Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the amount of activation energy needed to start the reaction and let the reaction occur at temperatures found in living cells. The way that enzymes do this is explained with the lock and key hypothesis. This hypothesis says enzymes have a specific shape called the active site which is different between different enzymes. Molecules called the substrate that participates in the reaction also have a specific shape that can

QUALITIES OF GOOD WATER by Dr. Robert O. Young There are many measurements of water‚ but the most important for determining the best water to drink are‚ the pH‚ oxidative reduction potential—or energy potential/activity—molecular structure‚ and purity. Science has helped us to determine that the best measurements for our drinking water are the pH and purity‚ but little understood is the importance of the molecular structure of water. Assuming that most waters that humans are drinking are purified

We will now take a small overview on history‚ physical properties ‚ chemical properties of DNA. Overview on History : DNA was first isolated by Friedrich Miescher ‚ who in 1869 discovered a microscopic substance in the pus of discarded surgical bandages that he called ‘NUCLEIN’ Finally in 1953‚ working together

IB Biology Sheran Gu Meghan Lena Nov. 15th Influence of pH on Enzyme Activities How does the pH of solution influence the speed of enzyme activities? Enzymes are protein catalysts and chemical that speed up chemical reaction without being involved in the reaction. They are involved in the human digestive system to help people digest food more efficient. Food are substrates to be break down and absorb through the digestive system in the body. Substrate is a molecule that bond with the active site

The Effects of Varying pH on Enzyme Activity A lab was conducted to test different pH balances on an enzyme. Introduction: Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. Enzymes are three-dimensional structures that consist of one or more polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains form an active site (where a substrate will fit into). Enzyme molecules are folded into a very specific shape held together by the different forces of attraction

used to do useful things such as propel an automobile or a 747. The principles of thermodynamics govern the conversion of thermal energy to other‚ more useful forms. For example‚ an automobile engine can be though of as a device which first converts chemical energy stored in fuel and oxygen molecules into thermal energy by combustion‚ and then extracts part of that thermal energy to perform the work necessary to propel the car forward‚ overcoming friction. Thermodynamics is critical to all steps in this
