Omar Shbeeb Toothpick Enzyme Lab 9/25/13 Introduction Enzymes are used in all metabolic reactions to control the rate of reactions and decrease the amount of energy necessary for the reaction to take place. They are responsible for the thousands of chemical interconversions that sustain life. Enzymes are referred to highly selective catalysts‚ meaning they speed up the rate of metabolic reactions. To react‚ they need to find a perfect match with a substrate. They converge at a place called an

1. At substrate concentration‚ the enzyme is working at “maximum efficiency.” With a concentration at 40‚ it produced 2‚339 products. 2. The maximum velocity of a reaction is reached when the active sites are almost continuously filled. Increased substrate concentration after this point will not increase the rate. The reaction rate increases as substrate concentration is increased. It will soon level off though. 3. When the concentration is at low substrate‚ most of the enzyme molecules are not

8/12/2013 Intro I am going to investigate a factor that affects the rate of enzyme activity What are enzymes and how do they work? Enzymes are biological catalysts - catalysts are substances that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being used up. Enzymes are also proteins and thus have a specific shape. They are therefore specific in the reactions that they catalyse - one enzyme will react with molecules of one substrate. The site of the reaction occurs in an area on

Most materials move by simple diffusion from high concentration to low concentration. Some substances may be actively transported‚ which requires energy. The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis is the net movement of molecules through a semi-permeable [1] membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area with a high solute concentration. In this investigation‚ we are testing how concentration effects the rate of osmosis Hypothesis: The more

I. Aim The aim of the three experiments is actually to investigate the effects of different factors such as temperature‚ pH‚ and concentration of substrate‚ on the activity of the enzymes. By conducting these three separate experiments also‚ three graphs are able to be obtained where the trend of each factor affecting on the enzyme activity is shown and described clearly. II. Hypothesis Experiment 1 (Effect of Temperature): As the temperature increases‚ the height of the bubble will increase

The main concentration camp was Auschwitz. Auschwitz was the largest camp that was created by the Nazi. It was broken down into three main camps. The first camp was built in April 1940. It was known as Auschwitz 1. The second camp was built in October 1941. It was known as Birkenau. The third Camp was built in October 1942. It was known as Buna. The number of Victims in the Auschwitz Complex alone were absurd. The SS and police killed about 1.1 million people of all different backgrounds out of the

could have sympathized more with them. These survivors would have felt that they had real friends who wanted to make life easier. This is why I want to gain insight into what life was truly like. I would want to spend the day walking around a concentration camp. To be able to see the actual site of where these people were held would be such an eye opening experience. The

The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity and Oxygen Production Throughout this report you will gain information as to how temperature effects the amount of oxygen produced in an enzyme- catalase experiment. In the experiment we used liver extract as a catalase and created a chemical reaction within a reaction chamber between the catalase and hydrogen peroxide as well as three different controlled temperatures. In the procedure below there will be a step by step process as to how

completely unaware of the horrific events about to unfold that would overshadow their city still today. The citizens of Dachau were oblivious that their city was going to become the origin of concentration camps and of the Holocaust‚ the mass murder committed by the Nazi s in World War II. Dachau Concentration Camp‚ which would soon be placed on the edge of their community‚ would serve as a model for all Nazi extermination camps. This perfect prototype of a Nazi killing machine has come to represent
