    determining the effects of pH on enzyme activity show that as the independent variable‚ pH‚ increases the dependent variable‚ percentage transmission‚ decreases. This is shown in the results as at the lowest pHpH 4.0 the average percentage transmission is at its highest at 97%. At the highest pHpH 8.0 the average transmission is 78.5%. This is also supported from the graph as it produces a negative gradient showing that as the percentage transmission will decrease with an increasing pH. This happens

    An experiment to investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction of the Enzyme Trypsin. Aim: This investigation was on the effect temperature has on the rate that the enzyme trypsin hydrolyses its substrate‚ a protein found in milk (casein). This investigation was conducted under controlled conditions‚ the temperature being the changeable variable. Trypsin and its substrate (powdered milk which is a source of the protein casein) were heated in a water bath. The contents of the two

    the effect of temperature on the action of a protease enzyme on exposed developed film Plan Aim: The aim of the experiment is to find out what effect temperature has on the action of a protease enzyme on exposed developed film. Enzymes are biological catalysts. They are made in livings things built up by amino acids to make protein. Enzymes are able to speed up reactions and can repeat reactions. There are various factors that affect the activity of enzymes they are: "Y Temperature "Y pH "Y

    In this lab we tested the effect of temperature has on the rate of enzyme activity. The way we figured this out was by taking four different temperatures and testing the difference absorbance levels they produced every 20 seconds for about 2 minutes straight using a spectrophotometer. The important part of this experiment was the temperature the enzyme concentration was made at. What we got from the experiment was at lower temperature we got very low numbers for the absorbance‚ which gave us a lower

    Identification of unknown a-Amylase through testing different temperatures and pH values to detect the absorbance of maltose. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ mainly proteins for this experiment‚ generated by an organism to speed up chemical reactions. They have active sites on which the substrate is attached‚ and then broken up or joined. For this experiment we are going to work with the enzyme a-amylase. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar. Amylase is present in human

    Abstract This experiment was carried out to monitor the ability of the Barley Amylase Enzyme to effectively break down starch in solutions that are increasing in neutral pH. To do this the experiment was carried out so that tubes containing a reaction solution of the Amylase enzyme and starch were simultaneously mixed. The reactions were then introduced to I2-KI‚ which stopped the reactions‚ at two minute intervals. Each of these trials was repeated three times to ensure proper accuracy. After

    most notable variables is the temperature of the plant’s environment. Previous study has led me to conclude that when the temperature of the plants’ environment is low‚ the rate of photosynthesis is also low because the enzymes responsible for photosynthesis are not able to absorb as much heat energy and in turn will move slower. In contrast‚ if the temperature of the plant’s environment increases‚ the rate of photosynthesis will also increase because the enzymes and molecules responsible for

    focused on determining the optimal temperature of the enzyme amylase responsible for catabolizing starch polymers and to see how different temperatures affected the rate as well as how effectively the enzyme worked. To proceed with the experiment the group set up four different test tubes for each‚ bacteria and fungal amylase‚ and labeled them accordingly with different temperatures as well as different solutions . Then the spot plates were placed on the time and temperature table created with napkins and

    Manila Philippines Abstract Salivary amylase‚ found in humans‚ is enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into simpler compounds. Its enzymatic activity is affected by several factors‚ such as temperature and pH. The rates of enzymatic activity of salivary amylase in different temperatures and pH were measured and resulted to be very near 50 C and 7 respectively. However‚ due to some errors that were committed‚ the expected optimum temperature was not achieved. Introduction Of all biomolecules

    conditions and enzyme function. *There are many environmental factors these may include temperature because if its too cold the enzyme would still work but it would work slowly and if its too hot the enzyme will become denatured. As the temperature increases‚ the kinetic energy of the molecules increase so they move around more meaning that there are more collisions between the enzymes and substrates molecules and therefore more reactions. pH is a factor because the different types of enzymes work best
