Effect of Temperature on Enzymes ~Abstract~ In this experiment the effect of different types of temperatures on enzyme activity was examined. The temperature baths that were used to test the difference in enzyme activity on fresh liver were; 4 °C‚ room temperature which was 22°C‚ body temperature which is 37°C‚ and 77°C. The total time of each trial was 2 and a half minute‚ 1 minute for the H2O2 to acclimatize to the temperature‚ 1 and a half minutes for the reaction to occur. Catalase causes Hydrogen

Title: Scientific Investigation of the Peroxidase Enzyme & Temperature Abstract: In this lab we tested the effect temperature has on the rate of enzyme activity. The way we figured this out was by taking four different temperatures and testing the different absorbance levels they produced every 20 seconds for two minutes straight using a spectrophotometer. The important part of this experiment was the temperature the enzyme concentration was made at. What we got from the experiment

and animal cells have several differences and similarities. For example‚ animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed‚ rectangular shapes. Animal Cell Plant Cell Cell wall Absent Present (formed of cellulose) Shape Round (irregular shape) Rectangular (fixed shape) Vacuole One or more small vacuoles (much smaller than plant cells).

By conducting these three separate experiments also‚ three graphs are able to be obtained where the trend of each factor affecting on the enzyme activity is shown and described clearly. II. Hypothesis Experiment 1 (Effect of Temperature): As the temperature increases‚ the height of the bubble will increase too‚ indicating a faster rate of reaction. Experiment 2 (Effect of pH): Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. Extremely

oxidizer and can be used as a disinfectant to prevent infections. However when used incorrectly‚ hydrogen peroxide can cause oxidative stress on cells. This essentially means that there is an imbalance on molecules containing oxygen and the cell cannot detoxify the products. This creates free radicals such as hydroxyl radical that will damage all components of the cell‚ ultimately killing it (Tucker‚ 2012). However‚ humans actually produce

Introduction Enzymes are key players in metabolism. A metabolism is the organic processes in a cell or an organism that are necessary for life. An enzyme affects the rate at which a reaction occurs when the activation energy is lowered. In this reaction the reactant is called the substrate which is that combine with enzymes molecules to form a temporary enzyme substrate complex. During this products are formed and the enzyme molecules released is unchanged. For the substrate complex to form the

are important to understanding cell injury and cell death regardless of the injuring agent” (Heuther & McCance‚ 2012). Cellular injury arises when a cell is unable to sustain homeostasis. The injury can be reversed if the cell can recover from whatever damage was done but if it does not recover the cell will die. The three common forms of cell injury are hypoxic injury‚ free radicals and reactive oxygen species injury‚ and chemical injury. The most common form of cell injury is hypoxic injury‚ or

Plants capture the energy from the sun and converts it into food that is needed by all plants and animals (including us as humans). In this process the chemical reaction which is known as photosynthesis‚ it takes
