Enzymes are a major role in the process of accelerating chemical reactions. Environmental factors affect the enzymes‚ These environmental factors include ph levels and body temperature. While both of these environmental factors affect the enzyme‚ body temperature affects the enzymes the most and can result in death. Enzymes are affected by high body temperature. Enzymes are highly specific and they work at certain temperature levels depending if it’s hot or cold. However‚ when the

prepared for the experiment‚ one at room temperature and the other two at 15°C and at 5°C. The room temperature water bath was prepared by filling a basin with tap water about ¾ full so that when the subject’s face is submerged‚ the water will not spill. A thermometer was used in order to obtain the temperature of the water. The temperature obtained was at 26°C. The water baths having temperatures of 15°C and 5°C were also prepared the same way as the room temperature water bath only with the addition of

Molecular Biology CTW: Enzyme Kinetic Dr. Cruz 07/22/2010 Enzyme kinetics Introduction Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants‚ without enzyme many of important processes of life could not happen. Most of enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions by lowering amount of activation energy needed for the reaction1. Enzymes are usually highly selective‚ only bind to specific substrate and convert it to product at a particular rate1. The rate of the reaction affects by substrate concentration:

Lab #5-Enzymes NAME DATE LAB PERIOD Introduction Enzymes are proteins‚ though highly complex and diverse‚ they serve one basic function; to work as an organic catalyst. A catalyst‚ as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary‚ is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate ("Catalyst-Definition and more."). They function by reducing the activation energy‚ or energy required to start a reaction. The way enzymatic reaction works cannot be altered‚ but the

Goldfish and Water Temperature Goldfish and Water Temperature The subject of my observation is a goldfish that is kept in a 2 gallon fishbowl positioned on a window side table. I have noticed that the goldfish is more active in the earlier morning and later evening than during the afternoon hours. Because the table is near a window that faces northeast‚ the fishbowl receives direct sunlight during the time between eleven o’clock a.m. and four o’clock p.m. The goldfish activity decreases around

Enzymes are important components of life‚ facilitating reactions that are necessary for an organism to live. Enzymes can be very specific to what environment they function best in1. Numerous environmental impacts were tested for the enzyme peroxidase which catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The basic decomposition reaction was carried out first without any environmental alterations. The hypothesis for this reaction was supported. The enzyme caused the amount of absorbance increase

Myrtle Freedom under threat: PH‚ 2rd deadliest country for Journalists Journalism has long been a high-risk profession‚ many journalists and reporters have put their lives on the line for a story. Journalists often have to go through extreme measures just to get information. Intensive research‚ live coverage and interviews are being demanded more and more by the public and in order to get such vital information‚ being on the scene is necessary. According to Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ)

altering the pH of the solution that pieces of apple are placed into on the degree of colour change that occurs when the pieces of cut apple come into contact with atmospheric oxygen‚ as measured by a colour scale? Hypothesis: Altering the pH of solution that pieces of apple are placed into has an effect on the degree of colour change that occurs when they come into contact with atmospheric oxygen. As the pH of solution increases‚ so does the degree of browning of the apple slice. Low pH solutions

Lambda DNA with restriction enzymes. Aim: The objectives of this experiment are: Become more familiar with using micropipettes. Use restriction enzymes to cut DNA at specific sites. Use Ligase to rejoin some of the cut/separated DNA fragments. Learn to separate DNA using electrophoresis. Introduction: Restriction enzymes are proteins which cut dsDNA at specific regions depending on the enzyme used‚ determined by the nucleotide sequence of the DNA‚ i.e. each enzyme recognises specific nucleic
