Practical Assessment 2 – The effect of substrate concentration on the rate of enzyme activity of Catalase Aim To investigate the effect of substrate concentration (manipulated by increasing concentration of hydrogen peroxide) on the rate of enzyme activity of catalase‚ produced by liver cells‚ on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Introduction Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rates of reactions. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction‚ the substrate binds to the active site

Of course‚ we live in an imperfect world and not all surfaces are smooth. When light strikes a rough surface‚ incoming light rays reflect at all sorts of angles because the surface is uneven. This scattering occurs in many of the objects we encounter every day. The surface of paper is a good example. You can see just how rough it is if you peer at it under a microscope. When light hits paper‚ the waves are reflected in all directions. This is what makes paper so incredibly useful -- you can read

The purpose of this practical is to investigate how the pulse rate of humans changes when they exercise. Someone who is physically fit can supply their muscles with enough blood‚ carrying glucose and oxygen‚ for an activity at a lower heart and breathing rate. The fitter you are the lower your resting heart rate. You and your classmates will be the humans investigated. SAFETY: If you know you have any condition that affects you doing exercise‚ please make sure your teacher knows before you start

For this experiment‚ there were four onion bulbs labeled A‚ B‚ C‚ and D. Bulbs B‚ C‚ and D were each immersed in a different concentration of coffee. Bulb A acted as the control because it was not immersed in any concentration of coffee; instead‚ the onion roots grew in water. The following is a list‚ in order‚ of the concentration of caffeine bulbs B‚ C‚ and D were in: 0.1%‚ 0.3%‚ and 0.5%. Four test tubes were gathered to set up the experiment‚ each holding an onion bulb. After each day‚ every

molecules present. This will therefore make the experiment unfair‚ because the more pigment molecules present the more pigment molecules that can move out of the cell. Therefore the beetroot used should be freshly cut. pH The pH is also an important factor‚ as pH can have an effect on the weak interactions and bonds that bound the membrane together. To keep the pH constant it is important to make sure that the same surrounding are used for the experiment. Surface area. The surface area of the beta

Name:_______________________ Class: F.___ Class No:_____ 1. Light and sight We see an object when light from that object enters our eyes. Many rays from the object enter the eye at the same time. However‚ in diagrams‚ we only show two or some rays only. A point gives out many rays but we usually draw _two___ rays to mark out the cone of rays from the point of the object reaching the eye (Fig 1a). To indicate that the eye sees the whole object‚ two cones of rays are drawn from the two

[O2 ] The mechanism for this process is k1 O3 O + O2 k−1 k 2 O + O3 −→ 2 O2 Derive a rate law from these elementary steps. Clearly state the assumptions you use in the derivation. Explain why the rate decreases with increasing O2 concentration. 5. [15 points] Consider the following
