Enzymes are biological catalysts and each individual enzyme can only catalyse to one type of reaction – due to its specific shape. Each individual enzyme has its own specific shape which is determined by the amino acid sequence that it is made up of – each enzyme’s active site matches to its unique substrate molecule. For the sake of our experiment – enzymes catalyse reactions because they become an active site for reactions to take place. This lowers the energy that is needed for the reaction but

Enzyme Activity Lab Hypothesis: 1] Are enzymes reusable? Yes‚ enzymes are reusable. 2] Which of the following do you think contain catalase? [Manganese dioxide‚ chicken meat‚ apple‚ carrot‚ potato‚ or chicken liver] I think that the manganese dioxide‚ apple‚ and carrot contain the catalase. 3] Would grinding the materials affect enzyme activity? I think that grinding the materials will increase enzyme activity. 4] Would temperature affect enzyme activity? I think that

Report: Enzyme Lab Your Name: Samantha Butcher Purpose of this Lab What is the goal of this lab? What question is it trying to answer‚ or what problem is it trying to explain? It is going to explain how a liver’s enzymes break down substances that could be harmful.| Hypothesis After reading the lab instructions - but before starting the lab - record your best “educated guess” about what will happen in the experiment. Give your reasons and outline any assumptions that lead you to this

Break Down of Society Civilization is the key to keeping society in order. If many individuals lose this civilized state‚ the society they are in begins to break down. Ralph‚ Simon‚ and Jack are the major problems with the breakdown of their society. Anything done in a community‚ whether it is multiple actions or nothing at all‚ can change it for better or for worse. Firstly‚ Simon is inactive in the social order of the boys and isolates himself from them. Secondly‚ Ralph has attained leadership

Mozart I was so lucky to have the opportunity to meet Mozart and learned a lot of how he started and his outstanding accomplishments. Mozart was the most accomplished European composer from this time period. He began composing his own music at the at age of 5 and he wrote his first opera at 12. He was very talented. Even though he lived short life‚ he still managed to succeed. He was considered one of the best composer of this time period. He composed for many different musical genres. In addition

amylase and starch. Introduction The enzyme amylase is found in the human body‚ it catalyses the hydrolosis of internal glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides‚ the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in human saliva‚ where it initiates the chemical process of digestion. Enzymes work best at an optimum pH of 7 which is the bodies normal pH. The pH affects the charge of the amino acid at the active site. PH changes affect the structure of an enzyme molecule and therefore affect its ability

Why Zoos Have A Negative Effect On Animals What effect do zoos really have on animals? Do zoos have a negative effect on the animals? When a animal is captured and brought to a zoo‚ does it negatively affect their behavior? With the first zoo being created in 1874 this has been an almost 150 year issue that has sparked controversy among many zoologists and common people as many say that the zoo is like a prison towards the animals as they are put into an enclosure for most of their lives. Although

Do animals have language? ’’Language is the method of human communication‚ either spoken or written‚ consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way’’(1) Language is humanity’s way of communicating with each other‚ there are over 6‚500 different languages spoken around the world. Every language is communicated by two or more people. Every person can have a combination of languages. It all depends on what that person chooses to do. Some individuals believe that there is

Animal and Plant cells consist of most of the same cell types‚ but the whole shape of the cell is quite different. An animal cell is a round‚ uneven shape‚ whereas the Plant cell has an affixed shape. They have a more of a rectangular shape. Chloroplast‚ Vacuole and the Cell wall are only found in Plant cells. The Chloroplast is the organelle for the whole system of Photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are found in mesophyll cells (which are found in the leaves) of green plants. They convert light into
