In this experiment the substrate is going to be hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) and the enzyme is going to be catalase. Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) is a product of aerobic cellular respiration and is considered a free radical. This means that too much of hydrogen peroxide can affect the organelles. In order to stop damages caused by hydrogen peroxide‚ the enzyme catalase changes hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) to water(H2O) and oxygen gas(O2). Catalase is present most animal cells. The

inhibitor during the catalysis of the hydrogen peroxide into O2 and H2O. Introduction: We rely on oxygen to provide us with energy (ATP) and go through all the phases of aerobic respiration. However‚ oxygen can be harmful to humans and can cause problems if not carefully regulated. Our cells can create a great range of antioxidant enzymes to fight and control the dangerous hydrogen peroxide and catalase is one of them. Catalase can convert hydrogen peroxide into

Biology 20 IB Design Lab Does increasing or decreasing the ph level of a 3% concentration H2O2 (l) solution affect the amount of oxygen released between 15.0ml of the solution and a 5g sample of liver? The reaction is measured by the difference in mass of a balloon that is used to capture the amount of gas released by the catalase enzyme found in liver reacting with a basified 3% H2O2 (l) and an acidified 3% H2O2 (l) . Chemical reactions occur when two or more molecules interact and the molecules

thing in automotive fuel may very well be hydrogen. Automakers rapidly are closing in on making hydrogen fuel cell vehicles an everyday fact of life‚ with several test models set to debut over the next few years. Hydrogen fuel cells to power vehicles are desirable‚ experts say‚ because hydrogen is a renewable fuel that can be used to create electricity to run cars. A chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen produces the electric power‚ and when pure hydrogen is used‚ the only emission from the tailpipe

alteration of a substance into one or more different substances with different properties (also called chemical reaction). The four different types of chemial reations are synthesis‚ decomposition‚ single displacement‚ and double displacement. Synthesis is when atoms and/or molecules combine to form larger molecules. Decomposition is when a large molecules are split into elements or smaller molecules. Single Displacement has an element and a compound as reactants and one element replaces another element

In the ecosystem project‚ there are three chambers. The three chambers in our ecosystem are aquatic‚ decomposition and terrestrial. We formed a hypothesis about what would happen to the biotic factors in each chamber of the ecosystem. For the aquatic chamber‚ we stated that the fish would die if the fish did not receive enough oxygen and enough food in the tank. The decomposition chamber did not have a lot of changes much because there is no activity or life in that chamber besides the the potato

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

When liver was added to hydrogen peroxide is caused and instantaneous reaction time. This is due to the enzyme catalase. If the enzyme catalase was not present in the human body‚ hydrogen peroxide‚ which is highly toxic to cells‚ would attack the unsaturated fatty acid compounds in the membrane of lipids.2 This would cause substantial damage to the membrane structure. Since catalase utilizes hydrogen peroxide as both an electron acceptor and donor it oxidizes hydrogen peroxide isolating oxygen while

THE EFFECT OF HYDROGEN BONDING ON RESISTING FLOW Design Investigating a factor affecting the viscosity of a mixture of liquid Research Question The effect of hydrogen bonding on resisting flow of five different liquids Background Theory Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow‚ either within itself‚ or to moving past an objects moving through it. A liquid with high viscosity is thick and flows slowly. A liquid with a low viscosity is thin and flows quickly. Different liquids
