LAB 9: DATE: 25TH January‚ 2011. FORM CLASS: L6 3 SUBJECT: Biology TITLE: Enzymes AIM: To investigate the effect of temperature on the enzyme lipase INTRODUCTION: The phenomenon of catalysis makes possible biochemical reactions necessary for all life processes. Catalysis is defined as the acceleration of a chemical reaction by some substance which itself undergoes no permanent chemical change. The catalysts of biochemical reactions are enzymes and are responsible for bringing about almost

Experiment 4 – Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim To study the effects of temperature on the activity of amylase enzyme on starch solution. Introduction Enzymes are widely known as biological catalyst. Almost all cellular reactions are controlled and guarded by enzymes. Virtually every metabolic reaction which takes place within a living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Enzymes are complex three-dimensional globular proteins. Some of the enzymes are built up off proteins and

carry out appropriate tests for the formation of products as a result of this decomposition. DISSCUSION: Carbonates are decomposed by heat into the corresponding oxides and carbon dioxide. The temperature of decomposition depends upon the activity of the metal; that is to say‚ the more active the metal‚ the more stable is the carbonate. Thus‚ the carbonates of sodium and potassium are stable at the highest temperature of a Bunsen burner flame‚ whereas the carbonates of silver and copper are easily

Hydrogen has a high specific energy‚ high flame speed‚ wide range of flammability‚ and clean burning characteristics which suggest a possibility of high performance in internal combustion engines (ICE). These attributes have been realized for more than half a century since the onset of hydrogen engine development. In the early 1990s‚ FSEC conducted research on using hydrogen in an ICE. This work resulted in the development of a mixed fuel called HYTEST. Today‚ automobile manufacturers and DOE continue

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

Temperature effects on the growth of microorganisms Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects that temperature has on three different organisms. Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting growth and survival of microorganisms². The three organisms used where Escherichia coli‚ Pseudomonas fluorescens‚ and Bacillus stearothermophilis. Most bacteria grow within a particular temperature range. The minimum growth temperature is

Investigating the effect of temperature on plant cell membranes The purpose of this activity is: • to practise experimental and investigative skills • to investigate the effect of temperature on cell membrane structures Procedure SAFETY: Always carry scalpels clasped to a tile and with the tip pointing away from you. Beetroot cells contain pigments called betalains that give the tissue its dark purple-red colour. The pigment is contained in the cell vacuole. Investigation
