Company Background The Australian Pineapple Products Exporting Company (APPEC) was incorporated in Central Queensland‚ Australia by a group of 10 top pineapple-growers and merchants (5 large individual growers‚ 1 large fruit merchant already exporting‚ 4 packing sheds representing groups of growers). These 10 pineapple-growers are among the best operators from each of the four main pineapple-growing districts‚ Central Queensland‚ North Queensland‚ Southern Queensland‚ and the Wide Bay area near

Enzyme Catalysis Lab Problem: Before the lab‚ one should understand: • The general functions and activities of enzymes; • The relationship between the structure and function of enzymes • The concept of initial reaction rates of enzymes; • How the concept of free energy relates to enzyme activity; • That change in temperature‚ pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ and substrate concentration can affect the initial reaction rates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions; and • Catalyst‚ catalysis‚ and catalase

reaction involves enzymes. So to understand how bleach works‚ we first understand how enzymes work. Enzymes Enzymes are the most important thing in our lives‚ it makes the world go ‘round! Enzymes are proteins that acts as catalysts and help combine or break down hydrogen peroxide. Imagine a pen with ink inside it‚ when you write‚ ink comes out‚ right? You can draw‚ you can write‚ then when you finish and get your pen off of the paper‚ the ink stops coming out. Enzymes are like that‚ they

Abstract: After reviewing the basics of enzymes and catalysis‚ we take a dive into the wonderful world of catalase. Beginning with establishing a base line of just how much hydrogen peroxide there is in 5.0mL of the reacted solution; to figuring out exactly how much actually reacted after 300 seconds of catalyzed reaction. Follow the experiment from the beginning steps right to the end as you see where the students went wrong‚ interpretation of the results‚ and great answers to work sheet

Conclusion and Discussion Introduction Background Information: This lab allowed us to study chemical reactions and how catalysts will affect the rate of these reactions. The reaction we studied is the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen and it is vital to life. The molecule hydrogen peroxide is a molecule that is toxic

Potato Enzyme Lab INTRODUCTION An enzyme is a protein that speeds up or slows down a specific chemical reaction in an organism. A good rule of thumb is to remember that enzyme names end in “-ase”. This will help in identifying enzymes in further readings. Generally enzymes are catalysts. Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic chemical that is produced in many organisms during metabolism. Organisms must get rid of this toxin to survive. One reaction turns the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The

Factors Affecting The rate of Enzyme Activity Prediction: As the temperature increases the rate of enzyme activity will also increase‚ thus increasing the rate of reaction. However‚ if the temperature is too high the enzyme will denature. Materials: 4 test tubes 2 small beakers A dozen filter paper disks Test tube rack Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) Potato extract Forceps Thermometer Hot plate Large beaker Ice cubes Graduated cylinder Stopwatch Procedure: Step 1 Place 10 mL of potato

This experiment was performed in order to analyze the effects of pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ and temperature on the catalytic rate on enzyme ALP. The initial experiment was done to approximate the optimum pH for the activity of the enzyme. The hypothesis was that alkaline phosphatase activity will be critically affected by pH effects. The hypothesis was valid because the data shows that the pH values for the acidic‚ basic‚ and neutral tubes increased over time‚ absorbing at similar rates. The basic

| [pic] Introduction Enzymes are catalysts which speed up a reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway of lower activation energy. But they do not undergo permanent changes and so they remain unchanged even at the end of the reaction. Many enzymes consist of proteins and non-proteins called the cofactor. The intra- and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary
