Enzyme Lab Introduction/ Abstract An enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. They are mainly made up of proteins and can tremendously speed up reactions. E. coli ( a bacterium) has about 1‚000 different types of enzymes floating around in its cytoplasm at any given time. Enzymes can be used to join and even break up molecules as shown in the diagram below. (1)

Description: A peroxidase enzyme‚ which was extracted from a brassica compestris (turnip)‚ is tested under various conditions in temperature‚ pH level‚ and competitive inhibitor (hydroxylamine). ABSTRACT: In order to determine the properties of an enzyme‚ a peroxidase enzyme was extracted from a brassica compestris (turnip) and tested under various temperatures‚ pH levels‚ and by a competitive inhibitor (hydroxylamine). The enzyme activity was measured in various ways depending on the activity

Review the introduction to Lab Topic 15 plant diversity 1 and describe the major trends in the evolution of land plants. The major trend is leaning toward the sporophyte dominating the life cycle‚ which means the gametophyte is decreasing. The reason why sporophyte might be dominating

Enzyme Lab Report Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that enable chemical reactions. In the enzyme lab‚ the effects of concentration‚ temperature and pH on the functionality of the enzyme catalase. The enzyme lab was also about measuring reactions by capturing the oxygen that was generated by the reaction. Materials and Methods: Experiment 1‚ 2‚ & 3 Experiment 1 examined the effects of concentration on catalase activity. Experiment 2 examined the effects of concentration in temperature

Siddharth Tirumala Mrs. Kiriazis IB1 Biology 22 August 2013 Diffusion Lab Write-Up Research Question: How does the temperature of the water affect the diffusion of food coloring? Hypothesis: Food coloring will dissolve faster as the temperature of the water increases. Variables: Name of Variable | What is it? | How is it measured? | Units | Range of the data | Independent | Temp. of Water | Thermometer | oC (Celsius) | | Dependent | Rate of diffusion of food coloring | Stopwatch

According to the results in this lab Jell-O must contain protein due to the fact that the meat tenderizer was able to break down the Jell-O much the same as it would break down the proteins in meat. 5. Did the amount of meat tenderizer give different results? The amount of meat tenderizer did give different results‚ cup â»2 with the least amount of tenderizer did not break down as much as the cup â»3 with the most tenderizer. Conclusion According to this lab it demonstrated that Jell-O does

structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell and is named according to the substrate they specifically affect. An enzyme works best under optimal conditions pertaining to temperature‚ pH level and salt concentration1. In unfavorable conditions enzymes will become denatured and ineffective

Enzyme lab report. Introduction. An enzyme is a protein molecule that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions by many folds. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change thus can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy also known as an energy barrier is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. Catecholase catalyzes the reaction rate of catechol oxidation. Catechol is found beneath the skin of many plants such

LAB 12 Introduction In this lab you will use the Wireshark packet analyzer to capture and display the control information and data stored in packets transmitted over a network. Wireshark collects network traffic data and creates files that display packet header information in a layered format like that used by the Internet model. These layers can be expanded to view details that may prove helpful in determining the source of problems that your network might be experiencing. Creating filters that

The effect of time on enzyme reaction. Abstract: In this lab investigation we will observe how the amount of hydrogen peroxide is affected by catalase over time. The enzyme was added to 10 mL’s of hydrogen peroxide and observed over time to determine the relation between time and enzyme activity. The hypothesis stated that as time increased substrate would decrease. Therefore I predicted that at 60 seconds‚ there would be the least amount of H2O2. The enzyme activity mirrored my predictions
