Graph 1 Lab Report
In Graph 1, each line of color represents a different level of pH added to the solution. When pH 9 was added, it produced the highest rate of reaction (the most oxygen was produced), whereas when the more acidic pH 5 was added, the rate of reaction was much slower, and less efficient. The higher the oxygen evolved (gas produced), the more reactions were being produced/higher rate of reaction. Different types of enzymes’ reaction proportions differ based on the pH being added. For example, intestinal enzymes may react differently to pH than liver enzymes (catalase) which was tested.
The hypothesis was proved to be correct due the rate of reaction increasing as the pH levels got more basic. Based on Graph 1, the slope of the pH 9 line was more

    Purpose: Cells produce toxic wastes, in this experiment hydrogen peroxide, and without some sort of molecule to break it down the cell will die, along with the organism itself. However with the aid of an enzyme, catalase, hydrogen peroxide is able to be broken down into an intermediate and thereafter harmless substances water and oxygen. The goal of this lab is to measure the reaction rate of this process in different substances such as a liver, a vegetable, and breast tissue. By using variables such a pH and temperature we are able to how the rate of reaction is altered or improved. If it has improved, the optimum has been discovered and the enzyme will create a higher reaction rate. If above the optimal points, proteins will denature and the reaction rate will remain the same. This is vital for cellular activity for if homeostasis is not reached enzymatic activity will decrease or the enzymes will simply denature and the toxicity within the cell will increase killing the cell.…

    1. The Respiratory exchange ratio is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced and oxygen consumed. The ratio indicates the energy that the subject is expending for indirect calorimetry, how efficient the subject 's body is at utilizing the oxygen inhaled, as well as the main substrate being used for energy during varying intensities of exercise. During rest the volume of carbon dioxide was 0.73L/min, the volume of oxygen was 0.84L/min. The RQ or RER was 0.87. Based on Table 5.1(Kenney,Wilmore, &Costill, 2012; Physiology of Sport and Exercise(5th ed.) The ratio indicates that roughly 68% of the kcal that the subject was using came from carbohydrates and the remaining 32% of the kcal came from fat. During the 50W stage the volume of carbon dioxide was 2.2L/min and the volume of oxygen was 2.9L/min. The RQ was 0.79, which indicates that the 33% of the kcal that the subject was using came from carbohydrates and that 67% of the kcal came from fat. In the 100W stage the volume of carbon dioxide was 4.08L/min and the volume of oxygen consumed was 4.1L/min. The RQ came out o be 0.99, the substrate being used was only carbohydrates at this point. The 200w stage had a carbon dioxide volume of 7.91L/min and a oxygen consumed volume of 6.51L/min. The RQ was 1.2 which indicates that the body is producing more carbon dioxide than the oxygen being consumed. The substrate being used for energy again is only carbohydrates.…

    In part two of the enzyme lab, we have 12 different test tubes, six of each (#1, 2, 4, 9, 11, and 12) being a substrate with guiacol product indicator, and a neutral buffer. The guiacol is a naturally organic compound and is actually a phosphate. The other six test tubes (#3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10) had the enzyme turnip peroxidase and different pH solutions for each of the six test tubes. The different pH levels were 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10. The lower the pH, the more acidic the liquid is. The higher the pH, the more basic with alkaline. We mixed the six test tubes with the first tube of chemicals with their corresponding tube and pH as labeled in the instructions. We measured the rate of oxygen produced in each using the color palette like we did in part one of this lab. We found that the more neutral (closer to pH 7) the higher the reaction rate. When the pH level was very acidic or basic, the rate of reaction was lower. In terms of comparison to color, the more neutral the pH, the darker the solution was. The solution was lighter when the rate was lower. This happened because of the enzyme’s tolerance to outside factors. In this experiment, it was pH, but other factors could be temperature and the amount of…
