show the rate at which starch is broken down.1 This occurs when polyiodide chains are formed from starch and iodine. However‚ as starch is hydrolyzed into smaller carbohydrate units‚ the blue-black color does not appear. Therefore‚ using this iodine test‚ the effects of pH on the function of amylase can be determined by the time it takes (if at all) for the iodine to remain its orange-yellow color.2 Hypothesis Enzymes must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level.

are many conditions of the environment that can affect the optimum operation of enzymes. These condition include temperature‚ enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration‚ acidity‚ salinity‚ and any present activators/inhibitors. In this particular lab‚ temperature was the environmental factor studied. More specifically‚ the enzyme catalase and its substrate hydrogen peroxide were tested under different temperatures. It was discovered that‚ temperature can affect the optimum operation of enzymes;

The main purpose of this lab is to explain what emulsifiers and emulsions are and how emulsifiers affect emulsion stability. An emulsion is a mix of to or more liquids that usually do not mix together. One liquid is evenly dispersed in small droplets throughout the other liquid. Many emulsions contain water as one of the phases. There are two different types of emulsions. One type of emulsion contains oil droplets that are dispersed within water. It is considered oil in water emulsion. The other

The enzyme lab was also about measuring reactions by capturing the oxygen that was generated by the reaction. Materials and Methods: Experiment 1‚ 2‚ & 3 Experiment 1 examined the effects of concentration on catalase activity. Experiment 2 examined the effects of concentration in temperature

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

ACS proteins can be divided into 3 groups (type-1‚ 2 & 3) based on their C-terminal domain and the presence of phosphorylation sites. Type-1 and -2 ACS isoforms contain phosphorylation sites for kinases‚ but type-3 lacks of the phosphorylation sites.

BIOLOGY LAB REPORT (UNIT 7: ENZYMES) GENERAL Enzymes are protein that acts as catalyst‚ lowering the activation energy need for reactions to progress in cells. The reaction can still occur without the presence of the enzyme‚ but at a much slower rate. The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy need for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding from a given set of reactants. In enzymatic reactions‚ we have substrates which are reactants of reaction bound to an enzyme. While an active site

energy for specific reactions and shapes. Activation energy is required to start a chemical reaction. This occurs when energy is added to reactants. Amino acid chains are made up by their unique folds which results in formation. Since enzymes are proteins‚ each one consists of its own amino acid in a specific order. Since hydrogen bonds are weak‚ they form between amino

Lab 2 Tensile Test Abstract The aim behind this experiment was to put Mild steel‚ copper and aluminium through a tensile test‚ with Mild steel being tabulated and graphed to show its properties and how they could be used in the real world. Introduction/Theory Tensile testing is one of the most simple and widely used materiel tests available. It is used to characterize the mechanical properties of the material and has direct implications on the design and construction of the end product. This test
