The Effects of Heat on the pH of the Vegetable and Their Pigment PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to see how pH levels of certain vegetables change while being cooked in four different mediums (frying‚ boiling‚ steaming‚ roasting)‚ and how the varying pH levels change the coloring of the vegetables. We will analyze how the different method of cooking/heating changes the levels of pH. BACKGROUND INFORMATION This experiment is based around the different pigments in vegetables‚ of which

Effects of Temperature‚ pH‚ Boiling‚ and Hydroxylamine on the Enzyme Peroxidase Extracted From Brassica rapa Abstract In this experiment the enzyme peroxidase was extracted from from a turnip‚ Brassica rapa‚ and tested under different conditions. The effects of temperature‚ boiling‚ pH‚ and a competitive inhibitor were tested. The enzyme was tested at temperatures of 4°C‚ 24°C‚ 32°C‚ and 48°C. As the temperature increased‚ so did the activity of the enzyme

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

Saliva Lab Since the amylase enzyme is present in saliva‚ starch digestion begins in the mouth. Salivary amylase changes the polysaccharide starch into many disaccharide molecules of maltase (a simple sugar) which are further broken down into glucose units by maltase enzyme in the As stated above‚ saliva contains the amylase enzyme which begins the breakdown of starches. The efficiency of starch digestion by amylase can be measured by how much simple sugar it produces under

The effect of enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration‚ pH‚ and temperature on the enzyme catalase. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts; proteins and RNA. They are required for most biological reactions and they are highly specific. Each enzyme has an active site. The active site is the spot on the enzyme where a substrate fits in. Substrates binds with enzymes through the active site. Enzymes‚ being highly specific‚ only fit with one certain substrate. Enzymes and substrates

Title: Acetone Lab Purpose: Use Table M and various indicators to determine the pH of acetone Equipment: Test tubes‚ test tube rack‚ acetone‚ various indicators‚ tweezers Procedure: 1. Fill each test tube with a few drops of acetone 2. Put 2 drops of an indicator into 1 of the test tubes 3. Record color change 4. Determine the pH range based on the color change using Table M and record data 5. Repeat for each indicator 6. To test litmus‚ dip red and blue litmus into acetone and determine

Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme Concentration were the conditions tested in the experiment. Each lab was assigned to a group A‚ B‚ C and D in our class performed this experiment. The data presented in this report will reflect the average rates of change in O2 ml/min of our class results. In the later discussion sections‚ it will become

Introduction Enzymes are proteins produced by living organisms to speed up the rate in which chemical reactions occur. This process can happen fast‚ slowly‚ or stop the chemical reaction all together depending on the temperature‚ pH and concentration. Catalase is one of the most common enzymes. It is found in living organisms and is used to break down hydrogen peroxide. This must happen because hydrogen peroxide is considered toxic to cells in the body. However‚ when catalase is used it breaks

1. Are any of the lab values in Table 1 out of normal range? Are they too high or too low? Her serum creatinine is high. Creatinine is completely filtered from the blood (not as well of a marker for kidney function as inulin because some is secreted‚ but still a good marker of kidney function) and excreted in urine so for her to have more than 0.6-1.2mg/dL in her blood is not normal. Her blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels are also very high. They should only be around 7-18 mg/dL. Her serum calcium

Eilisha Joy Bryson MISEP Chemistry 512 – Jacobs Enzyme Catalyst Lab - Formal Report – August 8‚ 2007 ABSTRACT This investigation examined what would happen to the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction if the concentration of substrate changed. We hypothesized that if the concentration increased‚ then the reaction rate would also increase. To test our question‚ we varied a combination of substrate and buffer‚ totaling 6mL‚ with a constant amount of 2 drops of catalyst. The enzyme catalyst
