Experiment 4 – Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim To study the effects of temperature on the activity of amylase enzyme on starch solution. Introduction Enzymes are widely known as biological catalyst. Almost all cellular reactions are controlled and guarded by enzymes. Virtually every metabolic reaction which takes place within a living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Enzymes are complex three-dimensional globular proteins. Some of the enzymes are built up off proteins and

Introduction To determine the effects of stressful experimental treatments on living membranes we are going to examine how fresh beets roots react when they are exposed to different temperatures. Membranes are an important feature of plant cells and they act as a barrier that separates the interior of the cell from the external environment (Campbell 133). They organize specific chemicals and reactions into specific compartments within the cell. Generally‚ cell membranes consist of phospholipids

THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CATALASE RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the effect of various temperatures‚ 0°C‚ room temperature‚ 37°C‚ 50°C‚ 60°C‚ on the number of oxygen gas bubbles liberated‚ in a decomposition reaction between the enzyme Catalase‚ obtained from crushed mung beans‚ and 2% of the substrate Hydrogen Peroxide? INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions without they themselves being involved in the reaction itself. Enzymes are proteins

The Effect of Temperature on the Enzyme Catalase Stephen Francis Biology 183 Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the resultant effect of temperature change on the reaction between the enzyme catalase and hydrogen peroxide. This experiment was performed by measuring and comparing the amount of oxygen bubbles produced and the absorbance of the catalase and hydrogen peroxide solution over time at room temperature‚ 2°C‚ 50°C‚ and 60°C. The overall result of this experiment proved

The effect of salt concentration on grass growth Abstract Our aim was to test the effect of different salinities on the growth of plants which what we did was measured different amounts of salt dissolved into 2 litres of water‚ watered the plant once with the salt water then for 9 days with pure ware. I found with my investigation that the less the salt‚ the more the growth of the plant. My aim was achieved by measuring the 5 fastest geminating (out of 20) and to measure the differences in growth

Introduction For this experiment‚ we are going to determine the effect of temperature on solubility‚ to be done in a chemical by dissolving a solute in a definite amount of solution which is saturated. Specifically‚ the goal of this experiment is to prepare a saturated solution of Na2C2O4 in water at different temperatures‚ determine the effect of temperature in solubility‚ and to apply Le Chatelier’s Principle. We can do all this by simply titrating a certain amount of standard KMnO4‚ and measuring

The Effect of Temperature on Blow-fly Larvae INTRODUCTION Calliphoridae- comonly known as a blowfly‚ are living organisms which usually are the first insects to colonise a body after death. The blowfly larvae are very useful in forensic entomology. The oldest larvae give an approximate time of death of body. Family: Calliphoridae Order: Diptera Name: Calliphora vicina Aim: To check the influence of temperature of environment on living functions and activity of Blow-fly larvae.

Temperature effects on the growth of microorganisms Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects that temperature has on three different organisms. Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting growth and survival of microorganisms². The three organisms used where Escherichia coli‚ Pseudomonas fluorescens‚ and Bacillus stearothermophilis. Most bacteria grow within a particular temperature range. The minimum growth temperature is
