Substrate concentration and yeast catalase Aim: To see how the substrate concentration in hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of an enzyme controlled reaction using yeast catalase. Introduction: An enzyme is a biological catalyst made of protein. Enzymes are protein molecules found in living organisms and in this case I will use a yeast catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a poisonous by-product of metabolism‚ so it is very

ANALYSIS ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIONS ON AIR POLLUTION Lu Li‚ Zhaowei Liu ECON508: Applied econometrics May 10‚ 2013 Abstract In China‚ many environmental problems have been ignored when it mainly focused on a higher pace of economic growth for a long time. In this paper‚ we aim at finding the relationship between air pollutions and its potential contributor—industrial development. And we are also interested in finding out which

Enzymes and Their Importance in Plants and Animals Enzymes are large proteins that are responsible for catalysing thousands of metabolic processes that sustain life. Enzymes work similarly to those catalysts used in industry by lowering activation energy and therefore dramatically speeding up the rate of a reaction‚ however‚ these biological catalysts are highly selective to their substrate. Almost every chemical reaction that occurs in a cell requires enzymes in order to occur at rates required

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Concentration has been defined as the ability to direct one’s thinking in whatever direction one would intend. Concentration plays vital roles in doing well in studies. A student has to work really hard and concentrate firmly to get concepts well in mind. All students have the ability to concentrate some of the time. But at other times students’ thoughts are scattered‚ and their minds race from one thing to another. They don’t have the ability to

1. A) I would expect the active site of nylonase to consist mainly of polar amino acids with a few nonpolar amino acids as well because the substrate for nylonase is polar overall‚ but has many nonpolar bonds. What makes me think that the nylonase enzyme is polar is that the substrate that would bind to the active site of nylonase has extreme polarity between carbon and oxygen‚ and between hydrogen and nitrogen due to their differences in electronegativity’s‚ but it still has the nonpolar bonds between

GAS LAWS Properties of Gases Gases expand into any available volume • gas molecules escape from open containers. Gases are completely miscible • once mixed they will not spontaneously separate. Gases are described in terms of T‚ P‚ V and n Volume‚ Amount and Temperature • A gas expands uniformly to fill the container in which it is placed – The volume of the container is the volume of the gas – Volume may be in liters‚ mL‚ or cm3 • The temperature of a gas must be indicated

THE PERIODIC TABLE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The idea that all things are elements or combinations of elements can be found in the writings of the ancient Greeks and other early peoples. Although this idea may seem simple‚ it is very difficult to decide if a substance is indeed an element or a compound. There were twelve chemical elements discovered in ancient times‚ but it was not known that they were elements. Another 76 elements were discovered between 1557 and 1925. Many mistakes were made in

Observation #1 * The cracker turned a black colour when the Lugol’s solution was added to it. This was a positive result‚ meaning that the cracker contains starch. Test #2 * Add a bigger piece of cracker in test tube #2‚ add 5 mL of Benedict’s solution‚ place in a boiling water bath‚ and record observations
