    Metabolism is the term used to describe the chemical reactions that take place inside a cell. Metabolic pathways are a series of these reactions catalysed by enzymes, and are carried out in small steps so that the product of one step can be the substrate of the next. The synthesis of larger molecules from this is called anabolism (e.g. constructing tissue) and the breaking down of these larger molecules is called catabolism (Dow et al., 1995, pp185-186).…

    On the biochemical level, enzymes work at precise temperatures and pH levels. When the temperature goes up, enzyme activity speeds up. When temperatures decrease, enzyme activity slows down. If an enzyme is at too high of a temperature, it stops functioning. Stomach enzymes function in a more acidic environment (low pH) and intestinal enzymes work in a more alkaline environment (high pH).…

    Metabolism is the broad term used for all biochemical reactions occurring in the body. Metabolism involves catabolism, a process by which complex materials are broken down into simpler substances, usually with the aid of enzymes found in the body cells. Metabolism also involves anabolism, in which the smaller materials are built up by enzymes into larger, more complex molecules. When larger molecules are made, energy is stored in the various bonds formed. When bonds are broken in catabolism, energy that was stored in the bonds is released for use by…

    The aim of this EEI was to test the effects of temperature on the activity of the enzyme Amylase. Solutions of starch and amylase were held at selected temperatures by various methods of temperature control. Once the solutions reached and maintained the desired temperature they were combined. Samples at timed intervals were then taken and reacted with a reagent to determine the effect the selected temperatures had on the reaction rate of enzyme and substrate. Results indicated that the enzyme functions efficiently at its optimum temperature (50oC) digesting the starch present and that any sign of enzyme function at 70oC is completely nonexistent. In summary the experiments conducted in the EEI succeeded in demonstrating the effects temperature has enzyme activity and just how vital enzymes are for biological life.…
