The Effects of Substrate Concentration‚ Reaction Time and Enzyme Concentration on Enzyme Reactions Corey von Ellm-St. Croix Rachael Kwan ID#: 20427841 Matthew Hrycyshyn & Saeideh Mayanloo Biol 130L‚ Section 017 Wednesday‚ 9:30am-12:20pm‚ 151 November 09‚ 2011 A living system controls its activity through enzymes. Enzymes are made from hundreds or even thousands of amino acids connected in a very unique and specific order. Almost all enzymes are proteins‚ except for ribozymes. The chain

some positive comments from many people in the last decade. Nearly half of our drinking water could have fluoride added to it under a ’secret’ Government plan. The problem is that as the world’s population continues to explode at an exponential rate‚ some scientists and the government make decisions of their own‚ sometimes behind closed doors from our knowledge about this. On one hand they might care and try and help the population to keep as healthy‚ however on the other hand (as I will be

The Rate of a Reaction The area of chemistry that deals with the rate or speed of chemical reactions is known a chemical kinetics. The word “kinetic” is derived from the Greek name kinitikos that means movement or motion. In the present context‚ the kinetic means the reaction rate or rate of a reaction that is defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or a product with time (M/s). Chemical reaction can be represented by the following general equation. Reactants Products It is very important

lObjective This experiment explores how salt and sugar affect the melting rate of ice in water. Research Questions: * Does adding salt to ice and water slow down‚ speed up‚ or not change the rate the ice melts in the water? * Is salt the only substance to have this effect? What about sugar? Knowing how to speed up the melting rate of ice is very important information for anyone who needs to de-ice roads or driveways after a winter storm. While it seems simple‚ adding salt to ice water

Diffusion of Hydrochloric Acid into Different Sizes of Agar Blocks Aim: Investigating the relationship between the diffusion and the surface area to volume ratio‚ with agar and hydrochloric acid. Research Question: How does the difference in surface area to volume ratio affect the diffusion? Hypothesis: As the area to volume ratio increases‚ the time taken for a complete diffusion will also increase. Background Information: Agar is a jelly like substance and in this experiment‚ agar

Testing the effect of concentration on rate of reaction Plan: We are investigating the effect of nitric acid on calcium carbonate. We are doing this experiment‚ as we would like to understand the effect that acid rain has on limestone. We also want to understand how acid can have an effect on rate of reaction. The word equation for the reaction that will take place is: Calcium Carbonate + Nitric Acid Calcium Nitrate + Carbon Dioxide + Water The balanced symbol equation

react with hydrochloric acid; and 1 cm3 of element X has a mass of 1.8 grams. Is element X a metal or non-metal? Give the reasons for your answer. Element X is most likely a typical non-metal. First of all‚ element X melts in boiling water; non-metals typically have low melting and boiling points. Furthermore‚ element X is unable to react with hydrochloric acid. This greatly indicates that element X is a non-metal as most non-metals fail to react with hydrochloric or dilute acids. In order

regarding the effects of varying the concentration of a substrate‚ in this case the pea extract. To view the graphical representation‚ which more clearly displays the relationship‚ view Figure 2. The rate at which the reaction occurred for the 100% concentration is 1.45 mg/dL per minute. For the 50%‚ the rate was 3.05 mg/dL per minute‚ and for the 25%‚ the rate was 2.76 mg/dL per minute. As seen‚ the rate fluctuated from the lowest rate at 100% and the greatest rate occurring at 50%. As mentioned earlier

Investigate the Effect of Acid Rain on Building Materials Question: What is the effect of 6M sulfuric acid (H2SO4) on the corrosion rate of the 3 grams of steel as the amount (number of sprays) of sulfuric acid increases? Variables: Independent variable: the number of sprays of 6M sulfuric acid (0‚ 5‚ 10‚ 15‚ 20‚ 25 times) to observe its effect on the corrosion rate. Each spray will contain about 10mL. Dependent variable: The corrosion rate. It will be calculated by measuring the mass of steel
