found that‚ in acidic pH environment‚ the reaction rate of starch being broken down by alpha amylase is less than that of the reaction rate at a neutral and slightly basic pH environment. This finding partially supports our hypothesis. The spectrophotometer readings in our experiment measured the absorbance of 3-amino-5-nitrosalicylic acid‚ a colored molecule formed after dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA) has reacted with the products of the enzymatic reaction or the simple sugars. Therefore‚ the absorbance

VARYING EFFECTS OF ENZYME CONCENTRATION ON REACTION RATES OF MALATE DEHYDROGENASE CELL BIOLOGY 13 NOVEMBER 2007 Enzymes are biological catalysts. They are proteins that speed up reactions with low concentrations. These enzyme proteins are made up of linkages of amino acids. The links coil‚ and coil again forming a tertiary structure. This structure has a groove in it called an active site. The active site is

Heart Rate Vs. Exercise & Gender Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to find out whether males or females of the same fitness levels had a higher increase in heart rate after performing the same exercise in the same amount of time. The hypothesis was that‚ with the same levels of fitness‚ females would have a higher heart rate. The main reason that this hypothesis was thought to be viable‚ was because females generally have higher heart rates than males due to their smaller heart size

designed to study the effect of exercise on skin temperature and heart rate. Studying the effect of exercise on skin temperature and heart rate yields understanding of how homeostasis is achieved in humans. This knowledge creates opportunity to discover more effective ways to return the human body to optimal functioning‚ rather than a reliance on natural processes. This experiment measured the change in skin temperature and heart rate of a chosen subject for four two-minute intervals of intense exercise

makes them highly specific and only work on one or a few similar chemical reactions. Enzymes themselves are not consumed in the reaction‚ but they help attract substrates into correct position to undergo chemical reaction. Enzymes greatly speed up the rate of biological reactions by lowering the energy of activation. To get a sense of the speed and efficiency of enzymes‚ substrates can be transformed to products at the rate of thousands of times per second with the enzymes. If we consider the total

Donald Trump: "I am the Law and Order Candidate" In a speech about veteran reforms‚ GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump began his remarks praising law enforcement by thanking them for protecting our communities under relentless criticism. "I would first like to address the contributions of another group who serve this country in uniform: the men and women in blue‚" Trump said to crowd gathered in Virginia Beach.

Ideal Gas Law Lab 1. Procedure: First‚ we used a balance to weigh the canister of gas‚ and recorded that mass as the original weight. Then‚ we filled a large bucket with water and recorded the temperature. We then filled a small test tube with water at the same temperature and poured that water into a graduated cylinder to measure the original volume of water in the tube. We then poured the water back into the test tube and placed the tube into the bucket with the opening upwards‚ turning the

ribosomes in a cell. They act as catalysts during biological reactions; therefore‚ enzymes are able to speed up these reactions without undergoing a permanent change themselves. These proteins are able to do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. To add on‚ enzymes require specific conditions under which they can work best. Reactions occur at faster rates when the temperature is higher. However‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is reduced or can be stopped if the temperature becomes
