Lab 4 Quiz 1. Enzymes and what is their function? a. Enzyme: biological catalysts that regulate chemical reactions that occur in cells. Responsible for things such as converting food to energy‚ replace old damaged tissues‚ disposal of cellular waste products. Are responsible for lowering the activation energy. 2. Most enzymes are proteins with three-dimensional shapes determined by their amino acid sequence. 3. Substrate – is a reactant molecule that binds to the highly specific active site

Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts that permit cells to carry out the many functions that are required in a living system. Every enzyme has a specific substrate and a specific function. Enzymes alter substrates one of three ways: by adding something to the substrate‚ removing something from the substrate‚ or by changing its conformation‚ otherwise known as its shape. The structure of an enzyme and its ability to function exists because it binds to an active site‚ thus increasing the

The Effects of Human Activity on Climate Climate is a natural activity that can be defined as the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general over a long period of time (which can include temperature‚ air pressure‚ humidity‚ precipitation‚ sunshine‚ cloudiness‚ and winds) (“Climate”). The climate has been a part of our environment long before humans came to study it‚ and really took it into consideration. Now through the many negative environmental actions created by humans through beneficial

This section analyzes and presents the results of the two trials conducted‚ including the trial in which Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) was denatured by a cold catalase solution and the other in which the Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) was denatured by a hot catalase solution. The experiment conducted displayed signs of experimental error as there were many situations in which the materials provided could have faulted. Theoretically speaking‚ from the inconsistent values provided for the pH levels‚ a possible

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:

Positive Effects of Volcanos Volcanic activity has many positive impacts on both the natural physical environment and on socio-economic activity. Positive impacts include the creation of new land‚ the creation of valuable natural minerals and ores‚ and the enhancement of countries’ tourism potential. Creation of new land: Volcanic activity can result in the creation of new land‚ when material from within the earth’s crust is ejected in the form of molten liquid‚ then cools and solidifies to created

courses offered by an educational institution”. In the world of education‚ do extracurricular activities still matter? Well‚ they are definitely a way to escape boredom as they strive to challenge an individual to do something new by overloading or filling up his schedule. And in truth‚ there are some anecdotes on different individuals cracking under pressure due to their participation in these activities. However‚ they cannot compare to the countless rewards that these ventures have to offer. After

The effects of the school activities to the learning achievement of the selected fourth year students of Liceo de San Pedro Academic Year 2009-2010. School activities are those sponsored by and usually held at school but that are not part of the academic curriculum. They often involve some time commitment outside of the regular school day. A school activity serves as a break of the students from their lessons. School activities include both extracurricular and co-curricular activities. School

Enzymes- reduce the amount of energy required for the reactions they catalyse [accelerate]. -thus‚ increasing the rate of reactions that occur in living organisms. WITHOUT enzymes : metabolism would be so slow at body temp. that insufficient energy would be available to sustain life. -Many enzymes are “Intracellular”- used within the cell that produced them e.g. enzymes in respiration & photosynthesis -Others are “extracellular”-they act outside the
