Abstract This lab was performed in order to discover the activity of the enzyme catecholase in different pH levels as well as its absorbance in differently concentrated solutions. A spetrophotometer was used to measure the absorbance of the enzyme catecholase in different pH solutions as well as to measure the absorbance of catecholase in solutions with different concentrations of potato juice and phosphate buffers. Absorbance of the enzyme catecholase was at an optimum level when pH was close

LAB 10: NAME: DaeNia La Rodé DATE: 25TH January‚ 2011. FORM CLASS: L6 3 SUBJECT: Biology TITLE: Enzymes AIM: To investigate the effect of substrate concentration on the enzyme amylase INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are perhaps one of the most important proteins of the human body. Enzymes such as amylase‚ an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates‚ work by means of surface catalysis. In other words‚ the surface of the enzyme enables other molecules to react in a manner they would not be able to without

Effects of Molasses Concentration on Yeast Fermentation The purpose of this lab was to determine how yeast cells are affected by the concentration of a food source‚ and for our purposes‚ the food sources were corn syrup and molasses. Our hypothesis was that the yeast cells would ferment the most when there was a higher concentration of molasses/corn syrup. In order to test this‚ we created 10 test tubes with decreasing concentrations of molasses/corn syrup using a serial dilution. Each test

Lipids 1. What is your macromolecule made of? List element names and/or other molecules. a. Lipids are mostly composed of carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen. Other elements‚ such as nitrogen and phosphorus can be found also. Molecules found in lipids include fats‚ waxes‚ sterols‚ and fat-soluble vitamins. 2. Include 2 examples of your macromolecule and their purpose in your body. a. An example of a lipid is steroids. Steroids are taken to increase the hormone testosterone‚ which helps

The effect of enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration‚ pH‚ and temperature on the enzyme catalase. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts; proteins and RNA. They are required for most biological reactions and they are highly specific. Each enzyme has an active site. The active site is the spot on the enzyme where a substrate fits in. Substrates binds with enzymes through the active site. Enzymes‚ being highly specific‚ only fit with one certain substrate. Enzymes and substrates

Lab #6: pH Effects and Enzyme Concentration on Catecholase Activity Abstract: This experiment examined the effect on how the changes in pH balance of potato juice affected the enzyme activity‚ structural stability and solubility. Introduction: Enzymes are macromolecules that allow chemical reactions to occur. They function as biological catalysts. A catalyst is a substance that is involved in‚ but not changed by or consumed in‚ a chemical reaction. The amount of energy required for a reaction

Title : THE EFFECT OF PH ON THE ACTIVITY OF CATALASE Aim : To study the effect of pH on the activity of catalase. Introduction : Catalase‚ an enzyme found in many different tissues‚ catalyses the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. 2 H202 → 2H20 + O2 Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic substance that can be formed during aerobic respiration and catalase removes this product. The activity of catalase can be measured by finding the rate of oxygen release from hydrogen peroxide

Concentration The Problem In many colleges over 8% of the students report problems concentrating on their studies. Most of these students blame outside distractions for their problems. Many research studies manipulating noise levels and distractions have found that such disturbances may increase‚ decrease‚ or not even affect concentration. These researchers have therefore concluded that distracters don’t cause concentration problems directly. It is the way the distracters are interpreted

Curing Salt / Prague Powder‚ Composition and Safety Issues Posted on August 24‚ 2010 by marvin A sausage is not a sausage without the curing salt. The same is true with tocino‚ it may look like it but taste will be different. Prague powder or curing salt is responsible for giving the processed meat product it characteristic flavor and color. Try to make tocino without prague powder. Drop me a comment‚ if you prove me wrong. It also function as preservative. A substance that kills spoilage bacteria
