    Introduction Enzymes are proteins produced by living organisms to speed up the rate in which chemical reactions occur. This process can happen fast‚ slowly‚ or stop the chemical reaction all together depending on the temperature‚ pH and concentration. Catalase is one of the most common enzymes. It is found in living organisms and is used to break down hydrogen peroxide. This must happen because hydrogen peroxide is considered toxic to cells in the body. However‚ when catalase is used it breaks

    Lab report nº4 The aim of this experiment was to observe the change of enzyme reaction with different concentration of solution. For this experiment we used potato enzymes (catalase) and hydrogen peroxide in concentrations of 100%‚ 80%‚ 60%‚ 40%‚ and 20% According to P.George: “When catalase is added to hydrogen peroxide‚ there is an initial rapid evolution of oxygen which lasts for about two minutes‚ depending on the peroxide concentration. After this‚ oxygen is given off at a steady rate which

    How Environment Can Effect Enzymes Introduction: In a chemical reaction there sometimes can be a catalyst present known as an enzyme. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the amount of activation energy required to start the reaction. By lowering the activation energy‚ more of the substrate is able to participate in the reaction‚ speeding it up. Enzymes are substrate specific. The substrate is what the enzyme bonds to. That is to say that enzyme A will only react

    I. Title. Restriction Enzyme Mapping of pBR322 Using Agarose Gel Electrophoresis. II. Authors. Author: Partner: Section: Thursday‚ 1:10 pm Date of Experiment: October 25‚ 2012 III. Introduction. Restriction enzymes (or restriction endonucleases)‚ originally isolated from Haemophilus influenzae in 1970‚ are enzymes within a cell that cleave foreign DNA within a specific and predictable nucleotide sequence (known as a restriction site) regardless of the source of such DNA. Such restriction

    Introduction How does changing the surroundings of enzymes affect their reaction rate? The purpose of the experiment is to determine how different abiotic conditions affect the rate at which enzymes accelerate/cause reactions In this lab students measured the height of the foam after catalysis between catalase (enzyme) and 7 other (solutions) to determine which solution had the fastest reaction rate.. The control variable of the experiment would be the solution of only hydrogen peroxide‚ water

    The Effects on Enzymes By Bailey Rose The Effects on Enzymes Bailey Rose 10/31/2011 Abstract In this lab exercise‚ the study of enzyme catalase‚ we viewed the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions.  Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme Concentration were the conditions tested in the experiment.  Our class performed

    Enzymes are biological molecules (proteins) that act as a catalyst and help complex reactions occur everywhere in life‚ for example a piece of steak that is being digested into energy. Molecules found at the beginning of the process are called substrates‚ and these enzymes exchange them into differing molecules known as products. Nearly all-metabolic processes in a cell need enzymes in order to function at rates that are fast enough to sustain existence. Those who are lactose intolerant are simply

    In this lab we used a solution of lactase to test the chemical and physiological properties of this particular enzyme and determined whether the lactase came from human cells or bacterial cells. In the statistical analysis statistical formulas and techniques are used to analyze the significance of a set of data and the validity of the conclusions made based on that data. These are some terms and definitions that will be crucial to understanding the validity of this experiment. An enzyme is a protein

    Enzymes Abstract: The following 2 labs experimented the more enzymes and substrates added to the concentration will effect the reaction rate. Our second lab‚ we tested enzyme and substrate concentrations to determine the increase of temperature and inhibitor. The enzyme source used in both labs was peroxide‚ guaiacol is used as a substrate for peroxide. We used Guaiacol‚ turnip extract‚ peroxide and distilled water for enzyme and substrate concentration. In the second lab we used the same substances
