OBJECTIVE: The experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of the increase in the enzyme concentration on the rate of reaction. By using self investigative and experimental skills‚ the experiment was done in order to determine how the rate of reaction will be altered‚ whether it will increase‚ decrease or remain constant when the different concentration of enzymes added. INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are produced naturally in plant‚ animal‚ and microbial cell. There are thousands of different

ID:0720052 Effect of an Increasing Substrate Concentration on Enzyme Activity Rate Abstract The reaction rate of an enzyme can be affected by many factors‚ and the purpose of this experiment was to find out how an increasing substrate concentration influences the rate of an enzyme activity; we obtained data from recording the absorbance of the samples which contain the same amount of potato juice (enzyme oxidase) and different amount of catechol (substrate) while holding pH and temperature

contains an enzyme known as salivary amylase which catalyses the breakdown of starch to produce sugars such as maltose (Sherwood‚ 2013). When testing the effect of the salivary amylase concentration‚ we observed that the solution containing the most saliva (3ml)‚ become colourless faster than the solution which contained the least saliva (1ml). This proves that an increase in enzyme concentration (increase in saliva)‚ will cause an increase in the reaction rate (Bennett and Frieden‚ 1969).

Kenishia Pascal 10x3. Investigating How Different Concentration Effects The Rate Of Reaction. Strategy A Possible Factors * Source of catalase * Concentration * Surface Area of enzyme * Concentration of enzyme * pH * Temperature Chosen Factor We chose to investigate the concentration of enzyme as we had previously investigated the optimum temperature for catalase in the preliminary investigation. Concentration of enzyme is also fairly easy to investigate‚ as

Summary This experiment will measure the rate of oxidation of iodide ions by persulphate ions to derive the rate law for the reaction. Starch will be added to the reaction to facilitate the measure of time during the reaction. The reactant solutions will contain (NH4)2SO4 and KI‚ represented as: (NH4)2S2O8 + 2KI -> I2 + (NH4)2SO4 + K2SO4 This can be simplified to: S2O82- + 2I- -> I2 + 2SO42- These equations can only be carried out and be visible after the iodine has completely

There are three reactions in the iodine clock reaction. The first reaction is IO3-(aq) + 3 HSO3-3 SO4-(aq) + I-(aq)+ 3 H+(aq)‚ where the iodate ions become iodide ions1. The second reaction is 6 H+(aq) +IO3-(aq) + 5 I-(aq) 3 I2(aq) + 3 H2O(l) where the iodate ions become molecular iodine2. The third reaction involves molecular iodine becoming a dark blue starch;I2(aq) + starch blue-black complex3. These three reactions react in a sequence. In any reaction the concentration is exponentially related

Experiment to investigate the effect of concentration of electrolyte on the current of voltaic cell Aim The aim is to identify the relationship between the concentration of H2SO4 solution and the current of Cu-Zn voltaic cell. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that the greater the concentration of sulfuric acid the bigger the current of the voltaic cell. In a voltaic cell‚ chemical energy is concerted to electrical though the oxidation and reduction happen on the electrodes. Current will not flow

needed for chemical reactions. The two main environmental factors that can affect the enzyme’s activity are temperature and pH‚ and each enzyme works best at a particular temperature and pH. The purpose of this enzyme kinetic experiment was to observe the effect of temperature and pH on the reaction of barley alpha-amylase enzyme with starch substrate and establish the optimum temperature and pH for this reaction. The optimum temperature and pH for the reaction of alpha-amylase and starch was predicted

Investigating the Relationship between Concentration of Sodium Chloride and the Rate of Reaction of Enzyme Amylase Research Question: How will changing the percentage of sodium chloride concentration affect the rate of reaction of enzyme amylase‚ measured using the absorbance of starch and iodine with a spectrophotometer. Introduction: Amylase is an enzyme that is involved in the human digestive process. Found in both the human pancreas and the human saliva‚ amylase breaks down starch into sugar so

The Effect Of Substrate Concentration On The Activity Of The Enzyme Catalase A Level Biology Project Aims This is an experiment to examine how the concentration of the substrate hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase. Background Information Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction. Catalase
