So we won’t confuse ourselves‚ we used the wax pencil to label each test tube as we placed the required amount of substance in each of them. To avoid any slight errors‚ we also used three different pipets for the three required materials‚ which are the distilled water‚ catechol and the extract

The Effects that 1%‚ 4%‚ and 16% Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Concentration Had on the Rate of Reaction of Catecholase Enzymes in a Potato (Solanum tuberosum). Abstract Enzymes are a key component of a cell. They make chemical reactions happen faster because they lower the activation energy to make the chemical reaction occur. Most of the time‚ it is best if enzymes produce as efficiently as possible‚ but in some cases it is better if they do not‚ when dealing with potatoes (Solanum tuberosum).

Epinephrine Structural Diagram- page 72 [pic] About: - Epinephrine has several uses‚ including increasing ventilation of lungs through relief of bronchodilation‚ increasing cardiac output‚ increasing systolic blood pressure‚ dilating blood vessels involved in crisis response - Clinically‚ epinephrine plays a lifesaving role in countering the effects of anaphylactic shock. It relaxes smooth muscle‚ though at different receptors. Physical Properties: - high boiling points and melting

concentration of the enzyme. Enzymes are sensitive to changes in pH and temperature. These factors affect the speed of the reactions‚ as does enzyme concentration. The enzyme catecholase and the compound catechol are found in the cells of many fruits and vegetables. The enzyme catecholase and substrate catechol separate from each other in intact cells. However‚ whenever the cell is damaged‚ they come in contact with one another which produces the formation of benzoquinone‚ which is a brown substance. Benzoquinone

Question 1 1. How is the neurotransmitter acetylcholine inactivated at the parasympathetic terminal receptor site? Answer A. The the enzyme catechol O-methtransferase (COMT) B. By the reuptake process C. By the enzyme cholinesterase D. By the enzyme monoamine oxidase E. By the enzyme nicotinase 1 points Question 2 1.

dopa decarboxylase. Breakdown: Dopamine can be broken down by either reuptake or metabolism. With metabolism dopamine breaks down to 3‚4 DOPAC by monoamine oxidase or dopamine is broken down to 3-MT by catechol 0-methyltransferase. The3‚4 DOPAC than breaks down to homovanillic acid by catechol-o-methyltransferase and 3-MT breaks down to homovanillic acid by monoamine oxidase‚ aldehyde dehydrogenase.

These test tubes were labeled 1‚ 2‚ and 3. These tubes all had 3.5 mL water‚ 2 mL catechol‚ 0.5 mL extract. Each of these tubes were put into water of three different temperatures for 5 minutes and then were taken to the Spec 20 to check their absorbency. We had a blank tube‚ which measured 1 mL of potato extract and 5 mL of distilled
