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

cellular respiration and fermentation. (Hyde‚2012). Fermentation is a way of harvesting chemical energy that does not require oxygen. (Reece et al. 2012). When the body is deprived of oxygen it will then begin to meet its energy needs through the slow process of fermentation. In our lab we investigated alcoholic fermentation by using yeast‚ which can flourish in an low energy environment in anaerobic conditions. In this lab our goal was to discover the rate at which yeast will ferment different

of reactions that converts glucose to pyruvate with the concomitant formation of ATP. Three fates of this pyruvate produced exist. In this practical the production of pyruvate and acetaldehyde by fermentation of glucose is established. A series of test tubes was set up each containing glucose and yeast suspension in buffers at different pH values. These test tubes were incubated for an hour at 37℃. Trichloro-acetic acid solution was then added to the first 2 of the 4 test tubes prior to centrifugation

Carbohydrate Lab Report Introduction Qualitative identification of a substance is of significant importance in chemistry. Physical constants such as melting points have traditionally been used by organic chemistry for identification of unknown compounds. As for inorganic substances‚ the precipitation of a solid‚ results of a flame test‚ or the formation of a colored substance could all be keys to identifying a sample. Chromatography and spectra are amongst the newer techniques

Others have opted for the United States Department of Agriculture ’s low fat diet‚ but neither understands the chemistry of the body or may have misinformation about these compounds. Not many Americans can tell you confidently what a fat‚ carbohydrate‚ or protein is chemically or how it works in the body. It

The main purpose of carbohydrate loading is to reestablish both the glycogen of the muscles and liver in order to keep hunger away during some types of competitive sports. These types of competitive sports include: marathons‚ long distance swimming‚ and cycling. Carbohydrate loading is done anywhere from a week out from a competition or event to only twenty four hours before. There are three main benefits to carb loading for athletes of sports like marathons‚ long distance swimming‚ cycling‚ and

We take a closer look at the effects of osmosis in this lab through the examination of red blood cells (sheep)‚ plant cells (elodea)‚ and active transport in yeast. Under the microscope‚ we can determine the effects on plant and animal cells exposed to hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic sodium chloride solutions. Plant cells have a cell wall; however‚ animal cells do not
