Enzyme is a type of protein that speed up the rate of reaction of living organisms. Enzyme also acts as a catalyst for specific chemical reaction by converting a specific reactants into a specific product. The enzyme activity will also be affected by temperature and pH value. In this experiment‚ enzyme was placed in carbohydrate solution at different temperature to identify unknown carbohydrate solution. The enzyme that involved in the reaction is salivary amylase. The action of amylase on starch

Effect of Temperature on Solubility Lab Purpose: What is the solubility of minerals in water? What is the relationship between temperature and solubility? Hypothesis: If salt and sugar are each tested in water of varying temperatures‚ then salt and sugar’s solubility will increase as the temperature also increases. Materials: Two 250 mL beakers Tap water 100 mL graduated cylinder Hot plate Two petri dishes Glass stirring rod Salt Sugar Thermometer

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 a reaction rate In this experiment I shall be investigating how temperature affects the rate of reaction Rates of reaction The Factors that affect the rate of reaction are temperature‚ surface area‚ concentration‚ catalysts‚ light and pressure Surface area – Surface area is the amount of solid surface that is available for reaction - Only affects solids so this will not affect our

The effect of different temperature on the cell respiration. Introduction： Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds in cells to form ATP‚and then release waste products. The process of cell respiration can take place in the presence or absence of oxygen. In either case‚the first stage of cell respiration is glycolysis.The effect of temperature on cell respiration mainly depends on the effect of temperature on of enzyme activity.Generally speaking in a certain

Enzymes Enzymes are… * Biological catalysts Lower the energy level needed for a biochemical reaction to occur. This energy level is called activation energy. * Proteins Polypeptide chains made up of 100’s-1000’s of amino acids in a specific sequence. * Do not get “used up” in a reaction The number of “uses” of an enzyme depends on the enzyme. * Work more efficiently at certain optimum temperatures. * They are “reaction-specific”. Each enzyme is included in one reaction.

Rate of Enzyme Activity Justin Hunter G. Kim September 16‚ 2011 September 26‚ 2011 Abstract Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms that is frequently used by cells to rapidly catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less reactive oxygen and water molecules. Catalase is a protein that is most commonly found in the liver. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect that changes in temperature and pH have on the function of the enzyme catalase

Lab 1: Effect of pH on sodium benzoate‚ a food preservative Sheikh M Zakaria Person no. 36295651 TA: Synthia Gratia Date of Submission: 05/29/13 Abstract Sodium Benzoate is a common food preservative used in food products such as jams and jellies‚ soft drinks‚ pickles‚ condiments etc and in tinned products in the market. This experiment aimed to determine whether benzoic acid is formed from it’s superior soluble form sodium benzoate in stomach acid‚ which is simulated by HCl (pH=2). It has

A2 Practical Investigations Title: The effect of Temperature on the growth of Aspergillus oryzae Develop a Hypothesis This particular investigation is to discover how a range of temperatures effects the growth rate of the fungi Aspergillus oryzae. Most fungi’s tend to survive within the temperature range of 5-35oC‚ with the optimum depending on their normal environmental temperature. The fungi Aspergillus oryzae is heterotrophic which means they taken in their food from dead organic matter and cannot
