    The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity and Oxygen Production Throughout this report you will gain information as to how temperature effects the amount of oxygen produced in an enzyme- catalase experiment. In the experiment we used liver extract as a catalase and created a chemical reaction within a reaction chamber between the catalase and hydrogen peroxide as well as three different controlled temperatures. In the procedure below there will be a step by step process as to how

    Activity of the Enzyme Catalase in breaking down Hydrogen Peroxide and the effect of various factors on Enzyme Activity Introduction The enzyme catalase is present in cells in order to speed the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‚ which is a toxic chemical to the human body. When hydrogen peroxide is broken down‚ the end products are Water (H2O) and Oxygen (O2). In this report‚ the reaction of catalase to hydrogen peroxide is being tested. Furthermore‚ the effects of temperature‚ concentration

    Abstract: Enzymes‚ molecules that speed up chemical reactions‚ are specific to one substrate. In this experiment the substrate hydrogen peroxide and the enzyme catalase will be used. The higher the concentration of potato extract‚ or catalase‚ the faster the reaction and the more substrate present will result in a decrease in the time of the reaction. The amount of concentrations of enzymes and substrates are changed to determine if the reaction is further catalyzed by a greater concentration of

    Broadly speaking‚ enzymes are proteins that is produced to perform as a biological catalyst in chemical reactions. Catalyst are used to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. In this study‚ we performed two different experiments that investigated the effect of varying substrate concentration‚ and the effect of temperature on the rate of Enzyme-Catalase reaction. In experiment one (i.e. the effect of varying substrate concentration on the rate of enzyme-catalase reaction) we tested the hypothesis

    The data from the experiment demonstrates that the catalase enzyme breaks down the hydrogen peroxide due to its harmful toxicity to the liver. In section A‚ the effect surface area has on the enzyme was tested. The results have proven that as the surface area increases‚ the reaction rate of the enzyme also increases. To illustrate‚ when the liver was ground‚ the bubbles from the reaction reached a maximum height of 150mm in five seconds less than the unground liver which merely reached a maximum

    Catalase Enzyme Lab Samiya Hussein March 9‚ 2012 Introduction In order to receive the necessary amounts of energy required for daily function‚ the digestive system must break down proteins‚ fats and carbohydrates. In doing so‚ the body produces poisonous chemicals; however‚ the cells aren’t harmed. This is because enzymes are used to break down these chemicals. The name of the enzyme that was the main focus of the lab is catalase. Catalase is responsible for catalyzing hydrogen peroxide

    Varibles that affect Enzyme Catalysis Reaction Rates Introduction Molecules are constantly moving in our bodies and in nature. When molecules move fast enough they collide into one another‚ allowing chemical reactions to occur. Factors such as temperature and concentrations can either help increase or decrease these reactions. (Jubenville.) Enzymes are known as catalyst because they are able to speed up reaction rates without being destroyed or altered. They are able to encourage chemical reactions

    An enzyme is a tertiary globular protein. The function of an enzyme is to lower the activation energy of either the creation or breaking apart of a chemical bond. By lowering the activation energy of this process‚ the reaction of bonding‚ or in this case breaking apart‚ is sped up. An enzyme breaks apart the substrate in the active site of the enzyme; this is where the magic happens. Substrate is what is being broken apart by the enzyme. In this case‚ the enzyme is catalase and the substrate is hydrogen
