Temperature Affecting Enzyme Activity Introduction The basic properties of life revolve around chemical reactions. Without the presence of enzymes some of life’s processes would not come so easily. Enzymes are basically proteins‚ which have specific shapes for different substrates. Enzymes change the rate in chemical reactions. It does this without having to change its own shape‚ which makes enzymes different from other proteins. A common enzyme that we have is catalase‚ which breaks down

Hydrogen‚ interpreted from Greek as the water-creator (RSC site). Fundamentally it is by far the simplest element‚ yet it composes virtually all of the visible universe. Hydrogen is not merely omnipresent; in actuality‚ it is the oldest and arguably the most essential corporeality to the creation and sustainability of utterly all in existence. The aforementioned characteristic that hydrogen is immensely crucial to the survival of all lifeforms is supported by the fact that it is the building block

Effect of Catalase at Different Temperatures Abstract The role of this experiment is to determine the effect of temperature on enzymatic activity. The results of the experiment were the colder the temperature the slower the reaction rate and the hotter the temperature the faster the reaction rate. Introduction Enzymes are chemical substances found in living cells and they act as catalysts of the various chemical reactions that occur in them.(Preszler‚ 2012) They bind to substrates that have

The effect of temperature on a reaction rate In this experiment I shall be investigating how temperature affects the rate of reaction Rates of reaction The Factors that affect the rate of reaction are temperature‚ surface area‚ concentration‚ catalysts‚ light and pressure Surface area – Surface area is the amount of solid surface that is available for reaction - Only affects solids so this will not affect our

Investigation Into Temperature Sensors Introduction In this project I will be investigating how it is possible to use a temperature sensor to keep a greenhouse from changing temperature too much. This is intended to help plants live and grow in their optimum temperature. This will create a perfect temperature for the enzymes in the plants to work in‚ and therefore resulting in a maximum growth/production rate. This could be useful for gardeners who wish to grow plants as quickly as possible

Heat and Temperature Heat is often described by the average individual as being the change in temperature from hot to cold. “Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same‚ but they are not.” Heat and Temperature‚ para. 2) Perhaps the reasoning behind the incorrect reasoning is that humans associate the two together because when heat is applied to an object the temperature rises. The kinetic theory of matter better explains the underlying cause as to what takes place

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED FAN H ere is a circuit through which the speed of a fan can be linearly controlled automatically‚ depending on the room temperature. The circuit is highly efficient as it uses thyristors for power control. Alternatively‚ the same circuit can be used for automatic temperature controlled AC power control. In this circuit‚ the temperature sensor used is an NTC thermistor‚ i.e. one having a negative temperature coefficient. The value of thermistor resistance at
