If the current price of home heating oil is $1.20‚ the current price of natural gas is $2.00‚ and the average winter temperature this year is 40 degrees compared to 28 degrees over the past 10 years. A. What is the quantity of home heating oil demanded? 6.6 units B. How much did change in winter temperature effect demand in comparison to the average winter temperature? 12 units C.

Title: Investigate the breakdown of starch at different temperature AIM This experiment has been done to investigate the action of the enzyme amylase on the breakdown of starch. MATERIALS These were the materials used: four starch/ agar plates‚ a marker pen‚ 1mm graph paper ruler‚ 8mm cork borer‚ forceps and template for cutting holes‚ 1% Amylase‚ water‚ incubator set at 5‚ 20‚ 40 and 60 degree Celsius. METHOD This was the experimental procedure carried out: the materials above were collected

INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RATE OF ENZYME ACTIVITY. To investigate the effect that temperature has on enzyme activity I am going to use the enzyme amylase‚ which is used as a biological catalyst to break down starch‚ which cannot pass through the gut wall due to the size of the molecules‚ into smaller ones. Amylase is a carbohydrase‚ which converts starch to simple sugars in the Salivary Glands. Three features of all enzymes are: They are always proteins. They are specific

Abstract: This project looks at how the temperature of an experiment can affect its reaction time. The purpose of this experiment is to determine if dissolving reactions are affected by waters temperature. I believe that if the H2O temperature increases‚ then the Alka-Seltzer tablet will dissolve faster because the hot water molecules will move faster colliding with the tablet particles. Water will be the independent variable due to the fact is will always stay in its same form throughout the

all. This is why enzymes are crucial to life‚ without it life would not exist on earth. One of the many enzymes that are produced naturally within the body is catalase. In Denham Harman’s free-radical theory of aging‚ it is theorized that cells age as a result of exposure to free radicals and oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide. Catalase is the major line of defense that converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen‚ thus decreasing levels of free radicals in the body. According to an article

Lab Report: How Temperature affects Reaction Rate Aim: The Aim is to investigate how temperature can affect Reaction Rate. The experiment will be performed by heating equally sized and weighted lime stones with equal amounts and concentration of Hydrochloric acid at different temperatures. The temperatures will be 35˚C and 40˚C. We will measure the reaction rates by observing gas release of the reaction between lime stones and Hydrochloric acid. The amount of gas release at different

of temperature on amylase activity Introduction Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylases are found in almost all plants‚ animals and microorganisms. Large amounts of amylase occur in germinating cereals‚ and in the pancreas and saliva of higher animals. Aim The aim of this experiment is to find out the rate of reaction between amylase and starch in a range of different reaction temperatures. Hypothesis As the reaction temperature of
