structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell and is named according to the substrate they specifically affect. An enzyme works best under optimal conditions pertaining to temperature‚ pH level and salt concentration1. In unfavorable conditions enzymes will become denatured and ineffective

Effects of pH on the Function of Enzymes Rena Mototani Glen Rock High School Advanced Biology 2014-2015 Effects of pH on the Function of Catalase Rena Mototani Problem: How does the pH of a cell affect the function of the enzyme catalase? Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The

Title: The Effect of Varying Amounts of Substrate and Enzyme on a Reaction Rate Abstract In living organisms‚ certain reactions must take place rapidly to assist life. This occurs because of enzymes‚ because all reactions would take place too slowly to sustain life (Jacklet‚ 237). Enzymes are large protein molecules that catalyze specific chemical reactions without being used up in the process. Each enzyme has a region on its surface‚ called the active site‚ which recognizes a specific

The purpose of the experiment was to find out how temperature affects the enzymes activity. For example‚ in Humans if the temperature is too high‚ the individual’s brain enzymes can denature and cause life threatening problems. The opposite can occur as well‚ if the temperature is too low‚ hypothermia can occur and it can be dangerous (Wilson‚ 1996). In the experiment optimal conditions for fungal and bacterial amylase was measured as well. Discovering information‚ such as the optimal temperature

Effecting the Reaction Rate in Enzymes in Plants and Animals Problem- How do variables temperature and surface area affect the rate of reaction occurring in the enzyme? Information- Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. They speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells. Enzymes can be found in both liver and potato. They provide a site where reactants can be brought together to react. These reactants are called substrates that fin into the enzyme. The changing of heat‚

relationship between substrate concentration and initial reaction rate provided that substrate concentration is much greater than enzyme concentration. Enzymes are essential to life as they are required for many vital metabolic reactions to occur. To adequately explain the properties of enzymes‚ it is assumed that an enzyme-controlled reaction takes place through an enzyme-substrate complex by the lock and key mechanism. It is hypothesized that a greater concentration of product is achieved through

Biofuel Enzyme Kit Katie Adamson Biochemistry Laboratory‚ BIO124L 1/29/15 Abstract The objective in this lab was to determine the effects different conditions had on the enzyme cellobiase. We examined reaction rates in the presence or absence of an enzyme‚ the effects temperature and pH changes on the enzyme and the effects enzyme concentration and substrate concentration had on the enzyme. As expected results showed us that cellobiase works optimally when conditions are favorable. We see this
