Enzymes have an optimum temperature range at which the reaction will work the best – in most cases the warmer the better. The reason behind this is because when particles become warmer‚

phosphorylase in particular) are affected by varying its temperature before introducing it to the substrate it will be reacting with. A catalyst (enzyme) is a substance that changes the rate of a reaction; for a reaction to take place at all‚ the enzyme must first come into contact with the substrate. Enzymes are subject to a number of factors which effect how fast they can cause a reaction with a substrate; these factors include temperature‚ pH levels‚ chemical substances and the concentration of

the 200mL beaker started with an average temperature of 43.5oC it then gradually fell to 41oC after 45 seconds‚ then rapidly decreased in temperature by 2oC every 15 seconds. At the 90 second period it decreased by 4oC from 35.5oC to 31.5oC it then steadied out falling by 1oC per 15 seconds until the 120 second stop mark. For the 500mL beaker the temperature difference between the 15 second intervals were very different being more gradual with the temperature on average falling from 1 – 1.25oC per

larvae had formed their chrysalises each student put 1 of their containers into a cold climate approximately 45°F‚ 1 in a warm climate approximately 85°F and 1 stayed out at room temperature approximately 72°F. The larvae spent a total of 5 days in each climate‚ and then they were removed and brought back to room temperature. Then the waiting game started to see how long it took each larva to go through metamorphosis and emerge as a butterfly. Based on the data that was recorded it looks like the larvae

Thermochemistry Thermochemistry is the study of heat evolved and absorbed during the chemical reactions. The system is the interest of the universe; the surroundings are the rest of the universe in which the exchange of the energy with the system takes place. Both‚ the system and the surroundings make up the universe. Heat flow is the transfer of heat from a warm place to a cooler one. System to surroundings: Surroundings to system:

2.3 Results 2.3.1 The Effect of O. lybicus Population on Palms Temperature Over Time Temperature differences between different O. lybicus population levels were not significant in leaves and fronds (P > 0.05). However‚ high significance difference in temperature were occurred over time (P < 0.001) in both parts Figure 1 and 2. The temperature at the highest population (1000 insects) were the highest at the first three weeks‚ before it starts declining gradually (figures 14-15). Chlorophyll measurements

experiment was to determine the effect of caffeine on resting body temperature. This has to do with homeostasis‚ which is the maintenance of equilibrium. In other words‚ it is a stable body state. Homeostasis refers to the process of keeping the internal body environment in a steady state‚ when the external environment is changed (Homeostasis 2). Humans are warm-blooded creatures that generate body heat internally and maintain body temperatures at a fairly constant level – about 98.6oF (Chiras 3). In this

Experiment 4 – Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim To study the effects of temperature on the activity of amylase enzyme on starch solution. Introduction Enzymes are widely known as biological catalyst. Almost all cellular reactions are controlled and guarded by enzymes. Virtually every metabolic reaction which takes place within a living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Enzymes are complex three-dimensional globular proteins. Some of the enzymes are built up off proteins and
