are exposed daily to oxygen (such as fruits‚ vegetables and animals). Background Information The Catalase enzyme in this experiment is known for being less affective the warmer the temperature is. According to “Science fair projects” an enzyme becomes unstable at higher temperatures and the shape of the enzyme changes. The enzyme is also used to remove hydrogen peroxide from clothing in the textile industry. This would make sense because when an enzyme encounters a substrate molecule

How does lava temperature impact viscosity and velocity? The higher the temperature the lower the viscosity which allows it to develop a smooth surface skin‚ but this is quickly broken up by flow of molten lava‚ it creates a rough‚ clinkery surface. The lower the temperature of the magma the higher the viscosity which allows the lava to travel down the slope. In the group the average velocity was 0.91 cm/s . How the “lava” flowed was in a high viscosity and a low velocity because the “lava” was

point the heat will denature the enzyme as it reaches too high of heat. If an enzyme has been denatured it means the shape has been altered therefore cannot perform its function‚ many factors can cause this including high heat. The hypothesis is if temperature is increased the amount of activity rate will increase. The results for the rate of oxygen production (dependent variable) will increase as the heat increases. The reason is a chemical reaction to the heat gives it energy. Enzyme reactions are important

Introduction In this experiment‚ we will be figuring out how much does 80 degree celsius water reduce in temperature in 15 minutes‚ using different materials to insulate the heat. The five materials that will be tested are: Aluminium foil‚ plastic wrap‚ newspaper‚ felt‚ and bubble wrap. Aluminium foil is a reflective material; this means that it bounces the thermal energy back to the foiled object. It also absorbs the heat. Not only does it stop heat loss‚ but Aluminium foil is also useful for

Ocean Acidification SDI: Solubility of CO2 in different temperatures Aim: To observe the solubility of CO2 in different temperatures Hypothesis: We hypothesise that in cold water the level of co2 absorption will be greater than warm water which will mean the air space in the cylinder will be less compared to warm water. Independent: Type of water. Dependant: room temperature‚ amount of water‚ type‚ size and amount of tablet‚ amount of water in the basin. Materials: 250ml graduated

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to measure the effects of changes in temperatures and pH on enzyme activity in skeletal muscle‚ particularly the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). LDH is a glycolytic enzyme which converts pyruvate to lactate in the following equation: LDH Pyruvate+ NADH ------------ Lactate + NAD The reaction above can move in both directions‚

of reaction. This experiment focused on how temperature affects the rate of reaction for the reaction of alka-seltzer and water. The rate of a reaction is a value calculated to figure out how fast a chemical reaction occurs. There are three factors that can be changed that will affect the rate of a chemical reaction: surface area‚ concentration‚ and temperature. Temperature specifically affects the rate of a chemical reaction‚ because when the temperature is changed‚ the kinetic energy of the molecules
