IB Biology Sheran Gu Meghan Lena Nov. 15th Influence of pH on Enzyme Activities How does the pH of solution influence the speed of enzyme activities? Enzymes are protein catalysts and chemical that speed up chemical reaction without being involved in the reaction. They are involved in the human digestive system to help people digest food more efficient. Food are substrates to be break down and absorb through the digestive system in the body. Substrate is a molecule that bond with the active site

Title: pH and buffer solutions Aim This experiment was carried out to determine the role of buffer solution and the factor which affect the buffer capacity. Besides‚ this experiment was carried out to investigate the solubility of protein casein over a range of pH concentration. This experiment also was carried out to determine the isoelectric point of the casein and the effect of the isoelectric point toward the casein solution. Methods Verification of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

Red Cabbage Indicator Aim – To create a pH indicator out of a red cabbage solution and to construct a basic pH scale to determine the pH of unknown solutions. Materials - • red cabbage leaves • 250 mL beaker • hotplate or Bunsen burner‚ tripod‚ gauze mat and bench mat • 10 test-tubes – equal size • test-tube rack Methods - Part A: Making the indicator 1. Tear up one or two red cabbage leaves‚ and place them in the beaker with enough water so that the cabbage is just covered. 2. Heat the beaker

What is pH? a. pH is a measurement of hydrogen ion concentration. It measures rather the solution is acid‚ base‚ or neutral. 8. What is a base? a. Accepts hydrogen ions from another substance that have a pH>7. It taste bitter and feel slippery. 9. What is an acid? a. Component with a positive or negative charge that break apart in water to form

the effects of an incorrect pH level. pH measures the concentration of hydronium ions and can be modeled by the function p(t) = −log10t. The variable t represents the amount of hydronium ions; p(t) gives the resulting pH level. Water at 25 degrees Celsius has a pH of 7. Anything that has a pH less than 7 is called acidic‚ a pH above 7 is basic‚ or alkaline. Seawater has a pH just more than 8‚ whereas lemonade has a pH of approximately 3. 1) Create a graph of the pH function either by hand or using

digestive power of pepsin is greatest at the acidity of normal gastric juice (pH 1.5–2.5). In the intestine the gastric acids are neutralized (pH 7)‚ and pepsin is no longer effective. "Pepsin (biochemistry)." Encyclopedia Britannica Online. Encyclopedia Britannica‚ n.d. Web. 10 Dec. 2012. Research Question: Does changing the pH of pepsin affect the ability to break down the protein (mass of jello). Variables: independent- Ph level dependent- The mass of the jello

Biology coursework The aim of this experiment is to investigate the affect of pH on the enzyme amylase. The amylase is used to break down the polysaccharide starch. Amylase is a digestive enzyme classified as a saccharidase (an enzyme that cleaves polysaccharides). It is mainly a constituent of pancreatic juice and saliva‚ needed for the breakdown of long-chain carbohydrates (such as starch) into smaller units. Amylase is also synthesized in the fruit of many plants during ripening‚ causing them

Armadillium vulgare taxis response to different pH levels. Abstract The terrestrial isopod‚ Armadillium vulgare is commonly referred to as a slater or pill bug. Since transitioning from the sea to land and originally colonizing in Mediterranean regions‚ it has adapted throughout evolution to inhabit local microhabitats. The pill bug is bound by several parameters and also has specific requirements that need to be met for optimal biological functioning. As such‚ behavioural and physiological
