    Amylase And Its Functionality At Various Ph Level Abstract Enzymes can be denatured at various ph levels in which then affects the shape of the enzymes structure and reactivity. The altering of shape causes substrates to not bind in the active site (Scott Freeman‚ Micheal Harrington‚ Joan. C Sharp‚ 2009). Amylase is used as a catalytic enzyme to determine the time period to convert starch into glucose monomers and transport into the bloodstream at different ph levels

    My lab group studied the effect of PH on reaction rate/ enzyme activity measured by foam height. PH is the measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The higher the hydrogen ion concentration‚ the lower the pH. Every enzyme has an optimal PH‚ meaning they have a very small window in which they are most active. Our enzyme (potato smoothie) had an optimal PH of 7.0-7.5. We know this because we measured the enzyme’s reaction rate by measuring foam height. The largest foam height we

    Does the amount of time that orange juice is swished in a human mouth affect the pH of the saliva‚ which could inhibit the digestion of the starches in the orange juice? Hypothesis: The longer 2 mL of orange juice is held in a test subject’s mouth‚ the greater the ability of the test subject’s saliva will become to break down starches. Dependent Variable: pH of the saliva. Independent Variable: time that the juice is swished in the mouth. Controlled Variables: Orange juice only. The

    Enzymes: Food & Nutrition What are enzymes Enzymes are a type of protein produced by a living organism used to catalyze chemical reactions in cells. These reactions allow the cell to build things or take things apart as needed in order to grow and reproduce. How do enzymes work - in steps 1) Substrate floats near enzyme 2) Substrate and enzyme connect – which breaks it into products 3) Products are released ex) BreadFast & Co.’s use of enzymes The company uses many different

    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

    The effect of Lead ions on amylase activity Aim What is the effect of Lead ions on the enzyme Amylase. And does it have an inhibitory effect‚ which causes the substrate‚ in this case starch to be blocked from the reaction process in the enzyme catalyst. Also is the effect reversible or irreversible‚ which is put on the amylase. Method Apparatus and substances required Test tube holder 2% starch solution 6 boiling tubes labelled 1 to 6 1% lead nitrate solution 6 test tubes labelled A to E‚

    Introduction How does changing the surroundings of enzymes affect their reaction rate? The purpose of the experiment is to determine how different abiotic conditions affect the rate at which enzymes accelerate/cause reactions In this lab students measured the height of the foam after catalysis between catalase (enzyme) and 7 other (solutions) to determine which solution had the fastest reaction rate.. The control variable of the experiment would be the solution of only hydrogen peroxide‚ water

    Enzyme Catalysis Abstract: Catalysis is an enzyme that decomposes hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. In this lab we will conduct a series of experiments to determine the affects of; pH‚ temperature‚ and concentration change on such catalysis. After completing the experiments we determined that catalase works most efficiently when in a 27°c‚ 50% (5 ml of catalase – 5ml of water)‚ and a normal body pH of 7°.

    Focused Question: How can one determine the presence of glucose‚ starch‚ lipid‚ and protein in various samples? Pre-lab Questions: • Glucose is a monosaccharide. What does this mean? A monosaccaride is a carbohydrate molecule with three to seven carbon atoms with the corresponding number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. • Proteins are made of amino acids. What atom is present in an amino acid that is not present in a sugar molecule? One nitrogen atom is present per molecule in an amino acid
