathway used to oxidize nicotinamide adenine

Due to the fact that it would be closer to the light source‚ the light would be slightly more intense‚ therefore the rate of photosynthesis would be slightly more advanced‚ causing a lower absorption.

will be addressed. Does heat speed up the enzyme reaction? The prediction is as more heat is applied more reactions will occur then at some point the heat will denature the enzyme as it reaches too high of heat. If an enzyme has been denatured it means the shape has been altered therefore cannot perform its function‚ many factors can cause this including high heat. The hypothesis is if temperature is increased the amount of activity rate will increase. The results for the rate of oxygen production

performed to investigate the effects of temperature on the growth rate pine seedlings. Experiment 1 A batch of 60 pine seedlings (Batch I) was grown in a greenhouse under controlled temperatures. Ten plants were grown at each of six temperatures from 50 C to 300 C. These plants remained at their original temperatures 24 hours each day for two weeks. All other conditions were the same for all seedlings. The growth rates are shown in Table 1. Table 1. Growth rates for pine seedlings in Batch I Experiment

are exposed daily to oxygen (such as fruits‚ vegetables and animals). Background Information The Catalase enzyme in this experiment is known for being less affective the warmer the temperature is. According to “Science fair projects” an enzyme becomes unstable at higher temperatures and the shape of the enzyme changes. The enzyme is also used to remove hydrogen peroxide from clothing in the textile industry. This would make sense because when an enzyme encounters a substrate molecule
