The Effects on Enzymes By Bailey Rose The Effects on Enzymes Bailey Rose 10/31/2011 Abstract In this lab exercise‚ the study of enzyme catalase‚ we viewed the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme Concentration were the conditions tested in the experiment. Our class performed

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

Digestion and Enzymes – APP. Hypothesis: The enzyme‚ Amylase which is used to break down carbohydrates will work the best when heated at 40°C. Also‚ as the temperature increases the reaction rate of amylase increases too. However‚ the reaction rate of amylase will start decreasing when the temperature reaches the enzyme’s optimal temperature. Many enzymes are specific for a certain substrate. For example‚ lipase is a specific enzyme for fat substrates and protease‚ a specific enzyme for protein

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

Meerra Gandi‚ Erin Barody‚ Samantha Gutcho Title: The Effect of Adjusted Concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide on the change in reaction rate of liver catalase. Hypothesis: Null Hypothesis: If the concentration of the Hydrogen Peroxide is changed then there would be no change in the reaction rate. Alternate Hypothesis 1: I there is an increase in concentration in concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide then the reaction rate of the liver catalase will increase. Alternate Hypothesis 2: If there is an increase

The experimental results were different from the hypothesis because while the enzyme appeared to not work as well‚ I expected a more significant change. Most of the time‚ there was only a millimeter of difference of the foam between the two samples while I expected a greater difference such as 10 millimeters. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions and at the active site‚ a substrate can be broken down or two substrates can form a larger molecule. Hydrogen peroxide is broken down by peroxidase into water

Enzyme Lab Using Jello INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are known as protein catalysts. The name protein catalyst suggests that most enzymes are made of proteins. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. (Giuseppe‚ M 2002‚ p.69). After a reaction has been catalyzed‚ the catalyst can be used again to catalyze the same reaction. Enzymes reduce the activation energy (minimal energy) it takes for a reaction to take place. Enzymes can either catabolize
