Abstract: This lab tests how temperature and pH affect how enzymes will function. The lab showed that temperature will denature an enzyme when past its optimal working temperature and won’t denature in cold temperatures‚ but have slowed molecular activity. pH will also have an affect on an enzymes efficiency‚ when out of optimal pH the enzyme will not function as it is supposed to and if to far out of the optimal pH the enzyme will change shape and no longer work. Enzymes also showed to be reusable

The potato’s introduction into Europe proves to be one of the most significant examples of a foreign food crop being able to extensively affect the lives of a an Old World Population. Before the assimilation of the potato crop into the majority of Europe’s agricultural landscape‚ peasant populations constantly faced famines while current food sources provided little nutritional value and were not efficient sources of energy. As Europe adopted the brown tuber‚ people were provided with a far more

BIOLOGY IA A Factor That Will Affect Enzyme Activity The Question Effects on Enzyme activity: investigating the effects of mixing Hydrogen Peroxide with Catalase extracted from potatoes at different temperatures‚ and then comparing the results with the same method‚ except to replace the Potato juice with MnO2 Hypothesis Since enzymes are a type of protein‚ they will be destroyed at high temperatures and activity rates will go down at low temperatures. Also‚ if done at low temperature

| [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

The Potato Epidemic One fine morning in the Kingdom of Sandwiches‚ SandwichKing and Sandwich‚ his pet‚ were going for a walk. Suddenly‚ green potatoes‚ “The SWAT‚” came out of nowhere and asked a million questions about mashed potatoes? Then suddenly‚ as fast as they had appeared‚ they disappeared. “Who was that?” asked SandwichKing‚ “And what do they want with mashed potatoes? Whatever.” Then SandwichKing and Sandwich continued on their walk. The next day‚ when SandwichKing looked out his window

Potato Batteries: Veggie power! Data and Analysis Background The battery was invented around 1800 by Alessandro Volta in Italy. It has become an indispensable part of modern life. Why are batteries so useful? Because they convert chemical energy into electrical energy. You can use this electrical energy to light a flashlight‚ to start a car‚ or to listen to your favorite music. We made a simple battery out of a potato by placing in it a zinc strip and a copper strip. At the zinc strip‚ the

Enzymes are naturally occurring biological catalysts that are extremely efficient and specific. Enzymes accelerate the rate of a reaction by factors of at least a million as compared to the same reaction without the enzyme. Most biological reaction rates are not perceivable in the absence of the enzyme. The term enzyme was first used by a German pshysiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1897. There are over 700 different kinds of enzymes that have been identified. Enzymes can be classified into several categories

introduction to enzymes Enzymes are the foundation of energy and the life force in all living things. They are responsible for building‚ detoxifying‚ and healing the body. They are also the force that allows your body to digest and absorb food. Enzymes also regulate tens of thousands of other biochemical functions that take place in the body every day. Without enzymes‚ seeds would not sprout‚ fruit would not ripen‚ leaves would not change color‚ and life would not exist. Therefore‚ the study of enzymes has
