Experiment 4 – Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim To study the effects of temperature on the activity of amylase enzyme on starch solution. Introduction Enzymes are widely known as biological catalyst. Almost all cellular reactions are controlled and guarded by enzymes. Virtually every metabolic reaction which takes place within a living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Enzymes are complex three-dimensional globular proteins. Some of the enzymes are built up off proteins and some

Temperature and enzyme activity Aim: To determine the effect of which the temperature of the enzyme has on the rate of the enzyme catalysed reaction. Hypothesis: The rate of reaction of an enzyme catalysed reaction will increase as the temperature of the enzyme approaches the optimum temperature. Surpassing the optimum temperature will result in a drop in enzyme activity. Materials: 6% hydrogen peroxide Liver suspension 10 test tubes 4 beakers Thermometers Measuring cylinders Test

Cells are the structural and functional units of all living organisms; each specialised to perform dedicated duties throughout their life span. All living organisms can be sorted into one of two groups depending on the fundamental structure of their cells. These two groups are the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes. A Prokaryote cell is the first form of cells for many millions of years until the eukaryote cell evolved from the prokaryote cell‚ which created life. Prokaryote cells are organisms made

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the amount of activation energy needed to start the reaction and let the reaction occur at temperatures found in living cells. The way that enzymes do this is explained with the lock and key hypothesis. This hypothesis says enzymes have a specific shape called the active site which is different between different enzymes. Molecules called the substrate that participates in the reaction also have a specific shape that can

Enzymes are a major role in the process of accelerating chemical reactions. Environmental factors affect the enzymes‚ These environmental factors include ph levels and body temperature. While both of these environmental factors affect the enzyme‚ body temperature affects the enzymes the most and can result in death. Enzymes are affected by high body temperature. Enzymes are highly specific and they work at certain temperature levels depending if it’s hot or cold. However‚ when the

There are COX enzyme isoforms include COX-1 and COX-2. (Figure 3.8) These enzymes originate from different genes and have distinct tissue-specific expressions and biologic functions. COX-1 is constitutively expressed in most tissues and believed to responsible for the production of prostanoids in homeostasis‚ such as gastric epithelial cytoprotection and renal blood flow maintenance. COX-2 expression is inducibly expressed only at marginal levels under condition in many tissues and is upregulated

pH Affecting on Amylase Enzyme Is there a difference in the concentration of pH in the amylase enzyme activity? The null hypothesis would be that there will be no difference in the concentration of pH and alternative hypothesis would be that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The predication if that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The pH affects on enzyme activities‚ one of the enzyme that was used in the process was amylase.
