Title: “The Effect of Substrate Concentration‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity” Abstract: In the following experiments we will measure precise amounts of potato extract as well as Phenylthiourea‚ combined with or without deionized water and in some instances change the temperature and observe and record the reaction. We will also investigate the different levels of prepared pH on varying samples of the potato extract and the Phenylthiourea and record the results.

Affect of enzyme concentration to the rate of reaction Aim: With the experiment of protein solution‚ in this case egg white added to different pepsin concentrations (0%‚ 0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%) shows‚ as the egg white is a protein and the pepsin works as an enzyme‚ how a higher pepsin concentration and therefore a larger amount of enzymes effect the rate of reaction. Hypothesis: An increased concentration of pepsin speeds up the time the mixture needs to come clear. Introduction:

Introduction Starch is composed of α-amylose and amylopectin. The structure of α-amylose consists of long polymer chains of glucose units connected by an α (1-4) linkage. Amylopectin consists mainly of α (1-4) linked glucose residues but is a branched molecule with α (1-6) branch points every 24 to 30 glucose residues on average. As a result of the bond angles in the α (1-4) linkage‚ amylose actually forms a spiral much like a coiled spring. Amylose is responsible for the formation of a deep blue

Internal assessment on enzyme concentration Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts and they are the most important type of protein. My aim in this experiment was to investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of an enzyme (protease) – catalyzed reaction ‚ catalysts speed up chemical reactions . My hypothesis is that the rate as reaction will increase as the concentration of protease in the solution increases so it will take less time for the reaction to take place

Chirag Patel Biology 157 Determining the Effect of Varying Substrate Concentration Question: How does concentration of potatoes affect the amount of oxygen produced with hydrogen peroxide and potatoes (enzymes)? Introduction The enzyme used for this experiment is Catalase. Catalase is inside mostly any living organism which uses oxygen. Its job is to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ into oxygen and water. (Formula) 2H2O2 ---> 2H2O + O2 (lab manual). There are limiting factors which if altered

Enzymes are large globular proteins which act as biological catalysts. They increase the rate of reaction without being used up by themselves. They are found in and out of cells and lower the activation energy of a reaction. Amylase is the enzyme which catalyses starch hydrolysis. Alpha amylase and beta amylase are two types of amylase enzymes. The amylase which is the most commonly found in the human body is the alpha amylase. Beta amylase is mainly found in bacteria‚ fungi and plants. Amylase breakdown

between catalase concentration and the rate of reaction. This means when catalase concentration increases‚ the rate of reaction also increases. In other words‚ at 20% catalase concentration‚ the rate of reaction was only 4.220 mm/s while at 100% catalase concentration‚ the rate of reaction was 7.704 mm/s. This proves the positive correlation between catalase concentration and the rate of reaction. This occurs because as the enzyme concentration increases‚ there are more enzymes available to catalyze

AIM The aim of this investigation is to explore the effect of different concentrations of bile salts on the time taken for the lipase enzyme to break down fat. BILE Bile is a brownish bitter alkaline fluid produced by the liver and made by the hepatocytes from water‚ bile salts‚ bile pigments cholesterol and phospholipids and stored in the gall bladder. Bile is directly connected with digestion. It is released sporadically into the small intestine (duodenum) which is part of the gut in order
