College General Biology I Enzymes‚ test for effect of pH on catalase activity Purpose The main purpose of this experiment was to learn about enzymes and how to test for the effect of pH on catalase activity and to be able to tell if a reaction is an exergonic or endergonic process. Introduction Enzymes are made from amino acids‚ which are made from proteins. In order to make an enzyme‚ hundreds of amino acids are strung together in a very specific and unique order and eventually is folded

Chapter 15 & 16: Temperature‚ Heat & Heat Transfer Temperature is a measure of the average (not total) translational kinetic energy. ●ex: there is 2x as much total molecular kinetic energy in a 2L of boiling water than one‚ but the temp of the two volumes are the same (average of translational kinetic energy per molecule is the same in each → Internal Energy- the total of all molecular energies: kinetic+potential (SAME TEMP) ● Ex: apply a flame to 1L h2o for a certain time and its temp rises

Monica Mahmoudi 02072798 Bandaruk Mon-Wed 12:45 PH Balance in the Human Body As we all know every solution is either acid or alkaline. Alkaline is often called base. These solutions can be anything from body fluids‚ to fruits‚ vegetables‚ seawater‚ beverages you name it. Acid and alkaline is measured in pH. It starts as low as zero being very acidic and works its way up to fourteen being the most basic. The pH of our stomach is 2‚ obviously to digest food‚ wine is 3.5‚water is 7(neutral)‚ arterial

Investigation on Effects of Different pH on Enzyme Activity How does the different pH buffers affect activity of potato enzyme/extract? Introduction: Proteins are polymers that are made up of smaller units/monomers called amino acids. There are 20 different types of amino acids‚ thus make up many different combinations in types‚ numbers of amino acids as well as their orders – an explanantion for why there are so many proteins. Every protein‚ due to various reactions of amino acids to each

Effects of Temperature and pH on Catalase Activity INTRODUCTION Enzymes are organic catalysts that spur metabolic reactions. The presence of an enzyme within a cell is essential in order for any sort of reaction to take place. All enzymes are complex proteins that act in an organism’s closely controlled internal environment. In such a homeostatic environment‚ the temperature and the pH (concentration of hydrogen ions)‚ remain within a fairly narrow range. Extreme variations in pH and temperature

THE EFFECT OF GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION ON ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION IN YEAST INTRODUCTION: Yeast‚ also known as a saccharomyces cerevisiae‚ is single celled eukaryotic cells that are in the kingdom fungi and are unicellular organisms which normally reproduce asexually by budding at a very high rate. Scientists quite often decide to work with yeast because of its features fast growing rate and the fact that yeast ’s DNA can be easily manipulated. Some types of yeast can be found naturally on plant or in

During this experiment the change in pH of Citric acids is measured from start to equilibrium in mL. This experiment was tested by titration it had two separate trials. Through observations it was shown that the more concentrated acids needed more drops of NaOH to reach its equilibrium then the less concentrated acids. Introduction Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base and when it is titrated with a strong acid the equivalence point will be expected to be a pH of 7 (wyzant.com‚ Feb. 12). NaOH

glucose to a solution of KMnO4 and H2SO4‚ the solution will turn colourless and it will take a specific time for the reaction to complete. By increasing the temperature‚ the time it takes (the rate) for the solution to completely change to colourless will be increased. Thus it can be said‚ that it is being hypothesized that an increase in temperature will cause an equal increase in the rate of the reaction. Method:1). Using a measuring cylinder‚ place 50 cm3 of sulphuric acid into a 250 cm3 beaker‚ add

Discussion: Shown in tables 1 and 2‚ the shoot heights‚ on average‚ of the barley seeds‚ increased as the Aquasol concentration increased. This is with the exception of the solution with an initial Aquasol concentration of 0.40% in Table 1‚ which showed to have‚ on average‚ shorter shoot heights in comparison to the solution with 0.25% Aquasol. Ultimately‚ this indicates that the experiment had random and systematic errors that affected the accuracy‚ reliability‚ validity‚ and precision of the results
