Enzymes What Are Enzymes? Substances that speed up chemical reactions are called catalysts. Organic catalysts are called enzymes. Enzymes are specific for one particular reaction or group of related reactions. Many reactions cannot occur without the correct enzyme present. They are often named by adding "ase" to the name of the substrate. Example: Dehydrogenases are enzymes that remove hydrogen. Induced-fit Theory The shape of the enzyme must match the shape of the substrate

pH and Microbial Growth Introduction: Each organism has an optimum environment for growth‚ which includes pH level. Organisms that grow at near neutral pH levels are called neutrophiles. Those that grow best in acidic pH values are called acidophiles. Others‚ yet‚ grow best in alkaline pH values and are called alkaliphiles. In this lab‚ each group was assigned an organism‚ which was then used to inoculate 6 different pH levels. Materials and Methods: Followed lab procedure 29‚ “pH and

Lab #5: Dissolved Oxygen Lab Be sure to read and understand the below instructions BEFORE the lab! Experiment 1: Investigating the Effect of Temperature and Salinity on the Concentration of Dissolved Oxygen in Water Introduction: In an aquatic environment‚ oxygen must be in a solution in a free state (O2) before it is available for use by organisms (bio-available). Its concentration and distribution in the aquatic environment are directly dependent on chemical and physical factors and are

Ph Lab Report Bryon Kim 123013 B(2) Biology Background information/Research PH paper (litmus paper) determines how acidic or how basic a substance is. The paper changes color accordingly to color code on the pH scale. The pH scale starts from 0 to 14. The lower the number the more acidic it is. Zero is the most acidic‚ and 14 is the most basic while 7 is the neutral number for example water. Examples of an acid is lemon juice or multi purpose cleaner. Examples of a basic substance is shampoo or liquid soap

Introduction Enzymes are catalysts which speed up a reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway of lower activation energy. But they do not undergo permanent changes and so they remain unchanged even at the end of the reaction. Many enzymes consist of proteins and non-proteins called the cofactor. The intra- and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary and tertiary structures are disrupted by changes in temperature and pH. This affects shapes and so the catalytic activity of an

Influence of Concentration on the Activity of Amylase Title Influence of Concentration on the Activity of Amylase Abstract Does more or less concentration speed up the reaction rate of amylase in starch? In this experiment diluted solutions of amylase were created and then tested using a starch solution‚ I2KI for reaction times. The answer to the question was proved to be that more concentration of amylase speeds up the reaction time. Introduction The enzyme‚ amylase is found in the saliva

Purpose: To find how pH and temperature levels affect the enzyme Background: Enzymes are a type of protein vital to sustaining life‚ it works with vitamins and minerals as a biological catalyst‚ which lowers the activation energy for a reaction to occur. Each individual type of enzyme does a specific job‚ and they do not die‚ they are reused. For example‚ catalase is an enzyme found in almost all living cells that will break down hydrogen peroxide and turn it into water and oxygen. The

analyzing pH it measures for the acidity or basicity of a solution. pH levels vary depending on the solution. The more acidic solutions would be juices and vinegar and cleaning materials would be basic. You can determine the purpose of solutions based on their acidity and basicity. We measure the pH of solutions on a scale with levels from 1-14. These levels may change if other solutions are added‚ we can tell what the pH will be based on its colour. Solutions called buffers change the pH levels of
