The old hydrogen peroxide solution used with the room temperature liver
From experiment II was acquired and a new liver sample was placed in the solution; But no
Reaction occurred. Their collection of O2 was not recorded for this experiment.

In Experiment IV, the iced liver from Experiment II was returned to room temperature
And was placed into a new solution of H2O2; It produced 43.5 milliliters of O2 in six minutes.
The results of the iced liver returned to room temperature was compared to the other result of the
Iced liver in Experiment II. Table 2 shows the O2 collected at one minute intervals for the iced
Liver and when the iced liver returned to room temperature.

In the final experiment V, the liver in a solution of pH 3.0, 3% H2O2 produced the least Amount of O2; 0 millimeters in 6 minutes. The liver in a solution of pH 10.0, 3% H2O2 produced More O2 than pH 3.0, but less than pH 7.0. It produced 13.2 milliliters of O2 in six minutes. The Results of the liver at pH 7.0, 3% H2O2 were acquired from the room temperature liver from Experiment II, and it produced the most amount of O2; 41.4 In six minutes. Graph 2 shows the Comparisons of the O2 produced for pH 3.0, pH 7.0, and pH

    The purpose of this experiment was to inspect the effect of environmental conditions on hydrogen peroxidase. The three conditions tested were the effect of peroxidase concentration on the rate of the experiment, the effect of pH of the rate of peroxidase activity, and the effect of temperature on the rate of peroxidase activity. During the lab, the lab group tested 7 test tubes, including 1 blank, with different amounts of pH 5 buffer, H2O2, Peroxidase, and Guaiacol. After the certain amount of mL per substance was mixed, the absorbance readings for the effect of peroxidase concentration were taken from the spectrophotometer. The results for the effect…

    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 control for this experiment will be the goldfish in plain fish water and the experiential trials will be goldfish in artificially sweetened fish water when obtaining oxygen concentration in the closed chamber. The artificial sweetener will be aspartame, which is very popular artificial sweetener. First obtain a cup of 200 ml of fish water and weigh the cup and then put two goldfish in the each cup and then find weights of the goldfish (in grams) as this can influence metabolism. Next warm up probe for 10 minutes and open up LoggerLite. The probe will read the concentration of oxygen in the chamber and send it to LoggerLite to get a reading of oxygen concentration every 20 seconds for ten minutes.…

    The purpose of this lab was to test if ethanol affects the reaction involving hydrogen peroxide and catalase. Tests were performed by putting chicken liver, ethanol solution (diluted ethanol solution for other trials) and hydrogen peroxide in a test tube with a side arm, and having a rubber tube lead the oxygen gas into a gas collection tube. Results from the tests showed a negative correlation, this means that the more diluted the solution of 95% ethanol was, the less oxygen gas collected. Controlling a number of factors which include human error, temperature change, pH levels, substrate concentrations and ensuring a controlled experimental environment will work to increase the accuracy of the experiment.…

    For Activity A, we first tested enzyme activity. First, we used an H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into an unlabeled 60-mL cup. Then, we used a transfer pipet to add one mL of catalase solution into the unlabeled 60-mL cup that we put H2O2 in. After that, we observed the solution for one minute. Then we tested the effect of boiling on enzyme activity. First we used a transfer pipet to transfer 4 mL of catalase into a test tube. After that, we placed the test tube filled with catalase in a boiling water bath for five minutes. While we were waiting, we rinsed the unlabeled cup we used earlier when we tested enzyme activity. Then we used a H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into the rinsed unlabeled cup. After five minutes, we transferred 1 mL of the boiling catalase into the unlabeled cup with H2O2 in it with an unused transfer pipet and observed the results. After testing the effect of boiling on enzyme activity, we tested for catalase in living tissue. First, we rinsed the unlabeled 60 mL cup we used earlier. Then, we used a scalpel to cut a small piece of liver. After that, we macerated the piece of liver with a glass rod. When the liver was macerated enough, we put it in a cup with 10 mL of H2O2, which was transferred into the cup with a H2O2 syringe. Lastly, we observed the cup.…

    The rate of enzyme activity is highest when the temperature is the highest and lowest when the temperature is lowest. The temperature causes the enzymes to speed up and produce more product when heated and slows down when cooled. This is seen in the data gathered during the temperature part of the lab.…

    Introduction: Enzymes are catalysts, because they control the rate of the reaction that helps chemical reactions work properly within living organisms. They are specialised proteins that have a unique shape and chemical composition that creates an active site for connection between the enzyme and substrates. The substrate molecules bind to the active site, inducing a temporary change in the shape of the enzyme known as induced fit. Enzymes catalyse and modify the rate of biomechanical reactions without becoming a part of the product of reaction. Like all proteins, enzymes are made in the ribosomes by linking together amino acids from the cytoplasm. Their action is dependent upon their ability to fit with the molecule reactants; otherwise the reaction will not proceed. For example, study from previous experiments demonstrates that the maltose present will not turn into glucose until it enters the intestine (different catalyst). There are diverse types of enzymes that work best under certain optimum conditions including temperature, pH and substrate concentration. Enzymes can be used more than once and are very important to cell functioning; therefore only small quantities of them are required in the cell. The effect of temperature on enzyme activity is; lower temperatures (0 C) will cause the substrates to move at a significantly slow speed to collide and react with the enzyme therefore very little product will be produced, where as too high of a temperature (100 C) will cause denaturing in the enzyme and very little product will be produced, and lastly room temperature (37 C) will provide the most product of the temperatures being tested. In the presence of starch iodine turns…

    If the temperature rises above 37∙C, enzymes stop working and become denatured. This occurs as part of the enzyme called the active site is changed by a rise in temperature and so, certain molecules can no longer bind to the enzyme, and the reaction cannot take place.…

    Week One: the experiment started off by preparing 250mL of NaOH solution. About 0.5 grams of NaOH were measured and then inserted into a 250mL volumetric flask. Once the NaOH was in the flask, it was then filled up to the 250mL line using deionized water. After the water was put in the flask, the solution was then mixed well until the NaOH dissolved well in the water. The second solution that was prepared was KHP. This was done by measuring 1 gram of KHP. After that was completed, the KHP was put in a beaker and filled up using 50mL of demonized water and mixed well until the KHP dissolved well in the water. Three drops of the indicator phenolphthalein were put in the KHP solution.…
