Student Name: Zack Salem General Aim: Factors that affect vital capacity. Research Question: Does a long distance runner have larger vital capacity than short distance runner? Background Information: This is an experiment to see if long distance runners have a larger vital capacity than short distance runners and why so‚ if it is true. Independent variables: The runners. Dependent variables: The average measure of vital capacity after trials of blowing as hard as possible into a spirometer.

In this lab the peroxidase enzyme is tested in a dormant avocado seed as well as an avocado seed undergoing the process of germination. A gas pressure will be used to test the seeds and see if the peroxidase enzyme is present in either of the seeds. A catalyst is very similar to track spikes. Spikes increase a runner’s speed‚ as a catalyst speeds up the chemical reaction time in a plant. Neither the catalyst nor shoes are changed in these actions. Enzymes are macromolecules that act like catalysts

ABSTRACT Enzymes are biological catalysts; they cause reactions to happen that would not normally occur due to the activation energy that would be required. They bring together substrates and cause chemical reactions that are essential for life. Without enzymes life processes‚ and life in of itself‚ would not be possible. Enzymes are also special because very little of the actual enzyme is actually used up in the reaction. In this lab two different factors‚ temperature and pH‚ were tested to see

and Virology. The objective of my thesis was to produce and characterize thermostable β-Galactosidase enzyme‚ which has been explored in various biotechnological‚ industrial‚ medical and analytical applications. The focus of research was not only limited to thermo stability of β-Galactosidase‚ but also to the production of large amount of enzyme in a short period of time. The β-Galactosidase enzyme hydrolyzes lactose into galactooligosaccharides‚ which are suitable for lactose-intolerant people and

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

Introduction Enzymes are catalytic proteins. The purpose of a catalyst is to speed up metabolic reactions by lowering the free energy of activation or activation energy. Activation energy is known as the amount of energy needed to push the reactants over an energy barrier‚ so that the downhill part of the reaction can begin (Campbell 151). In an enzyme catalyzed reaction‚ the enzyme binds to its substrate‚ which is the reactant an enzyme acts on. In the reactions‚ the enzymes are very specific

INTRODUCTION Enzymes are a protein serving as a catalyst‚ a chemical agent that changes the rate of the reaction without being consumed by the reaction. Enzymes are proteins made up of long chains of amino acids. These form complex shapes. The enzymes are individuals‚ like the different players on a ball team‚ they have different specific structures and jobs. As one ball player may be very tall and one short‚ the specific different shape of the active site on an enzyme is unique and prepares it

Enzyme Lab Write-Up Purpose: To observe how an enzyme affect the speed of chemical reaction. To describe how the concentration of an enzyme affects its ability to work. Hypothesis: Depending on the concentration of the catalase which the disk is soaked in‚ it will have a direct correlation on the rate of hydrogen peroxide being broken down into oxygen gas. Prediction: Since the rate of reaction can be lowered by the addition of catalysis such as an enzyme. Moreover to
