Effect of different temperatures on the rate of an enzyme controlled reaction I will place starch and amylase into five water baths which are at different temperatures‚ and record the time it takes to break down the starch in the solution. Independent variables The independent variable is what I am going to change in my experiment. In this case it is the temperature of the water in the five water baths- 10‚ 25‚ 40‚ 55‚ 70 degrees Celsius Dependant variable This is what will stay the

protease enzyme on exposed developed film Plan Aim: The aim of the experiment is to find out what effect temperature has on the action of a protease enzyme on exposed developed film. Enzymes are biological catalysts. They are made in livings things built up by amino acids to make protein. Enzymes are able to speed up reactions and can repeat reactions. There are various factors that affect the activity of enzymes they are: "Y Temperature "Y pH "Y Specificity "Y Concentration of enzyme or substrate

Investigating the Effect of Concentration on the Rate of Enzyme Catalysed Reaction To investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of enzyme catalysed reaction I must know all the factors that affect it in order to investigate in this. Here are all the factors: Temperature- Enzyme like it warm but not too hot. Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which speed up chemical reactions. They work most efficiently at the optimum point (37°C). If they are below 37°C they will work

on the reaction rate of an enzyme IB biology Internal Assessment 3/23/12 Research Question: Effect of changes in substrate concentration amount on the reaction rate of an enzyme Introduction: In this experiment‚ the substrate is hydrogen peroxide. The purpose of this investigation is to find out the relationship between the substrate concentration and the rate of reaction. Substrates are molecules that are acted upon by enzymes. For instance‚ amylase‚ an enzyme found in saliva‚ helps break

Question Give an account of how enzymes work with particular reference to factors that affect their activities. Answer All living things require catalysts to catalyse the reaction which they carry out to survive. Enzymes are the catalysts of biological systems without enzymes reactions in cells would occur all much to slow a rate and the organism would not survive. Most enzymes‚ with the exception of some RNA catalysts‚ are proteins. They often require a co factor such as zinc or iron‚ or a complete organic

of Reaction of Enzyme Amylase Research Question: How will changing the percentage of sodium chloride concentration affect the rate of reaction of enzyme amylase‚ measured using the absorbance of starch and iodine with a spectrophotometer. Introduction: Amylase is an enzyme that is involved in the human digestive process. Found in both the human pancreas and the human saliva‚ amylase breaks down starch into sugar so that large molecules can be easily digested1. Like all enzymes‚ amylase must

Enzyme concentrations Hypothesis The higher the concentration of protease enzyme the higher the rate of breakdown of the egg white. This is because egg white is mainly formed of collagen‚ which is a protein‚ which is what the enzyme protease breaks down. The more enzyme there is the more enzyme substrate complexes are formed which break down peptide links between the monomers of the protein accelerating the amount of protein broken down in a space of time. How the results will be obtained
