THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CATALASE RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the effect of various temperatures‚ 0°C‚ room temperature‚ 37°C‚ 50°C‚ 60°C‚ on the number of oxygen gas bubbles liberated‚ in a decomposition reaction between the enzyme Catalase‚ obtained from crushed mung beans‚ and 2% of the substrate Hydrogen Peroxide? INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions without they themselves being involved in the reaction itself. Enzymes are proteins

<i>1. State the five assumptions of the Kinetic-Molecular Theory of gases.</i><br><br>a) Gases consist of large numbers of tiny particles. These particles‚ usually molecules or atoms‚ typically occupy a volume about 1000 times larger than occupied by the same number of particles in the liquid or solid state. Thus molecules of gases are much further apart than those of liquids or solids.<br><br>Most of the volume occupied by a gas is empty space. This accounts for the lower density of gases compared

9:50am 2-26-2014 Dr Laynes Hypothesis: As the temperature of the enzyme catalase rises the activity of the reaction will decrease. Objectives: The objective is to compare catalase activity at different temperatures. Introduction Catalase speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. Catalase is present in every plant and animal organ. This is useful because hydrogen peroxide is harmful to cells. Temperature effects the enzyme effectiveness. Increase in temperature causes

Abstract: Enzymes‚ molecules that speed up chemical reactions‚ are specific to one substrate. In this experiment the substrate hydrogen peroxide and the enzyme catalase will be used. The higher the concentration of potato extract‚ or catalase‚ the faster the reaction and the more substrate present will result in a decrease in the time of the reaction. The amount of concentrations of enzymes and substrates are changed to determine if the reaction is further catalyzed by a greater concentration of

This lab will be driven by the research question; do changes in temperature (from 0˚C‚ 7˚C‚ 21˚C‚ 37˚C‚ and 90˚C) have an effect on the activity of the enzyme catalase (found in beef liver) in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide? Hypothesis If liver is placed in different temperatures of 0˚C‚ 7˚C‚ 21˚C‚ 37˚C‚ and 90˚C and hydrogen peroxide is added to each piece of liver‚ then the liver placed in 37˚C will have the largest reaction height. The liver in 90˚C will have the smallest reaction height

Catalase Lab Introduction: Catalase is an enzyme normally found in many plant and animal tissues. Its purpose is to destroy toxic substances which may be introduced into cells. Also‚ some cells use catalase to destroy cellular debris or worn out organelles. In this lab‚ we will use a catalase solution from potatoes and determine the effect of temperature and pH on the action of this enzyme. The substrate of the enzyme will be 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Catalase works by the following mechanism:

trend O2 production and reaction velocity increased with increasing catalase concentration‚ however‚ the 33% percent catalase concentration showed a drop of 0.175 mL O2/s compared to the 25% catalase concentration (figure 1.2). The velocity of 25% catalase was 0.275 mL/s‚ 33% was 0.1 mL/s‚ 50% was 0.435 mL/s‚ and 75% catalase was 0.575 mL/s (figure 1.1). The 50% catalase concentration produced the most O2 overall however the 75% catalase concentration had the fastest initial reaction velocity. Experiment
