Because of the feature of active site‚ each kind of enzymes therefore is specific for a particular reaction. However‚ there are several factors affect the rate of enzyme reactions‚ they are temperature‚ pH‚ concentration of enzyme‚ concentration of substrate and inhibitors. High temperature and pH affects the structure of enzyme‚ irreversible denaturation occurs‚ the shape of active site is changed‚ enzymes therefore no longer function. The effect of the other factors is slowing down the rate of enzyme

Cell structure and organization • Chloroplasts o Site of photosynthesis where light energy is absorbed o Consist of grana which are stacked up to increase surface area for absorption of light o Only present in plant cells • Cell membrane (plasma membrane) o Lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell‚ interspersed with protein molecule o Presence of temporary pores o Selectively permeable Controls movement of substances o Diffusion‚ osmosis and active transport can therefore take place o Prevent outflowing

Sterling Hayden AP Biology Mrs. Proehl 24 November 2014 I. Title Effect of Differing pH‚ Temperature‚ and Enzyme Concentration on Catalase Reaction Rate II. Introduction Enzymes are used to increase the rate of specific reactions in the body. Catalase‚ a specific enzyme‚ speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide‚ a toxic chemical produced by cells in the body‚ into water and oxygen (Cain and others‚ 2010). The oxygen can be observed as bubbles coming from the reaction site. Catalase is found in many living tissues of organisms

and what colour does it turn in presence of starch and glycogen? Starch: yellow --> blue-black (amylase in starch reacts with iodine) Glycogen: yellow --> reddish-brown (due to the multi-branched component) 5) How do plants and animals store simple sugar glucose? In the form of polysaccharides. In plants‚ starch is the polysaccharide with glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds. Glycogen‚ in animals‚ is a larger polymer. 6) How do starch and glycogen differ? Molecular weight‚ overall

less active. C.) Graph #2 C.) Explanation The substrate is consumed faster since there is twice as much enzyme. The starch would have broken down the substrate fastest in the first ten minutes‚ which is why the graph’s 2nd point is double. But it still levels out at the same time and the concentration of the maltose is consistent with the original because no extra starch was used. However‚ since the rate of reaction is being doubled as well‚ that means the maltose would level off much quicker

As enzymes normally only catalyse one reaction the substrate has to fit in the specific shape (active site) and if it doesn’t fit in (lock and key method) then the enzyme won’t be catalysed. b.) As when the enzyme is denatured it’s special shape is destroyed‚ thus destroying it’s active site meaning that

Digestive system 6.1.1 explain why digestion of large food molecules is essential * Large food molecules are polymers‚ broken down into monomers in order to be absorbed into the blood * Humans eat substances by other organsims‚ many which are not suitable for human tissues therefore they must be broken down and reassembled in a form that is suitable * Many molecules in foods are too large to be absorbed by the villi in the small intestine‚ the large molecules have to be broken down

Understanding the functions of the body systems associated with energy metabolism Energy is used for many of the bodily functions including the ability to ventilate‚ respire‚ move‚ grow and repair. The first law of thermo dynamics states that energy can be transformed from one state to another but cannot be lost. Energy comes in many forms‚ some of these are as follows:- Light Sound Kinetic Heat Chemical In accordance with the First Law an example of how energy can transform is when the sun creates

sandwich includes a lot of nutrients that we need in a balanced diet. The cheese sandwich is made of bread‚ cheese and butter. Each ingredient in the sandwich carries different nutrients. The bread is in the carbohydrates group which means it contains starch and glucose. The cheese and butter is in the dairy food group‚ so it contains fat and protein. Our body needs these nutrients because we use it for growth‚ maintenance of healthy tissues and energy. Balanced Diet and Nutrients A balanced diet contains
