Effect of Varying Temperatures: The enzyme catalyzed reaction rate during varying incubation temperatures are plotted on Figure. 6. As the temperature increases the rate increases‚ but as the temperature reaches 49oC it begins to drop. When the plot of the logarithm of the rate is used against the inverse of the temperature kelvin’s the Arrhenius equation is used to calculate the activation energy. The range in orange is between 16.5 - 37oC and the activation energy is calculated to be 9332kcal/mol

shape. Each individual enzyme has its own specific shape which is determined by the amino acid sequence that it is made up of – each enzyme’s active site matches to its unique substrate molecule. For the sake of our experiment – enzymes catalyse reactions because they become an active site for reactions to take place. This lowers the energy that is needed for the reaction but at the same time‚ it increases the chance that they will happen. Enzymes have an optimum temperature range at which the reaction

This experiment was designed to study the effect of exercise on skin temperature and heart rate. Studying the effect of exercise on skin temperature and heart rate yields understanding of how homeostasis is achieved in humans. This knowledge creates opportunity to discover more effective ways to return the human body to optimal functioning‚ rather than a reliance on natural processes. This experiment measured the change in skin temperature and heart rate of a chosen subject for four two-minute intervals

manual. The independent variable in this experiment was temperature as it was the effects of temperature that was being measured. The dependent variable were ventilation rates and oxygen consumption as they were being measured. There were 10 fish per treatment level. There were two treatment levels‚ 25 C and 15 C. Ten fish tanks per treatment level were set up‚ the first group of fish tank were filled with spring water and kept at room temperature of 25 C‚ whereas‚ the second group of fish tank were

In “Mass Immigration: Its Effects on Our Culture” (2002) Lawrence Auster believes that the rapid influx of immigrants into America has detrimental effects on the nation’s culture. Ever since the establishment of the US Immigration Act in 1965‚ America is being opened up to an incursion of people of a multitude of backgrounds‚ causing it to become redefined “as a multicultural society rather than as a nation.” Firstly‚ he claims that it is dangerous—influx of thousands from variable‚ and perhaps questionable

The effect of temperature on the rate of maggot movement Research and Rationale This experiment is aiming to analyse the behaviour of maggots when they are exposed to light and the effect of that on their movement rate. Behaviour is the way in which animals respond to external factors is known as behaviour. As animals become bigger their behaviour becomes more complex. This is because larger animals tend to have a more complex nervous and hormonal system. Two of the types of behaviour are called

Temperature affects enzymes in two different ways: by increasing the kinetic motion of molecules‚ changing the rate of collisions between them and the hydrogen bonds it’s 3D structure(D. Fraser‚ 55). There is a specific temperature for every enzyme where activity is maximized‚ and also where an enzyme becomes denatured. An enzyme becomes denatured when it is heated at extreme temperature; the excessive kinetic movement of the amino acid begins

INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CATALASE ACTIVITY AIM The aim of this experiment is to find out the effect of temperature on catalase or hydrogen peroxide. This will enable us to tell at what temperature hydrogen peroxide is most efficient. This (degradation) reaction will help us determine some of the catalase’s different attributes. HYPOTHESIS In this experiment it would be safe to hypothesise that no activity would take place at 1 to 20 degrees. It would be probable that a

Abstract This experiment analyzes the effects of how temperature affects bacterial and fungus amylase and also discovers the optimum temperature for these enzymes. The amylase was mixed with starch at temperatures of 0℃‚ 37℃‚ 57℃‚ and 90℃. Iodine was added to each mixture and colour changes in each case. Bacteria amylase was found to be effective at 55 0C as the temperature dropped drastically from 4.58℃ to 2.33℃. This shows that the amylase catabolized a lot of starch hence little is left which
