Effects of Temperature and pH on Catalase Activity INTRODUCTION Enzymes are organic catalysts that spur metabolic reactions. The presence of an enzyme within a cell is essential in order for any sort of reaction to take place. All enzymes are complex proteins that act in an organism’s closely controlled internal environment. In such a homeostatic environment‚ the temperature and the pH (concentration of hydrogen ions)‚ remain within a fairly narrow range. Extreme variations in pH and temperature

wire‚ the temperature of the wire will be increasing. Measure the temperature using the infrared thermometer. Record the ammeter reading as the temperature increases 10°C before disconnecting the wire from the circuit and measuring the wire resistance immediately using the ohm meter. 4. Repeat procedure 4 when the temperature of the wire increases every 10°C until the highest temperature is reached and the measurements are recorded. Conclusion The hypothesis that when the temperature of a wire

MIC Practical Report Kerry Haarhoff 18 April 2012 3150540 Introduction Bacteria and fungi are both micro-organisms‚ however‚ fungi are spore-producing organisms whereas bacteria are not and fungi can be multicellular and bacteria is only a unicellular organism. These 2 micro-organisms‚ along with many other things circulate in the air within our environment. These micro-organisms then settle and become more prevalent in different areas. An experiment was conducted to see where

What effect does temperature have on the oxygen production of enzymes in an animal’s liver? A temperature which is too high would be able to produce little to no oxygen because of the extreme temperature. Just like a temperature too high‚ a temperature which is too low would also produce little to no oxygen for the same reason. Animals that have livers are considered warm-blooded‚ with very warm temperatures; therefore it would make sense for a warm temperature to produce the most oxygen; but one

Temperature and Thermometers The Temperature of an object is a measure of the hotness or coldness of that object. An alternative way to think of temperature is to say that “the temperature of an object is a number – on some manmade scale – that indicates the hotness of the object”. ‘Hotness’ in turn is a measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules of the material. Note: You must use the term ‘hotness’.* The SI unit of temperature is the Kelvin (K)* Relationship between degrees Celsius

Solubility refers to the maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a given amount of solvent at a particular temperature Factors Affecting Solubility 1. Effect of Temperature For some substances to dissolve in a given solvent‚ heat is absorbed. The reaction is endothermic. In this case‚ an increase in temperature increases solubility. For some substances‚ heat is released when they dissolve in a given solvent. The reaction is called exothermic. In this case‚ an increase in temperature
