Effects of pH on fungal amylase activity BI 211 November 25‚ 2011 Introduction In recent years‚ the uses of microorganisms have become a huge importance to industry and sparked a large interest into the exploration of enzyme activity in microorganisms. Amylase is one of the most widely used enzyme required for the preparation of fermented foods. Apart from food and starch industries‚ in which demand for them is increasing continuously‚ amylase is also used in

The Effect of Soil pH on the Living Conditions In Lumbricus terrestris Abstract The difference in soil pH weighs a heavy measure on the appearance of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris in different areas of soil. A highly acidic or highly alkaline soil may be the underlying reason for the absence of this earthworm in certain areas where pH plays a large role. In this experiment‚ soil pH was altered with Miracida soil acidifier and Agricultural Limestonea soil correctional for acidic soil

of Hydrogen ions‚ our cells cannot function properly. This experiment was conducted to determine if the reaction rate changes in response to a variation of acidic‚ neutral‚ and basic solutions. The experimental results indicated that the basic/high pH solution has a faster rate of reaction in the solution. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that catalyze and convert molecules into combinations of other molecules which is necessary for the functions of human life. These enzymes are affected

dissolved Carbon Dioxide on the pH of Water Aim: To investigate the effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on the pH of water. Hypothesis: The dissolved carbon dioxide will cause the water to turn acid‚ lowering the pH when carbon dioxide dissolves in water in which it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3). Materials: Straws‚ distilled water‚ safety glasses‚ pH probe‚ computer‚ universal indicator‚ gloves‚ lab coats‚ measuring cylinder‚ data logger‚ printer‚ pH chart. Substance of risk Nature

The Effects of Varying pH on Enzyme Activity A lab was conducted to test different pH balances on an enzyme. Introduction: Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. Enzymes are three-dimensional structures that consist of one or more polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains form an active site (where a substrate will fit into). Enzyme molecules are folded into a very specific shape held together by the different forces of attraction

Investigating pH Aim: To demonstrate dissolved carbon dioxide changing the ph level of substances. Materials: * 2 beakers * 2 straws * Stop watch * Distilled water * Lime water * Litmus Paper Method: 1. Pour 100ml of Distilled water into the first beaker‚ and label said beaker. 2. Pour 100ml of Lime water into the second‚ also Label beaker. 3. Test the two liquids with litmus paper and note the ph level‚ before any carbon dioxide has been introduced. 4. Place a straw

Effects of hyperventilation on CO2 and pH levels Alidrin Armandico Physiology Lab 142 Egle Ortega Aprill 25‚ 2014 Abstract The aim of this experiment was to analyze how pH and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the blood change during hyperventilation and how the renal system compensates for this condition. Hyperventilation decreases CO2‚ increases pH‚ and lowers H+ levels which then results to respiratory alkalosis. In the experiment‚ we used the PhysioEx 8.0 software to simulate hyperventilation
