The temperature of water was determined by a thermometer. 1 cm stripped ends of the wires was hooked into the input posts on the back of the impendence converter. Lab tutor module was started after. B. Baseline heart rate The top of the container was covered with foil and the animal was allowed to sit quietly for 10 min. The trace was examined by pressing start. After that the baseline or the controlled

Effect of Catalase at Different Temperatures Abstract The role of this experiment is to determine the effect of temperature on enzymatic activity. The results of the experiment were the colder the temperature the slower the reaction rate and the hotter the temperature the faster the reaction rate. Introduction Enzymes are chemical substances found in living cells and they act as catalysts of the various chemical reactions that occur in them.(Preszler‚ 2012) They bind to substrates that have

However with the aid of an enzyme‚ catalase‚ hydrogen peroxide is able to be broken down into an intermediate and thereafter harmless substances water and oxygen. The goal of this lab is to measure the reaction rate of this process in different substances such as a liver‚ a vegetable‚ and breast tissue. By using variables such a pH and temperature we are able to how the rate of reaction is altered or improved. If it has improved‚ the optimum has been discovered and the enzyme will create a higher reaction

bleaches and cleansing wounds. In a cell its build up would be highly toxic. However‚ liver cells contain an enzyme‚ catalase‚ which immediately breaks down hydrogen peroxide. It is a peroxidase and breaks up the toxic hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen which are both nontoxic. The reaction is exothermic‚ meaning that energy is released in the form of heat. It is the fastest known enzyme. Hydrogen peroxide Water + Oxygen 2H2O2 2H2O O2 List of materials: Safety glasses Iron powder in a watch

the acyl-enzyme is then hydrolysed by nucleophilic attack of serine on the peptide carbonyl group‚ collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate and the release of the amine component. Histidine 57 then acts as a general acid catalyst and draws a proton away from the water molecule. The OH- ion then attacks the carbonyl carbon atom of the acyl group which forms another tetrahedral intermediate which breaks down to form the carboxylic acid product. The release of this acid then frees up the enzyme to continue

6 November 2012 SUBJECT: Lab Report Analysis This memo proposes the observations and claims I collected from reviewing three different lab reports. Three fields of study are composed within this memo that includes Electrical Engineering‚ Environmental Engineering‚ and Petroleum Engineering. “Electrical Filters‚” (Electrical)‚ written by Joe Schmoe‚ is a lab report made by a student at a university. The College Board produced an environmental lab report named‚ “Monitoring Air Quality‚”

Enzymes are naturally occurring biological catalysts that are extremely efficient and specific. Enzymes accelerate the rate of a reaction by factors of at least a million as compared to the same reaction without the enzyme. Most biological reaction rates are not perceivable in the absence of the enzyme. The term enzyme was first used by a German pshysiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1897. There are over 700 different kinds of enzymes that have been identified. Enzymes can be classified into several categories

Are there any differences in the rate of metabolism of a dried yeast culture with differing carbohydrate sources? In the current practical that was undertaken the growth rate of yeast (S. cerevisiae) with differing carbohydrates sources : Glucose (C6H12O6)‚ Fructose (C6H12O6)‚ Lactose (C12H22O11)‚ Xylitol “(CHOH)3(CH2OH)2” and Water (H2O) as a Control were observed. “ Yeast are single-celled fungi which consist of more than one thousand different species which have been identified.
