Affecting Enzyme Activity Abstract: In the following lab factors affecting enzyme activity‚ temperature‚ pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration and surface area will be tested on a beef liver enzyme to see if there will be any effect of performance. By doing 2 or more trials the results will show whether there is an effect to the enzyme from the following factors or not. Some of the factors may denature the enzyme and some will do nothing. Using a table qualitative and the rate of reaction

as temperature‚ pH‚ and concentration of substrate‚ on the activity of the enzymes. By conducting these three separate experiments also‚ three graphs are able to be obtained where the trend of each factor affecting on the enzyme activity is shown and described clearly. II. Hypothesis Experiment 1 (Effect of Temperature): As the temperature increases‚ the height of the bubble will increase too‚ indicating a faster rate of reaction. Experiment 2 (Effect of pH): Enzymes are affected by changes

Introduction: In this lab i used glucose and starch to show if the cell membrane is permeable‚ impermeable‚ or selectively permeable to these substances. Dialysis tubing is a plastic like substance that has small pores in it. These pores allow certain chemicals to flow into and out of the cells. The size of the molecule determines what goes through the tubing. On of the materials that we will be using is glucose. glucose is a simple sugar that easily dissolves in water. To test for the presence of

Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to measure the extent of enzyme reaction on given substrates by means of color change. The reaction followed is given below: Tyrosinase³ Enzyme Pyrocatechol Hydroxyquinone Oxidation/Reduction Pink ³ Brown E+S + [ES] = E+P Enzyme Reaction Hypothesis: If there is an increase in enzyme concentration‚ an increase in reaction temperature‚ or an increase in buffer pH‚ then greater

Digestion of lipid does not occur in the mouth and stomach because enzymes that would aid the digestion are not present there. The major organ for the digestion of lipids in the small intestine because the pancreas is the primary source of lipid-digesting enzymes (lipase). For the body to digest the fat molecules in the food‚ a process must occur‚ and it is called “Emulsification

Effect of Temperature on Enzymes ~Abstract~ In this experiment the effect of different types of temperatures on enzyme activity was examined. The temperature baths that were used to test the difference in enzyme activity on fresh liver were; 4 °C‚ room temperature which was 22°C‚ body temperature which is 37°C‚ and 77°C. The total time of each trial was 2 and a half minute‚ 1 minute for the H2O2 to acclimatize to the temperature‚ 1 and a half minutes for the reaction to occur. Catalase causes Hydrogen

Lab #5-Enzymes NAME DATE LAB PERIOD Introduction Enzymes are proteins‚ though highly complex and diverse‚ they serve one basic function; to work as an organic catalyst. A catalyst‚ as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary‚ is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate ("Catalyst-Definition and more."). They function by reducing the activation energy‚ or energy required to start a reaction. The way enzymatic reaction works cannot be altered‚ but the

Broadly speaking‚ enzymes are proteins that is produced to perform as a biological catalyst in chemical reactions. Catalyst are used to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. In this study‚ we performed two different experiments that investigated the effect of varying substrate concentration‚ and the effect of temperature on the rate of Enzyme-Catalase reaction. In experiment one (i.e. the effect of varying substrate concentration on the rate of enzyme-catalase reaction) we tested the hypothesis

for the effects of temperature on the enzyme activity was that the reaction’s rate would increase as the temperature increased‚ until they go over the optimum temperature where the enzymes denature and the reaction’s rate quickly drops to zero. At 5 degree C the rate is 0.00059mole PNP/min. This then increases to 0.01031mmoles PNP/min at a temperature of 50 degree C. The rate then drops drastically to -0.00215moles PNP/min. This point is where the enzymes have been denatured and have no activity
