Potato Enzyme Lab Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up chemical reaction in living organisms. The purpose of this lab was to; observe the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide toxin by potato’s enzyme catalase‚ determine factors that influence how quickly the reaction takes place‚ and determine factors that influence how well enzymes function. The first test‚ we were supposed to see what would happen when we add sand in hydrogen peroxide. We filled a test tube with 5mL hydrogen peroxide and we added

why water has low vapour pressur and high surface tension Ok‚ well the answer to your first question is hydrogen bonds. Water has high surface tension and low vaporization temp because the hydrogen bonds in water make strong dipoles that are difficult to separate (yielding high surface tension) and greater energy to overcome when vaporized. study help site http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-01-physics-i-classical-mechanics-fall-1999/syllabus/ Explain gas laws through KMT acc to k.m.t gasses

to increase from 27% (7.938M) to 30% (8.8M) H2O2‚ the velocity of experiment IV (the uninhibited reaction) decreased slightly from 27% (7.938M) to 30% (8.8M) H2O2 (Figure 3.3). Since this is not an expected result based on Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics‚ this slight decrease was likely due to human error. The average difference in velocity between the inhibited and uninhibited reactions was 0.3942 mL/s. A paired t-test was run on the velocity data for the two experiments and resulted in a p-value

Title: The affects of hydrogen peroxide on catalase reactions in animal and plant cells at different temperatures and states. Introduction: All living organisms in the kingdoms of life are composed of and depend on cells to function normally. Not all cells‚ however‚ are alike. There are two primary types of cells: eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Cells contain organelles‚ or tiny cellular structures‚ that carry out specific functions necessary for normal cellular operation. (Regina Bailey Updated

Potato Catalysis Lab Pre-Lab Assignment Background Information: An enzyme is catalytic protein. It is the most important type of molecule found in living cells. Cells would not be able to function without enzymes. Enzymes speed up or slow down chemical reactions of the cells. It is usually easy to identify the names of enzymes because they end in -ase. The enzyme that acts upon the substrate hydrogen peroxide is usually called catalase. This enzyme is found in both plants and animals

Lab report nº4 The aim of this experiment was to observe the change of enzyme reaction with different concentration of solution. For this experiment we used potato enzymes (catalase) and hydrogen peroxide in concentrations of 100%‚ 80%‚ 60%‚ 40%‚ and 20% According to P.George: “When catalase is added to hydrogen peroxide‚ there is an initial rapid evolution of oxygen which lasts for about two minutes‚ depending on the peroxide concentration. After this‚ oxygen is given off at a steady rate which
