reaction involves enzymes. So to understand how bleach works‚ we first understand how enzymes work. Enzymes Enzymes are the most important thing in our lives‚ it makes the world go ‘round! Enzymes are proteins that acts as catalysts and help combine or break down hydrogen peroxide. Imagine a pen with ink inside it‚ when you write‚ ink comes out‚ right? You can draw‚ you can write‚ then when you finish and get your pen off of the paper‚ the ink stops coming out. Enzymes are like that‚ they

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 have protein since the enzymes in the meat tenderizer were able to break down the Jell-O and prevent it from setting. This data also shows that the amount of enzymes effects the breakdown of proteins since

Substrate concentration and yeast catalase Aim: To see how the substrate concentration in hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of an enzyme controlled reaction using yeast catalase. Introduction: An enzyme is a biological catalyst made of protein. Enzymes are protein molecules found in living organisms and in this case I will use a yeast catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a poisonous by-product of metabolism‚ so it is very

of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse though (Lab Manual 7e‚ 2010). Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium has been reached. This is the point where the concentrations in both areas are equal and no net movement will occur from one area to another. If two solutions have the same solute concentration‚ the solutions

experiment were to investigate the activity of enzymes‚ components that influence the enzyme’s activity‚ identify an unknown phosphatase‚ influence of inhibitors‚ and determine if inhibition is competitive or noncompetitive. A spectrophotometer evaluated the measurement of color change over a period time due to product being formed. Determining unknown phosphatase and effects from different inhibitors were determined by varying the pH and substrate concentrations. The unknown phosphatase analyzed showed

Malaysia Airlines’ Flight 370 Disappearance Have you ever pondered about a plane disappearing in the 21st century and not being able to find it? On March 8th‚ 2014 Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared. The plane was scheduled to take off from Kuala Lumpur‚ Malaysia and to land in Beijing‚ China. The flight held 227 passengers and 12 crew members. It is said that Flight 370 lost contact with air traffic control after less than an hour of flying. A couple hours later the flight was announced missing

A concentration camp is where people got captured and taken to. These people get taken by the Nazis and go to a camp. In these camps some torched‚ beaten‚ some have a disease. This was a place for punishment. Hitler got a group of people called the nazis and rounded up millions of people to tourche in these concentration camps. Concentration camps are a brutal place. Over 40‚000 men‚ women‚ babies‚ kids people of all sorts got taken. Some people tried to hide out but it didn’t really work out for

Objective To determine soluble solid concentration in some fruits including tropical and temperate fruits by using handheld refractometer. Introduction “Sugar are the major soluble in fruits juices and estimate of sweetness. Other soluble materials include organic and amino acids‚ soluble pectins‚ and others. Soluble solid concentration can be determined in a small sample of fruits juice using a hand held refractometer. The measurement must be made at 20°C to get an accurate value. This instrument
