was conducted to determine if the reaction rate changes in response to a variation of acidic‚ neutral‚ and basic solutions. The experimental results indicated that the basic/high pH solution has a faster rate of reaction in the solution. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that catalyze and convert molecules into combinations of other molecules which is necessary for the functions of human life. These enzymes are affected in the presence of a high concentration of Hydrogen ions resulting in a

an Increasing Substrate Concentration on Enzyme Activity Rate Abstract The reaction rate of an enzyme can be affected by many factors‚ and the purpose of this experiment was to find out how an increasing substrate concentration influences the rate of an enzyme activity; we obtained data from recording the absorbance of the samples which contain the same amount of potato juice (enzyme oxidase) and different amount of catechol (substrate) while holding pH and temperature constant. Our findings illustrate

Chloroplasts only absorb certain wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum‚ the blue followed by the red are the two main wavelengths absorbed (Melis‚ et al.‚ 1987). The experiment was designed to investigate which wavelengths would result in the highest rate of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a

These variables allowed for the experiment to be conducted accurately‚ with unexpected results. This is due to the enzymes being most active at 60ᵒC‚ it was that results were going to be most active at the 41ᵒC which is close to human body temperature. When we compare the enzyme in the low temperatures to the enzymes in the higher temperature we observed that the enzymes were

carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis is a process that is essential for every living organism. Organic substances‚ such as glucose‚ are made from carbon dioxide and water by light energy from the sun. The light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy. During the process‚ oxygen is released as a by-product. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by a few of factors‚ including light intensity‚ temperature‚ availability

aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect that a glucose concentration has on the rate of fermentation. This was done by adding a variety of different glucose concentration into a test tube‚ siting in a water bath. The carbon dioxide would be collected in the test tube and therefore would measure the rate of fermentation. The results parsley supported the hypothesis that‚ “If the glucose concentration increases‚ the rate of fermentation increases‚ therefore the more carbon dioxide released”

Effects of Particle Size‚ Temperature‚ Concentration‚ and a Catalyst on Reaction Rate Introduction: Chemical reactions can be affected by a number of different factors. Particle size‚ temperature‚ concentration of a solution‚ and catalysts play a big role in the rate of reaction‚ they determine how fast a reaction will occur. According to the collision theory‚ the rate of reaction depends on the frequency of effective collisions between particles. Every reaction is different in that they all
