Enzymes are organic catalysts‚ usually proteins that speed up metabolic reactions. They lower the amount of energy needed for reactions to progress in cells. In enzymatic activity‚ the molecules at the beginning are called substrates. Lactose metabolism is when lactose is destroyed‚ maintained or produced. For instance‚ being lactose intolerance that’s where lactose is destroyed. Metal cofactors in enzyme activity are required to function properly. The Effect of Temperature on Enzymatic Activity:

Effects of Concentration Purpose: the purpose of this part of the lab is to see the effects of enzyme concentration on the reaction rate. Part 2: Effect of Substrate Concentration Purpose: The purpose of this part of the lab was to find the effect of substrate concentration on enzyme activity. Part 3: Effect of Temprature Purpose: The purpose of this part of the lab was to

Enzymes play a vital role in helping our body function. They act as biological catalysts and help speed up reactions that would otherwise take long periods of time to naturally occur. Enzymes help lower the activation energy required for the reactants to reach the transitional state from which then they can form products. However‚ enzymes do not change the free energy of the reaction. Enzyme’s ability to catalyze reactions comes from the shape of the active site on the enzyme. Enzymes are hyper-specific

Lab 6.C Hypothesis: If enzyme activity is affected by the pH of a solution‚ then the enzymes will experience the greatest activity at a pH of 6. Variables: Independent Variables Dependent Variable Controls Four different pH values (10‚ 7‚ 6‚ and 3) Change in color of the solution The amount of potato extract‚ pH solution‚ and catechol used (1 cm +/- .1cm) Size of the test tubes Amount of time allowed for the catechol to sit with the potato extract and pH solution (20 minutes with 5

Enzyme Activity Lab Hypothesis: 1] Are enzymes reusable? Yes‚ enzymes are reusable. 2] Which of the following do you think contain catalase? [Manganese dioxide‚ chicken meat‚ apple‚ carrot‚ potato‚ or chicken liver] I think that the manganese dioxide‚ apple‚ and carrot contain the catalase. 3] Would grinding the materials affect enzyme activity? I think that grinding the materials will increase enzyme activity. 4] Would temperature affect enzyme activity? I think that

MISEP Chemistry 512 – Jacobs Enzyme Catalyst Lab - Formal Report – August 8‚ 2007 ABSTRACT This investigation examined what would happen to the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction if the concentration of substrate changed. We hypothesized that if the concentration increased‚ then the reaction rate would also increase. To test our question‚ we varied a combination of substrate and buffer‚ totaling 6mL‚ with a constant amount of 2 drops of catalyst. The enzyme catalyst‚ peroxidase‚ increased

Stomach ulcers are painful little sores that form on the lining of one’s stomach and small intestine (1). Ulcers are no joke‚ and are to be thought of seriously (1). If left untreated they can begin to bleed‚ causing blood to show up in your stool‚ or cause you to start vomiting blood‚ because the blood must go somewhere‚ it just cannot pool in your stomach (1). Sometimes in extreme cases‚ ulcers can lead to gastric cancer (1). The most common signs that you might have an ulcer are bloating of the

To understand the issue of temperature control of ball mill can better finish grinding. Temperature of ball mill is big issue. Appropriate temperature must be set in production. Temperature not only affects the properties of ball mill material but also the grinding performance of grinding materials. The normal temperature of ball mill is high and there are many reasons

Computer Enzyme Action: Testing Catalase Activity 6A H2O2 is toxic to most living organisms. Many organisms are capable of enzymatically destroying the H2O2 before it can do much damage. H2O2 can be converted to oxygen and water‚ as follows: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 Although this reaction occurs spontaneously‚ enzymes increase the rate considerably. At least two different enzymes are known to catalyze this reaction: catalase‚ found in animals and protists‚ and peroxidase‚ found in plants. A great

The Affect of Water Temperature on Goldfish Breathing Rate Carlos Vega Vanessa Santamaria Rasa Hodges 9/12/2013 Introduction The main objective of our lab was to see how temperature affects the breathing patterns of an Ectothermic animal. Ectothermic is the same thing as cold-blooded. It means that the animal‚ in this case a goldfish (Carassius Aauratus)‚ does not produce its own heat internally so the animals temperature depends on the temperature of its surroundings. So
