    Enzymes are proteins or nucleic acids that catalyze reactions. They are able to speed up reactions by reducing the activation energy of a reaction. Each kind of enzyme has a specific shape that matches its substrate so it can bind to its active site. Enzymes convert their substrates into a product. Enzyme activity are affected by factors such as temperature‚ pH‚ and time. If an enzyme is exposed to extreme heat‚ it will become denatured‚ that is‚ to become deformed and lose its original shape which

    on enzyme activity Objective To study the effect of two heavy metal ions‚ lead (II) ions and silver ions on the enzyme activity of invertase. Introduction Hypothesis: The rate of enzyme reaction of invertase decreases and the reaction eventually stops as the heavy metal ions inhibit the enzyme reactions. Biological principle: Heavy metal ions are non-competitive inhibitors. They do not compete with the substrates for the active sites of enzymes. They attach to other parts of the enzyme molecules

    Bleach – And How It Works! Yes‚ knowing how bleach works isn’t all that exciting‚ but since bleach is what you usually use in your daily life‚ why not understand how and why it works? Wonder how the colour of the liquid is a yellowish colour‚ but the clothes come out as pure white? Or maybe why your parents always tell you not to touch bleach because it harms your skin? Since we’re still young‚ why not understand it earlier? Bleach has two forms: chlorine bleach and non-chlorine bleach.

    Wan Ching Man 5C(21) Effects of temperature on the activity of lipase Aim: To investigate the effects of temperature on the activity of lipase enzyme on milk which contain fats or lipids. Introduction: Enzyme is a kind of biological catalyst that made up of protein. It can speed up the metabolic reactions on various kinds of substances. Like lipase can break down lipid into glycerol or fatty acids in milk. Since enzyme is made up of protein which easily affected by varies temperature. This

Causes of cell injury range from gross mechanical external causes to mild endogenous causes as genetic lack of enzymes etc. Virtually all forms of tissue injuries start with molecular or structural alterations in cells. Under normal conditions‚ the cells are in: ❖ homeostastatic „steady“ state Normal cell is confined to relatively narrow range of functions and structure by

    | Lysozyme activity | Observed in tears and saliva | | Connie Jamieson | 3/1/2012 | | Abstract Lysozyme is an enzyme found in both tears and saliva. Each time we blink our eyes‚ our eyelids wash tears over the surface of our eyes. In addition‚ our mouth is continually producing saliva. A spectrophotometer set to 450nm was used to measure the effect of lysozyme on bacteria. The absorbance or optical density was measured for each sample at specific times with a total measuring time of

    Factors Affecting Enzymes The activity of an Enzyme is affected by its environmental conditions. Changing these alter the rate of reaction caused by the enzyme. In nature‚ organisms adjust the conditions of their enzymes to produce an Optimum rate of reaction‚ where necessary‚ or they may have enzymes which adapted to function well in extreme conditions where they live.Increasing temperature increases the Kinetic Energy. In a fluid‚ this means that there are more random collisions between molecules

    Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reaction but are not themselves consumed or changed by the reaction. The cell’s biological catalysts are proteins. Proteins are made up of one or more polypeptide chains that are folded to make an active site‚ an area in which a material to be acted on by the enzyme‚ called the substrate‚ will fit. The temperature‚pH‚ the concentration of enzyme‚ and the concentration of substrate all affect the activity of the enzyme and the rate of the reaction. The
