[1] They are small‚ membrane bounded organelles that have at least fifty different enzymes for several metabolic reactions. [2] Their appearance is like lysosomes; however‚ their main function is oxidation reactions especially oxidation of hydrogen peroxide and producing oxygen and water. There are diseases related and caused by this organelle that can be classified in three groups. [2] First group is a disorder duo to overall dysfunction of peroxisomes‚ like zellweger syndrome‚ second group duo

Objectives 1. To determine biochemical activities of microorganisms. 2. To observe the product of biochemical activities of microorganisms. 3. To learn the skills of inoculation agar tubes and agar plates. Introduction Microorganisms are able to carry out different biochemical activities with the ease of different enzymes. Each of these enzymes carries out one specific type of the chemical transformation. They convert substrates into product. A) Carbohydrates Fermentation Microorganisms utilize

Extracellular enzymes act outside producer cells e.g. digestive enzymes. Chemical composition * Enzymes are proteins made of amino acids linked and folded to produce a 3D structure specific to a certain substrate * Composed of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen and nitrogen * Each enzyme catalyses a distinct chemical reaction in which it combines with the substrate to form an enzyme substrate molecule upon which the substrate is broken down * One model used to illustrate the action of an

Introduction: Biological organisms are classified uniformly in order to easily categorize and identify organisms. This classification‚ or taxonomy‚ uses the genus name followed by the species name‚ in Latin. By having a universal method of identifying bacteria allows for all scientists from any part of the world to identify the same species in an identical manner allowing for a precise of classification. Bacteria are distributed throughout the world in almost every conceivable habit. Bacteria are

Methodology & Enzyme Activity Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to simply measure oxygen production rates released from decomposed hydrogen peroxide under different conditions (concentration of enzymes‚ temperature‚ and PH level). Hypothesis: Part a: If different amounts of enzyme solution are added to the hydrogen peroxide‚ then the highest amount of enzymes will have the greatest reaction rate because enzymes catalyze reactions‚ meaning more oxygen will be produced quicker

liquid was acidic or basic. Our results showed that if something came out to be seven or less‚ according to the pH scale‚ it means that an acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions. Because of this‚ when an acid is dissolved in water‚ the balance between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is shifted. Now there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions in the solution (2). A base can increase the pH level by providing hydroxide and then being removed. The buffer section of this lab was used to
