Effects of Changes in Physical Properties on Enzyme Activity By Alex Hoffmann First Individual Lab Report Wednesday 7:30-10:15pm 10/24/12 Meghan Duell Abstract The goal of this lab was to determine the effects of certain physical properties on enzyme activity. Enzyme activity was measured by the height of the bubbles that appeared after the enzyme was added which are proportional to the rate of the reaction when time is constant. The fact that enzyme activity is affected by physical

The Effect of Concentration‚ pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity Biology For Majors October 4‚ 2012 Abstract We examined the reaction an enzyme has when its concentration‚ pH and temperature are altered. In order to do this‚ we added different levels of pH into different test tubes with the enzyme (sucrose)‚ and substrate (sucrose)‚ and we then inverted the tube. The higher pH produced more enzyme activity. Temperature effects enzyme activity by decreasing its stability when the temperature

The Effect Of Substrate Concentration On The Activity Of The Enzyme Catalase A Level Biology Project Aims This is an experiment to examine how the concentration of the substrate hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase. Background Information Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction. Catalase

CHAPTER 4: ENZYMES Enzymes are biological catalysts. There are about 40‚000 different enzymes in human cells‚ each controlling a different chemical reaction. They increase the rate of reactions by a factor of between 106 to 1012 times‚ allowing the chemical reactions that make life possible to take place at normal temperatures. They were discovered in fermenting yeast in 1900 by Buchner‚ and the name enzyme means "in yeast". As well as catalysing all the metabolic reactions of cells (such as respiration

Basic Biochemistry CP2085 Effect of Temperature‚ Study and Measure of Enzymes Activity Abstract This experiment investigates the effect that temperature has on the rate of activity of enzyme β-galactosidase and also the rate of β-galactosidase activity in different concentration of substrate over time. Ο-nitrophenylgalactoside (ONPG) is used as a substrate for β-galactosidase. A spectrophotometer is used to detect the change in colour of the substrate. Results show that increase in temperature

An experiment to investigate the Stroop effect in which participants are asked to name the colour in which a word is written‚ that word having either a colour- association or a neutral association. ABSTRACT. This study was an investigation of the cognitive processes at work during a variation of the classic Stroop test and effect‚ in which the degree of intrusion into automatic thought processes may be witnessed in a colour identification task. It was found that the rate of word identification

What was the Bauhaus and what was its purpose? The Bauhaus was a school of art‚ architecture and design that existed in three German cities including Weimar‚ Dessau‚ and Berlin. The school was founded by Walter Gropius in 1919 and it lasted until 1933. During its time‚ Bauhaus went through different distinct periods under different directors and cities including expressionism‚ constructivism‚ functionalism and architecture. The Bauhaus was the start of modernism‚ at the same time‚ it changed the

College General Biology I Enzymes‚ test for effect of pH on catalase activity Purpose The main purpose of this experiment was to learn about enzymes and how to test for the effect of pH on catalase activity and to be able to tell if a reaction is an exergonic or endergonic process. Introduction Enzymes are made from amino acids‚ which are made from proteins. In order to make an enzyme‚ hundreds of amino acids are strung together in a very specific and unique order and eventually is folded
