    Nicole Mikulis Unit: Biochemistry Sept 14 2012 Lab: Effect of temperature and pH on catalase activity BACKGROUND Catalase is an enzyme that detoxifies chemicals that might harm the cell such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The enzyme breaks H2O2 into water and oxygen. The production of the oxygen gas bubbles serves as evidence that the catalase enzyme is working. As catalase is breaking the bonds between H2O2‚ it is releasing energy in the form of heat which is reason for

    Factors which Affect the Activity of the Enzyme Catalase Purpose: Must include:  background information about concepts involved in the lab‚  statement of purpose of the lab  identification of independent and dependent variables. A hypothesis is often not necessary or appropriate. Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in cells. They break down molecules called substrates. Each enzyme has only one substrate that it breaks down. Enzymes are produced in the cells of the body

    Investigation into how pH levels affect Catalase activity in potato samples – (enzymes) Introduction: The aim of this investigation is to understand and monitor the effects pH levels have on catalase activity within controlled potato samples. Catalase is a type of enzyme that is found widespread among organisms that grow in the presence of oxygen (almost all living things) its specific use is to speed up the decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) within cells. Hydrogen peroxide is a bi-product

    Biology “Enzyme Activities” Introduction: Enzymes have extremely interesting properties that make them little chemical-reaction machines. The purpose of an enzyme in a cell is to allow the cell to carry out chemical reactions very quickly. These reactions allow the cell to build things or take things apart as needed. This is how a cell grows and reproduces. At the most basic level‚ a cell is really a little bag full of chemical reactions that are made possible by enzymes (Brain). Laboratory

    until the enzyme reaches its optimum point of saturation‚ after which any increase in the substrate concentration will no longer affect the rate of reaction. The independent variable in this investigation is the varying concentrations of the substrate (Hydrogen Peroxide: 1%‚ 3%‚ 5% and 6%)The dependent variable was the rate of enzyme catalase activity‚ which was measured by the volume of froth produced after one minute.The concentration and volume of liver extract (source of catalase) used was kept

    [Name] [Teacher] [Course] [Date] Catalase Lab Report An enzyme is something that helps to speed up a chemical reaction. The enzyme changes from reaction to reaction‚ but it always has the same impact. However‚ certain variables may cause the enzyme to have a more or less significant impact on the speed of each reaction. One of these variables that changes the effectiveness of an enzyme is temperature. There is an optimal functioning temperature for each enzyme in each reaction‚ depending on the

    OF CATALASE REACTION IN HYDROGEN PEROXIDE INTRODUCTION Enzymes function similarly to a lock a key mechanism where only one specific key will work (U and Fischer‚ 1994). An enzyme is a macromolecule that acts to increase the rate of either a substrate breaking down into two or more products‚ or where two substrates join up to form one product (Dundon‚ 2018). These enzymes perform this by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur under normal conditions. For the enzymes to lower

    affect the optimum operation of enzymes. These condition include temperature‚ enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration‚ acidity‚ salinity‚ and any present activators/inhibitors. In this particular lab‚ temperature was the environmental factor studied. More specifically‚ the enzyme catalase and its substrate hydrogen peroxide were tested under different temperatures. It was discovered that‚ temperature can affect the optimum operation of enzymes; The enzyme catalase has an optimum operation condition

    when different concentrations of catalase are added with hydrogen peroxide. Aim: To see if changing the concentration of catalase (found in celery) with hydrogen peroxide affects the amount of oxygen given of. Background Information: (Hydrogen peroxide - H2O2 1/2O2+H2O) Enzymes: Hundreds of chemical reactions happen simultaneously inside living cells and it’s the job of enzymes to control and regulate the various metabolic activities. Enzymes are biochemical catalysts‚ which

    What is Enzyme? Enzymes are protein that acts as speed up reactions and break down molecules in our body. However‚ different enzymes only work on certain types of molecules. Enzymes can accelerate the reactions by more than one million times.(3) In our human body‚ there are a total about forty thousand types of enzymes and each catalyzes different kind of molecule.(3) The molecules that enzymes help to accelerate is called substrates‚ and when enzyme is combined together with the substrate‚ it
