reaction involves enzymes. So to understand how bleach works‚ we first understand how enzymes work. Enzymes Enzymes are the most important thing in our lives‚ it makes the world go ‘round! Enzymes are proteins that acts as catalysts and help combine or break down hydrogen peroxide. Imagine a pen with ink inside it‚ when you write‚ ink comes out‚ right? You can draw‚ you can write‚ then when you finish and get your pen off of the paper‚ the ink stops coming out. Enzymes are like that‚ they

Potato Enzyme Lab INTRODUCTION An enzyme is a protein that speeds up or slows down a specific chemical reaction in an organism. A good rule of thumb is to remember that enzyme names end in “-ase”. This will help in identifying enzymes in further readings. Generally enzymes are catalysts. Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic chemical that is produced in many organisms during metabolism. Organisms must get rid of this toxin to survive. One reaction turns the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The

The behaviours describe in detail how a human resources professional needs to carry out their activities. Each behaviour is described at four bands of professional competence. There are eight behaviours which I have listed below:- 1. Curious – Is future focused‚ inquisitive and open minded; seeks out evolving and innovative ways to add value

Restriction Enzymes Restriction enzymes (also known as restriction endonucleases) are a group of bacterial enzymes which cut double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) into smaller fragments at specific points. They are a defence mechanism used by bacteria to cleave the DNA of invading viruses‚ thereby restricting their expression. The exploitation of restriction enzymes ability to cut large pieces of DNA into smaller fragments (called restriction fragments) and the highly specific way in which they do this

Lab Report Factors That Affect Enzymes Reaction Rate Name of lab: Effects of temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity Introduction: Enzymes are the most important types of proteins‚ they act as catalysis (speed up chemical reactions). If enzymes didn’t exist‚ biochemical reactions would act to slowly and they couldn’t keep up with the metabolic functions. Enzymes have a three-dimensional structure that is really complex. This structure consists

Enzymes are generally protein macromolecules that act as catalysts in metabolic reactions. A catalyst is a chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by the reaction. Enzymes speed up metabolic reaction rates by lowering the activation energy barrier‚ which is the amount of energy initially needed to spark a reaction. It allows reactant molecules to absorb enough energy to break bonds and react without raising the temperature to an extreme. During this process the substrate

Stallings Period 2 January 26‚ 2013 Enzyme Catalysis Lab Report Background: Enzymes are catalyst‚ which affect the rate of a chemical reaction. One consequence includes the cell to carry out complex chemical activities at relatively low temperatures. In these reactions the substrate binds reversibly to the active site. The cause of this is a decrease in the energy needed to activate the reaction of the substrate molecule to from products. Every enzyme is particular for a reaction for the reason

Biomes Comparison Essay Ecologists group earth’s diverse environments into biomes. A biome is a complex of terrestrial communities that develops a large area and is characterized by certain soil climate conditions and particular assemblages of plants and animals. Not all species live in every biome they vary in their adaptations to different conditions. An adaptation is an inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce. These sorts of variations in plants
