LAB: Substrate Concentration Affecting the Rate of Enzyme Activity: Through the Experiment of Beef Liver Puree and Hydrogen Peroxide Research Question Does different amount of substrate affect the rate of enzyme activities? Purpose To examine how different types of concentration (Hydrogen Peroxide) affect the rate of enzyme activity. Hypothesis We believe that if there is more substrate concentrated‚ then there will be an increase in the rate of enzyme activity. This is because

Abstract: Enzymes‚ molecules that speed up chemical reactions‚ are specific to one substrate. In this experiment the substrate hydrogen peroxide and the enzyme catalase will be used. The higher the concentration of potato extract‚ or catalase‚ the faster the reaction and the more substrate present will result in a decrease in the time of the reaction. The amount of concentrations of enzymes and substrates are changed to determine if the reaction is further catalyzed by a greater concentration of

BIO 5 Lab Report: Lactase Enzymes Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants. Enzymes consist of various types of proteins that work to drive the chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. Enzymes can either launch a reaction or speed it up. The chemicals that are transformed with the help of enzymes are called substrates. In the absence of enzymes‚ these chemicals are called reactants. Enzymes are thought to have an area with a very particular shape. When a molecule of

correlation between catalase concentration and the rate of reaction. This occurs because as the enzyme concentration increases‚ there are more enzymes available to catalyze substrates. More enzymes means more reactions can take place at a time‚ thus a faster rate of reaction. Overall‚ based on the results of table 2.0 and graph 2.0‚ it is prevalent that there is a positive correlation between the concentration of enzymes and the rate of

Lab report April 14‚ 2013 Abstract: In this article‚ we will experiment on the significant in strength of the enzyme by using three different test tubes and measuring the amount of product they give off. To determine this we are going to test the amount of color absorbance by using a special tool to help us understand our results. We will see how our end results show the effect of the amount of concentration we apply to each test tube. The results would be shown by the support of two graphs

Danny Fish 10/9/11 Chemical Testing To identify An Unknown The hypothesis tested was that depending on the solution presented‚ which would test positive for one of the following‚ proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ or lipids through use of chemical testing. (Sudan IV‚ Benedicts’ Solution‚ Iodine‚ Biuret’s) . In order to gain more information for the hypothesis‚ one must know how to test for said macromolecule. Each of the above stated molecules has their own individual solution that will in turn identify

for the effects of temperature on the enzyme activity was that the reaction’s rate would increase as the temperature increased‚ until they go over the optimum temperature where the enzymes denature and the reaction’s rate quickly drops to zero. At 5 degree C the rate is 0.00059mole PNP/min. This then increases to 0.01031mmoles PNP/min at a temperature of 50 degree C. The rate then drops drastically to -0.00215moles PNP/min. This point is where the enzymes have been denatured and have no activity

Enzymes are organic catalysts; where a substance speeds up the rate of chemical reactions without changing being changed by the reactions. In lab they tested this by seeing how H2O2 and the catalysts from the banana and liver react to make H2O+O2. Depending on different conditions; like decomposition of H2O2 (surface area)‚ temperature on function‚ reusing the catalase‚ reaction rate of iced liver returned to room temperature‚ and effects of pH on enzyme activity‚ to see how much O2 was released

Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity Abstract: In the following lab factors affecting enzyme activity‚ temperature‚ pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration and surface area will be tested on a beef liver enzyme to see if there will be any effect of performance. By doing 2 or more trials the results will show whether there is an effect to the enzyme from the following factors or not. Some of the factors may denature the enzyme and some will do nothing. Using a table qualitative and the
Premium Enzyme Chemical reaction Chemical equilibrium
Introduction Enzymes are key players in metabolism. A metabolism is the organic processes in a cell or an organism that are necessary for life. An enzyme affects the rate at which a reaction occurs when the activation energy is lowered. In this reaction the reactant is called the substrate which is that combine with enzymes molecules to form a temporary enzyme substrate complex. During this products are formed and the enzyme molecules released is unchanged. For the substrate complex to form the
