exercise we studied enzyme catalase‚ which accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. The laboratory was also conducted in association with a second laboratory that measured the effects of an inhibitor on the enzymes. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme Concentration were the conditions tested in the experiment. Each lab was assigned

Lab Report: Toothpickase and Enzymes September 19‚ 2012 Olivia DePhillips Lab Partner: Joy Morgan Meyers Signature: Introduction Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions‚ the molecules at the beginning of the process‚ called substrates‚ are converted into different molecules‚ called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Like all catalysts‚ enzymes work

Abstract This lab was focused on determining the optimal temperature of the enzyme amylase responsible for catabolizing starch polymers and to see how different temperatures affected the rate as well as how effectively the enzyme worked. To proceed with the experiment the group set up four different test tubes for each‚ bacteria and fungal amylase‚ and labeled them accordingly with different temperatures as well as different solutions . Then the spot plates were placed on the time and temperature

Purpose The purpose of this catalase lab is to design simple experiments to demonstrate how various factors affect the rate of enzyme activity. This lab shows how the enzyme decomposes in hydrogen peroxide.

Digestion Lab Abstract – The purpose of this lab was to understand how different solutions played a role in the digestion protein. By looking at different variables‚ such as temperature‚ and pH we’re capable of understanding just how certain substances functioned and when they didn’t. The data for all labs are clear and concise and give a clear understanding of what solutions work best. All three labs were placed in a warm water bath set at 37’C to stimulate the reaction as if it were taking place

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS Mouth -the oral cavity or the mouth contains salivary glands that secrete a wide range of enzymes to aid the first step of metabolism of food. The salivary gland secretes the enzyme lysozyme which has an antibacterial action. The enzymes secreted by the mouth mainly provide protection against bacteria. Betaine helps to maintain a fluid balance inside the mouth. The lists of digestive enzymes secreted by the oral cavity are mentioned in the table. Enzymes | Function

Taylor Hill Lab 6: Enzymes Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to test for enzyme activity‚ look at enzyme specificity‚ and how temperature affects enzyme activity. Hypothesis: I believe that the room temperature activity will produce the most activity. Materials: 3% hydrogen peroxide‚ a household blender‚ potatoes (3 medium size potatoes‚ that are peeled and quartered)‚ tap water‚ 8 test tubes‚ 8 transfer pipets‚ sugar packets‚ salt‚ a small saucepan‚ a refrigerator with a freezer‚ stove

Adding Enzymes to Improve Beef Tenderness By Chris R. Calkins‚ Ph.D. and Gary Sullivan‚ University of Nebraska Importance of Beef Tenderness Beef palatability is affected by many factors and tenderness is cited as one of the most important. Consumers are willing to pay a premium for a guaranteed tender product with the potential to increase the value of the middle meats over $60 per carcass (Miller et al.‚ 2001). Consequently‚ the meat industry is in a continual search for methods to improve the

Toxicology Lab 1. In this investigation‚ a wide range of concentrations of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution were created and the effects that they had on radish seeds were tested. This ultimately created a doseresponse experiment in which it was detectable whether or not radish seeds were a reliable bioassay for the toxicity of NaCl. The goal of this experiment was to determine a correlation between toxicity and seed germination/radicle
