Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

Experiment N | Kinetics of the Depolymerization of Diacetone Alcohol via Basic Catalysis | | Ingrid Tafur -5672578 | 2/11/2011 | CHM233O Partner: Laura Marrongelli Demonstrator: Cheryl McDowall Objective The rate constant of the depolymerization of diacetone alcohol via basic catalysis was determined by monitoring the change in volume as a function of time at constant temperature of a pseudo first order reaction where the species in excess was sodium hydroxide. This was accomplished

ABSTRACT: This lab allows us to observe the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen gas. An enzyme known as catalase facilitates this decomposition reaction. The catalase enzyme acts as catalysis‚ helping lower the energy needed to activate the reaction while the enzyme itself is not affected. Catalase is a digestive enzyme used to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a normal byproduct of cellular respiration. The reaction could take place without the help of catalase‚ but

Experiment 16: Kinetics: The Iodine Clock Jane Smith Purpose: The objective of this experiment was for students to apply their knowledge of kinetics and rate laws in order to determine the rate of a chemical reactions‚ activation energy‚ and frequency factors of those reactions. Specifically‚ this experiment was performed using a series of solutions with varying concentrations of KI‚ Na2S2O3‚ and (NH4)2S2O3 . Students recorded time elapsed to observe physical evidence of a reaction taking place

Bio DCP lab-Catalase experiment Aim: To investigate enzyme kinetics‚ using different concentration of the enzyme. Hypothesis: The assay system used in the lab consists of a filter paper disc coated with the enzyme and the dropped into a papercup of substrate (Hydrogen Peroxide). As the hydrogen breaks down the hydrogen peroxide into hydrogen and oxygen gas‚ the bubbles of oxygen gas collect underneath the filter and make it rise to the surface of the hydrogen peroxide. The time it takes

Enzyme Catalase under optimum conditions‚ speeds up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide The students have studied that Hydrogen peroxide is a jeopardy to metabolism if it’s not obliterated. Enzymes are proteins produced by living cells of that act as catalysts which affects the rate of biochemical reaction by speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. The students have formed a hypothesis toward this experiment. If the speed of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is related to the temperature then in high temperature it will

Enzyme Activity Lab Hypothesis: 1] Are enzymes reusable? Yes‚ enzymes are reusable. 2] Which of the following do you think contain catalase? [Manganese dioxide‚ chicken meat‚ apple‚ carrot‚ potato‚ or chicken liver] I think that the manganese dioxide‚ apple‚ and carrot contain the catalase. 3] Would grinding the materials affect enzyme activity? I think that grinding the materials will increase enzyme activity. 4] Would temperature affect enzyme activity? I think that
