THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CATALASE RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the effect of various temperatures‚ 0°C‚ room temperature‚ 37°C‚ 50°C‚ 60°C‚ on the number of oxygen gas bubbles liberated‚ in a decomposition reaction between the enzyme Catalase‚ obtained from crushed mung beans‚ and 2% of the substrate Hydrogen Peroxide? INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions without they themselves being involved in the reaction itself. Enzymes are proteins

Effect of Temperature ( C ͦ) on Enzyme Catalase Activity in potato Aim: To investigate the Effect of temperature (10‚ 37‚ 60) Celsius (C ͦ) on enzyme catalase activity in potato using 2% of hydrogen peroxide (H202) as the substrate measuring the height (cm) of oxygen gas (bubbles) and calculating the volume of oxygen bubbles produced (cm3) Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up metabolic reactions without being affected. They lower the activation energy needed to start

Effects of Temperature and pH on Catalase Activity INTRODUCTION Enzymes are organic catalysts that spur metabolic reactions. The presence of an enzyme within a cell is essential in order for any sort of reaction to take place. All enzymes are complex proteins that act in an organism’s closely controlled internal environment. In such a homeostatic environment‚ the temperature and the pH (concentration of hydrogen ions)‚ remain within a fairly narrow range. Extreme variations in pH and temperature

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

CATALASE Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in reproductive reactions. Likewise‚ catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers of all enzymes; one catalase molecule can convert millions of molecules of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen each second. Catalase is a tetramer of four polypeptide chains‚ each over 500 amino acids long. It contains

known as yeast‚ is used in various aspects of life‚ from winemaking to baking. It respires both anaerobically and aerobically to produce CO2 and alcohol in a process known as fermentation (Barrio‚ 2009). It does this by breaking down the sugars (in the process outlined in figure 1) in the mitochondria (see figure 2). There are various factors

Background Information: Yeast is a fungal microorganism that is used to manufacture mainly bread and beer. It reproduces rapidly. Fermentation is the process by which yeast takes in sugar and releases alcohol and carbon dioxide. Fermentation
