reaction rates of the enzyme catalase over a fixed period of time. The major conclusion was that catalase reacts faster in warm temperatures that are neither freezing nor boiling‚ catalase performs well in lower concentrations than the substrate‚ and catalase prefers neutral pH levels around 7. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that catalyze metabolic reactions vital for the survival and functioning of cells [1]. Without enzymes‚ metabolic processes would occur at unfeasible rates. Catalase

Homeostasis –Urine Analysis OBJECTIVES 1) To know know the various urine components 2) To detect abnormal constituents 3) To get a brief introduction on clinical biochemistry INTRODUCTION Homeostasis mechanism of human body will regulate the osmotic pressure of the blood. This function is carried out by the kidneys‚ that will filter blood and produces urine through three stages: ultrafiltration‚ reabsorption and secretion. The end product of the process will produce urine‚ which contains

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

Experimental Laboratory Report: An investigation into the rate of osmosis Liana Gohery - 98332250 12/12/2014 Word count - ………3000……….. 1. Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the effect of concentration gradients on the rate of osmosis. Osmosis is the cellular transport of water‚ this study was conducted to show the significance of the rate at which this occurs. Dialysis bags were filled with three different concentrations of sucrose solutions and two with water. They were

oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ helium‚ and lab gas. We took a Ziplock bag‚ and turned into a non-stretchy balloon‚ and filled with each gas and measured the apparent mass then calculated the actual mass‚ then find a ratio between the mass of oxygen and the other gasses. We tried to keep the pressure about the same each time so our calculations would be more accurate. We found out that the heaviest was carbon dioxide‚ and the lightest was helium. In fact‚ helium and lab gas had a density below 0. Anyways

The Vmax of the uninhibited reactions was 2.41 mL/s and the Km was 7.033M (figures 3.3 and 3.4). Generally‚ reaction rate increased with substrate concentration. Experiment V: The substrate concentration with the fastest initial reaction velocity was 30% (8.8M) at 0.905 mL/s and the substrate concentration with the slowest initial reaction velocity was 3% (0.882M) at

Standards of caffeine were also prepared that contained 4‚8‚12‚16 and 20 mg/L in 0.10M HCl. All other standards were prepared by other lab groups. These standards were used to obtained a series of calibration curves.
