Enzyme Suspension Lab Report
After completing this experiment I found that the hotter the temperature in a reaction the enzyme will speed up the reaction quickly and that if the enzyme suspension is too high it breaks down the toxin slowly. In Activity 7.1, Effects of Enzyme Concentration the oxygen gas released varied among the three trials with increasing amounts of enzyme. In the first few seconds of the reaction the twenty drops of enzyme reactions dropped rapidly than slightly increased over the span of 180 seconds. The enzyme reaction with 5 drops of enzyme suspension started off having the most oxygen gas release at 17.91% oxygen gas and slowly and gradually decreasing finishing off with 17.74% oxygen gas. Lastly with the 10 drops of enzyme suspension starting wit

    Purpose/Problem: There are four parts to the Enzyme Catalyst lab - Activity A, B, C, and D. In activity A, the characteristics of enzyme actions will be observed. The main purposes are to determine the rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction, to study the characteristics of an enzyme mediated reaction, and to observe the effect of heat on enzyme activity. The purpose of activity B is to use the Titration Protocol to determine the initial amount of H2O2 present in a solution. The amount will be the baseline for activities C and D. The purpose of activity C is to determine the rate at which H2O2 spontaneously decomposes when exposed to room temperatures and ambient light for 24 hours. The purpose of activity D is to determine the rate at which catalase decomposes H2O2. After adding H2SO4 for different time lashes, etc., the resulting data will be graphed at which the catalase decomposed by catalase.…

    The prediction for the effects of temperature on the enzyme activity was that the reaction’s rate would increase as the temperature increased, until they go over the optimum temperature where the enzymes denature and the reaction’s rate quickly drops to zero. At 5 degree C the rate is 0.00059mole PNP/min. This then increases to 0.01031mmoles PNP/min at a temperature of 50 degree C. The rate then drops drastically to -0.00215moles PNP/min. This point is where the enzymes have been denatured and have no activity, shown as the last point on the fig 8 and 9, do not fit on the graph. The optimum temperature was about 47 degree C. The core body temperature is only about 37 degree C and thus these enzymes are operating below their optimum temperature.…

    The results of our experiment showed the solutions in both tube 1 and tube 2 increasing in absorbency in the first eight minutes but then tube 1 continued to increase while tube 2 began to balance out. Tube 3, our blank, managed to stay at 0nm the entire twenty minutes. From this data, we can conclude that our hypothesis was supported that EDTA had a greater change in absorption over PTU.…

    Enzymes are proteins that are involved in all the chemical processes in living things. As they are made of proteins they are affected by pH and temperature. Enzymes are catalysts; they speed up chemical reactions without being changed themselves. Digestive enzymes speed up the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller ones so that the blood can absorb them. Enzymes turn a large starch molecule into thousands of tiny glucose molecules. Enzymes end in 'ase'. There are thousands of enzymes in our body but each enzyme is only specialised to do one thing, for example carbohydraise enzymes digest carbohydrates, protease enzymes digest protein.…

    Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature, pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions, which would otherwise progress more slowly.(Background Information; pg. 1) pH is a measurement of the acidity or alkalinity (base) of a solution. When the liver got mixed with H2O2 , the first time the chemical reaction was fast, the second time the reaction was slow and the last try was very fast. Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object. When the temperature of the liver changed from freezing to very hot to room…

    1) The purpose of this lab was to determine the rate of enzyme activity under variety of different conditions, such as, different amount of drops of enzymes and different temperature of water. The class measured the pressure in the test tube during the reaction of the substance with, 1.5 ml of H2O2, 1.5ml of H2O and different amounts of enzyme drops, to determine how much oxygen gas is produced during the reaction since the pressure of the test tube will get higher as more oxygen gas is accumulated during the reaction.…

    Our results showed that the reaction rate and concentration of substrate are proportional. Why this happens is interesting. A reaction is the change of the substrate into a new and different thing, called the product. The collision theory states that reactions happen as molecules collide, but they must collide at the correct orientation so that the activation sites on the molecules will match up. If you can increase the number of molecules in a reaction, you will also increase the chances of having the molecules collide. When we increased the concentration of substrate we increased the number of molecules, and thereby increasing the chances of the molecules colliding. So increasing the concentration of the substrate increased the rate of the…
