INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RATE OF ENZYME ACTIVITY. To investigate the effect that temperature has on enzyme activity I am going to use the enzyme amylase‚ which is used as a biological catalyst to break down starch‚ which cannot pass through the gut wall due to the size of the molecules‚ into smaller ones. Amylase is a carbohydrase‚ which converts starch to simple sugars in the Salivary Glands. Three features of all enzymes are: They are always proteins. They are specific

The Effect of Temperature on the Enzyme Catalase Stephen Francis Biology 183 Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the resultant effect of temperature change on the reaction between the enzyme catalase and hydrogen peroxide. This experiment was performed by measuring and comparing the amount of oxygen bubbles produced and the absorbance of the catalase and hydrogen peroxide solution over time at room temperature‚ 2°C‚ 50°C‚ and 60°C. The overall result of this experiment proved

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CORROSION OF CERMETS ALLOY ABSTRACT Tungsten carbides (WC) are widely used as wear resistant components such as seal‚ valves‚ rings‚ nozzle and bearings. But in some processing operations‚ the environment necessarily includes severe corrosion or extremes of temperatures. In this research‚ commercially cobalt tungsten carbide (WC-6%Co) and nickel tungsten carbide (WC-9%Ni) was examined in seawater (3.5% salinity) to know the effect of temperature on corrosion for both

Internal assessment on enzyme concentration Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts and they are the most important type of protein. My aim in this experiment was to investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of an enzyme (protease) – catalyzed reaction ‚ catalysts speed up chemical reactions . My hypothesis is that the rate as reaction will increase as the concentration of protease in the solution increases so it will take less time for

Experiment 1 : Design and preparation of buffers effective at different pHs Abstract The body uses natural buffers to maintain the many different pH environments in our body. This is important for optimum activity of our enzymes. When doing experiments in vitro using these enzymes it is important to mimic intracellular conditions using artificial buffer systems in order to obtain accurate results. In this experiment the buffering properties of three artificial buffer systems containing acetic

Analyzing the effects of varying hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentrations on the volume of its drop Jonah Jemina IB Chemistry SL 11 Mr. Eastwood Analyzing the effects of varying hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentrations on the volume of its drop Jonah Jemina Introduction: Hydrogen peroxide is a clear and colourless substance that has a strong oxidizing characteristic. From the books‚ “Hydrogen Peroxide: Medical Miracle”[1995] by Douglass and “Applications of hydrogen

is the temperature at which water changes phase from a liquid to a solid or vice versa. The freezing point describes the liquid to solid transition while the melting point is the temperature at which water goes from a solid (ice) to liquid water. In theory‚ the two temperatures would be the same‚ but liquids can be super cooled beyond their freezing points so that they don’t solidify until well below freezing point. Ordinarily the freezing point of water is 0° C or 32° F. The temperature may be lower

In the novel Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson‚ there are three main sections‚ Solid‚ Liquid‚ and Gas. The main character‚ Kate‚ is very interested in science and the three titles are a metaphor for her state of mind throughout the book. The first section‚ Solid‚ shows how Kate is a stable and strong person. The next section‚ Liquid‚ is a time where Kate’s life is very inconsistent and she is unsure about herself. The last section‚ Gas‚ shows how Kate has accepted her fate and tries to help everyone

An investigation into the effects of temperature on enzyme action An enzyme is a biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of reaction in certain biological functions. They play a vital role in many aspects of human physiology and are necessary for the functioning of a number of systems‚ for example in the digestive system to help to break down food. All enzymes have a unique active site that can fit on to a particular molecular arrangement on a target substrate; a substance e.g. carbohydrate
