How does temperature affect the rate of reaction for Lipase? As the temperature increases‚ so will the rate of enzyme reaction. However‚ as the temperature exceeds the optimum the rate of reaction will decrease. I predict that at temperatures above 70°C the enzyme lipase will become denatured and at temperatures below 10°C the enzyme will become inactive. Since lipase operates within the human body I’d also predict that its optimum temperature would be around human body temperature which is approximately

WHY DOES THE COLOUR LEAK OUT OF COOKED BEETROOT? PLAN Hypothesis Temperature has an effect on the leaking of the colour from beetroot. This means that as the temperature is altered there will be a change in the rate of colour leakage. Scientific Background Beetroot is a very familiar vegetable and is commonly known as beet. It is famous in most recipe books that advice that its outer skin is not to be removed to avoid getting red dye in the cooking water. If we look at the internal structure

Practical 2.1- The Effect of Temperature on Membranes Objective To investigate the effect of temperature on membrane structure Introduction Beetroot Pigments Beetroots contain Betalains which are the red pigments present in the cell vacuole. Betalains are soluble in water and they contain nitrogen. Betalains extracted from beetroot is commonly used as food dye because it is not known to cause any allergic reactions.

the 20% solution‚ rate of osmosis will be higher in the 40% solution. This can be supported by using Fick’s law: rate of diffusion=area x concentration difference/ distance. This formula illustrates that as the concentration difference increases‚ so does the rate of diffusion. Therefore‚ higher concentrated solutions will have a higher rate of diffusion/osmosis. 2a. The purpose of increasing the concentration of sodium chloride was to increase the rate of diffusion. This illustrated that as concentration

Investigating the effects of temperature on cell membranes Independent variable: Temperature of beetroot Dependent variable: Absorbency of light Hypothesis: As temperature rises to its optimum temperature‚ the absorbency of light will increase because protein is an enzyme and will therefore be affected by temperature. This is because more beetroot dye will pass through the cell membrane and then into the distilled water. The deeper the colour of the beetroot dye‚ the higher the absorbency

Membrane Permeability Aim To determine the effect of various chemicals and high temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot Hypothesis Organic solvent and high temperature will destroy the cell membrane and make it permeable to the red pigment. The higher the concentration of the alcohol‚ the greater will be this effect. Principle Beetroot is the material used in this experiment to demonstrate the effects of high temperature and chemicals on the permeability of the cell membranes

Computer Simulation of Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Passive Processes and Active Processes Introduction In this lab we will establish a difference between the two types of cell transport mechanisms and their permeability. The first type of cell transport is passive processes which are driven by concentration or pressure differences in the interior and exterior of the cell. The second type is active processes which use energy known as ATP to power the transport. There are two

Some organisms‚ such as bacteria‚ consist of one single cell; others‚ like human beings‚ consist of many hundreds of millions of cells‚ all functioning together to make a complete whole. All living cells‚ however simple‚ have certain characteristics which are always present. These characteristics are: * Activity * Respiration * Digestion
