Enzymatic activity of Human saliva (Salivary amylase) against Temperature Proponent: Ian Angelo P. Dela Cruz BS-Biology 1-3 Prof. McJervis S. Villaruel Professor – BIOL2015(Lab) ABSTRACT This report entitled “Enzymatic activity of Human saliva (Salivary amylase) against temperature” aims to know and observe the enzyme activity of the human saliva. The research only included the use of starch-agar as the medium to observe enzyme activity during the experiment. Five starch-agar

Chemestry Lab Rates of Reaction (Picture from: http://sciencespot.net/Pages/kdzchem.html) The rate of reaction is how fast or slow a reaction is completed. This is important for factories and chemists all over the world. What happenes during a reaction is atoms or molecules that collide and form new molecules. You can affect this rate of reaction with: temperature of reactants or suroundings‚ surface area of reactants‚ if there is a catalyst present‚ but in theis lab the concentration was changed

Chemistry Coursework Rates of Reaction Investigation Introduction In this investigation I am going to be investigating the reaction between marble chips and hydrochloric acid‚ and to see what differences in the rate of this reaction arise when different concentrations of acid are used. Below is the word equation for this reaction: Calcium Carbonate + Hydrochloric Acid = Calcium Chloride + Carbon Dioxide + Water Below is the fully balanced chemical equation for this reaction. CaCo3 + HCl

PH level of Amylase Background info: What is Amylase? Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates. It is produced in the pancreas and the salivary glands. (Dugdale & Longstreth‚ 2011) Factors Affecting Amylase: Things that affect the efficiency of Amylase are temperature and pH levels. (Wikimedia Foundation‚ Inc‚ 2013) Function in the body: The function of Amylase in the human body is to break down plant-based starch sources. Therefore‚ providing the human body with more

Coursework-Rates of Reactions Introduction Investigating how the concentration of sodium-thiosulphate (STS) and hydrochloric acid (HCL) affects the rate of reaction in the experiment. In addition I am also checking how different variables affect my experiment and also how I can make my test more precise‚ reliable and accurate. Strategy According to my results‚ as the concentration of STS solution increased the rate of reaction of my experiment was increased. Also as the concentration of STS

Demonstration of the Rates of Reaction Between Sulphuric Acid (25mL ±0.5mL) and Magnesium (0.02g ±0.01g) Changing Due to Different Surface Areas By Chania Baldwin Introduction: When sulphuric acid and magnesium are added together‚ magnesium sulphate and hydrogen gas is created. To create such a reaction the atoms must collide with a sufficient amount of energy. Every reaction requires a different amount of energy to create the reaction‚ which is called the activation energy; when there is not enough

Melissa Carrithers AP Chemistry 12/17/14 Rate Law Determination Pre-Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to observe the reaction between sodium hydroxide and crystal violet so that the order of the reaction could be determined along with the rate constant‚ k‚ and the half-life for this reaction. Hypothesis: If the reaction between crystal violet and sodium hydroxide reacts appropriately‚ then the order will be first order. Procedure: Mix 10 mL of sodium hydroxide and crystal violet solution

ABSTRACT Enzymes are highly specific and can distinguish isomers of the same molecule. The enzyme invertase specifically catalyzes the reaction of the conversion of sucrose to its individual carbohydrates glucose and fructose. It does not catalyse the reaction of maltose to 2 glucose or lactose to galactose. In this experiment‚ titrimetric and spectrophotometric methods were used to determine the specificity of invertase by determining the amount of glucose converted from the given disaccharides

The Effect and Rate of the Enzyme Amylase on Starch Abstract Assessing reaction speed of the enzyme amylase can be measured by the amount of glucose and maltose produced during given time intervals. I hypothesized that‚ if the reaction time is longer‚ then the amount of amylase will be larger. Enzymes are specific in their match of substrates they will breakdown – similar to a key and its lock. Since amylase is the only enzyme that breaks down starch‚ the procedure was effective and gave clear
