The Effect of pH on Enzymatic Reaction Rate Abstract Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value— the point where the enzyme is most active—is known as the optimum pH. This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of pH reaction rate on an enzyme‚ catalase‚ from yeast. The experimental results indicate that the catalase worked best at a neutral pH level of seven (7). Introduction An enzyme is a protein molecule that serves as a catalyst. “The basic function of

SCIENTIFIC REPORT ON THE EFFECT OF WAVELENGTH ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS Red wavelengths will increase the rate of photosynthesis to a greater degree than blue or green wavelengths and thus will be the most optimal for plant growth. This hypothesis will be tested under laboratory conditions using silver beet extracts and DCPIP under different wavelengths and assessing the photosynthetic qualities using a spectrometer at 605nm. Photosynthesis is the process by which the suns visible light (electromagnetic

HYPOTHESIS Using train conductors as representatives for all of human kind we can postulate with some accuracy the percent of the population of Earth that are complete and total assholes. If you have ever lived in a small town with train tracks running through it you will know that the conductor of the train is required to sound the whistle at every crossing. This is a 4-part whistle; 2 long‚ 1 short‚ 1 long. My hypothesis is that we can calculate what percentage of the population of planet Earth

chemical bonds of ATP and carbohydrates‚ a process called photosynthesis (Knox et al.‚ 2005). However‚ this report is only concerned with photosynthetic pigments and what wavelength of light they absorb‚ rather than the process of photosynthesis itself. Chlorophyll is a green‚ light absorbing pigment found in plants which allow them to utilise the energy in light to survive. This is because chlorophyll is the main pigment associated with photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a is the main type of light absorbing

reaction rates and concentration (research paper) By katie prestage what are reaction rates? The rate of reaction is the speed in which a reaction takes place. This can be measured by the rate in which a reactant is used up‚ or the rate a product is created. If a reaction has a low rate‚ it means that the particles are combining at a slow speed. If the rate is high‚ it means that the particles are coming together at a fast speed. For example‚ the rusting of iron through oxidation has a slow

EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION ON REACTION RATE The aim of this experiment is to find the effect of varying the concentration of iodide ions on the rate of reaction between hydrogen peroxide and an acidified solution of potassium iodide: H2O2(aq) + 2H+(aq) + 2I⁻ → 2H2O(l) + I2(aq) The course of this reaction can be followed by carrying it out in the presence of small quantities of starch and sodium thiosulfate solutions. As the iodine molecules are produced they immediately react with the thiosulfate

THE EFFECT OF HYDROGEN BONDING ON RESISTING FLOW Design Investigating a factor affecting the viscosity of a mixture of liquid Research Question The effect of hydrogen bonding on resisting flow of five different liquids Background Theory Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow‚ either within itself‚ or to moving past an objects moving through it. A liquid with high viscosity is thick and flows slowly. A liquid with a low viscosity is thin and flows quickly. Different liquids
