    of temperature on amylase activity Introduction Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylases are found in almost all plants‚ animals and microorganisms. Large amounts of amylase occur in germinating cereals‚ and in the pancreas and saliva of higher animals. Aim The aim of this experiment is to find out the rate of reaction between amylase and starch in a range of different reaction temperatures. Hypothesis As the reaction temperature of

    The aim of the experiment is to test the effect temperature has on the activity of the enzyme rennin. Hypothesis: I believe the rate of reaction will speed up as the temperature increases until it reaches about 37oC‚ which is the body temperature‚ where it will begin to slow down and stop reacting. I believe this will occur because enzymes have a temperature range at which they work best in and once the temperature goes out of this range the enzyme will stop working. Introduction:Enzymes are made

    How does temperature affect the rate of reaction for Lipase? As the temperature increases‚ so will the rate of enzyme reaction. However‚ as the temperature exceeds the optimum the rate of reaction will decrease. I predict that at temperatures above 70°C the enzyme lipase will become denatured and at temperatures below 10°C the enzyme will become inactive. Since lipase operates within the human body I’d also predict that its optimum temperature would be around human body temperature which is approximately

    The Effect of Starch on the Activity of Amylase with pH Variable Lab Report‚ Fall 2011 East Tennessee State University Department of Biological Sciences By: Shelby Brackett Date Performed: October 10‚ 2011 Lab Instructor: Joseph Kusi Biology 1111‚ Section 018 Abstract Enzymes are very important in chemical reactions. They are used to speed up the reaction taking place. They act by binding to a specific substrate and form an enzyme-substrate complex that may put stress on chemical bonds

    Report Factors That Affect Enzymes Reaction Rate Name of lab: Effects of temperaturepHEnzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity Introduction: Enzymes are the most important types of proteins‚ they act as catalysis (speed up chemical reactions). If enzymes didn’t exist‚ biochemical reactions would act to slowly and they couldn’t keep up with the metabolic functions. Enzymes have a three-dimensional structure that is really complex. This structure consists

    How is pH affecting catalase activity? Hypothesis The catalase activity is assumed to be the most active in pH7. The higher or lower concentration away from the optimum pH of catalase‚ the slower the rate of activity is. Data Collection & Processing I collected the results of pH4‚ pH7‚ pH10 and pH13 after 2 minutes‚ and I repeated the experiment 3 times. Below is a table to show the results‚ their averages and standard deviations: | 1st time (sec) | 2nd time (sec) | 3rd time (sec)

    RUNNING HEAD: Understanding Enzymes Understanding Enzymes Amanda Chung Blanche Ely High School Abstract The researcher conducted this experiment in order to investigate how various factors effected enzymes. Those factors were the concentration of the enzyme‚ the temperature it had to work in‚ and the pH level of the solutions as well. All three were hypothesized to speed up the rate at which the enzyme acted. A series of several tests were carried out to find the answer to each problem
