Enzyme Lab Report

Question
How heats effect the length of reaction time of an enzyme?

Hypothesis
I think the heat will make the length of reaction time of an enzyme become slowly. Heat is one of a way to denature the substrate. It means the heat will break down the structure of substrate in order the reaction of enzymes that we activated into it become slowly.

Method for Collecting Data
First I will record the length of reaction time with stopwatch when I pour peroxide liquid into the tube that has potato or meat inside. Then I put the result in my data table. Second I will record the length of reaction time with stopwatch when I pour peroxide liquid into the tube that has potato or meat that has been heated. Then I put the result in my data table.

Variable
Independent Variable : Heat
Dependent Variable : length of the reaction time

Constants
Amount of peroxide liquid used, length of the heating time, temperature of boiling water.

Method of Controlling Variables
I will consistently pour 5 mL peroxide liquid into the each tube that has potato or meat to see the reaction time. I will consistently heat the potato and meat for 1 minute each. To control the temperature of the boiling water when I heat the substrate, I will keep the hot water in heater with always point the number 7 for the temperature setting.

Materials
Stopwatch
Test tube
6 little piece of potato (cut into square shape)
6 Little piece of meat
Peroxide liquid

Procedure
Put each substrate in different tube. Don’t forget to label potato or meat.
Pour 5 mL of peroxide liquid into the tube of substrate.
Record the reaction time with stopwatch during the bubbles still on. It’s mean the reaction still on. When the bubbles gone, it’s mean the reaction is stop.
Try the experiment again until 3 times. Then put the result in data table.
Put each substrate in different tube. Don’t forget to label potato or meat.
Heat

    The prediction for the effects of temperature on the enzyme activity was that the reaction’s rate would increase as the temperature increased, until they go over the optimum temperature where the enzymes denature and the reaction’s rate quickly drops to zero. At 5 degree C the rate is 0.00059mole PNP/min. This then increases to 0.01031mmoles PNP/min at a temperature of 50 degree C. The rate then drops drastically to -0.00215moles PNP/min. This point is where the enzymes have been denatured and have no activity, shown as the last point on the fig 8 and 9, do not fit on the graph. The optimum temperature was about 47 degree C. The core body temperature is only about 37 degree C and thus these enzymes are operating below their optimum temperature.…

    The results of our experiment showed the solutions in both tube 1 and tube 2 increasing in absorbency in the first eight minutes but then tube 1 continued to increase while tube 2 began to balance out. Tube 3, our blank, managed to stay at 0nm the entire twenty minutes. From this data, we can conclude that our hypothesis was supported that EDTA had a greater change in absorption over PTU.…

    Enzymes are proteins that are involved in all the chemical processes in living things. As they are made of proteins they are affected by pH and temperature. Enzymes are catalysts; they speed up chemical reactions without being changed themselves. Digestive enzymes speed up the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller ones so that the blood can absorb them. Enzymes turn a large starch molecule into thousands of tiny glucose molecules. Enzymes end in 'ase'. There are thousands of enzymes in our body but each enzyme is only specialised to do one thing, for example carbohydraise enzymes digest carbohydrates, protease enzymes digest protein.…

    Description of Experiment: Three plastic beakers were used for this experiment. In one, a 20 mL of 1% hydrogen peroxide solution was made. In order to get this, the stock solution, which was 3%, was diluted using 10 mL of hydrogen peroxide and 20 mL of water. In the second beaker, a ¼ dilution of potato extract was made using 2 mL of potato extract and 6 mL of water. The third plastic beaker contained 8 mL of water. Using the first and second beaker the experimental assay was performed. Using forceps a small paper disk was dipped into the second beaker containing the potato catalase for exactly 5 seconds. It was next dried on a paper towel for 5 seconds, and finally placed at the bottom of the first beaker, which contained hydrogen peroxide solution. The timer was then started. The timer stopped when the paper disk floated up to the top of the beaker. This was performed 3 times. After this, two negative controls were tested. The first negative control used a denatured catalase instead of the potato extract. The…
