LABORATORY 3 The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of PNPP Hydrolysis Partners: Shelby Cruickshanks Alexis Williamson Introduction Most of the chemical reactions‚ which occur throughout our bodies‚ would proceed at a much slower rate of reaction without the presence of an enzyme. Cells can not wait for centuries for molecules to break down‚ if they waited for that‚ there would be no way for the organism to obtain energy or in turn survive. This is where biological catalyst comes into

"To See What Factors Affect The Decomposition Of Hydrogen Peroxide By The Enzyme Catalase Which Is Found In The Liver" Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up the chemical reactions which go on inside living things. Without them the reactions would be so slow that life would grind to a halt. Enzymes work by when a substrate molecule bumps into a molecule of the right enzyme‚ it fits into a depression on the surface of the enzyme molecule. This depression is called the

Why are there so many different varieties of cheese when the production process is basically the same for all cheeses? Cheese comes in a wide variety of flavors‚ textures and styles‚ but the process for making all cheeses remains basically the same. All types of cheeses requires almost the same processes‚ but there are many different factors that influence how the finished product tastes‚ textures and smells. The climate of the area where the cheese making may influences the type of cheese

PLANNING COURSEWORK- STARCH AND AMYLASE AIM The aim of this coursework is to investigate the effect of temperature change‚ on the rate of hydrolysis of starch catalysed by amylase. PREDICTION I think that as the temperature increases‚ the rate of reaction also increases‚ to a point when it dramatically decreases. On graph 1‚ you will see a sketch of the graph which I expect to be the result of the experiment. SCIENCE REASONING I think my prediction is correct because the rate of

Investigating the Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Almost all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Many factors in a cell’s environment affect the action of an enzyme. In this investigation‚ you will design an experiment to determine the effect of temperature on an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. You will complete an entire lab write-up using the CHS LAB REPORT FORMAT. Fundamental Question How does temperature affect the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed

Lab Report: Toothpickase and Enzymes September 19‚ 2012 Olivia DePhillips Lab Partner: Joy Morgan Meyers Signature: Introduction Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions‚ the molecules at the beginning of the process‚ called substrates‚ are converted into different molecules‚ called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Like all catalysts‚ enzymes work

EXPERIMENT Materials 200 Toothpicks Timer Tape Controls 50 toothpicks per trial. 120 seconds per trial. The same brand of toothpicks. One toothpick broken at a time (except for Mutation Trial 2). One toothpick broken into two pieces equals one reaction. Broken toothpicks cannot react again. (Toothpicks can only be broken once) The toothpicks are broken between the thumb‚ index‚ and middle finger (toothpickase). Break two toothpicks at a time (Trail 3). Tape the index finger and thumb. (Trail

background information Enzymes are amino acids and proteins that speed up chemical reactions. they either build things or take things apart as needed . they are small (since they can work in a small thing such as a cell) and their shape is the shape needed for substrates to fit in . enzymes are molecules that are organic in nature and catalyze specific chemical reactions. they are mainly built from hydrogen‚ carbon‚ and oxygen. they are proteins and also include other macromolecules
