every living organism‚ because without them the reactions within the cells would occur to slow to sustain life. However there are many factors which affect the rate of enzymes reactions. One of them is pH‚ which influence on the enzyme activity will be the subject of this investigation. Catalase of potato tuber cells will be the enzyme used in the experiment. RESEARCH QUESTIONWhat is the influence of different values of pH on the activity of catalase in potato tuber cells?VARIABLESIndependent: potato

The blue coloured solution remains unchanged as well. Discussion : In the experiment‚ the enzyme amylase was involved. Amylase breaking down the starch suspension into maltose and maltose into glucose when HCL was added into solution B .This is because solution B was hydrolyzed and the H+ ions present break down the bond in between molecules

fermentation of the following fruit or vegetable juices. 1. i. Apple juice 2. ii. Carrot juice 1 INTRODUCTION Fermentation is the slow decomposition of complex organic compound into simpler compounds by the action of enzymes. Enzymes are complex organic compounds‚ generally proteins. Examples of fermentation are: souring of milk or curd‚ bread making‚ wine making and brewing. The word Fermentation has been derived from Latin (Ferver which means to ‘boil’).As during fermentation
Premium Yeast Ethanol Enzyme
in the fermentation of alcohols‚ is a model species for the study of eukaryotic cells. They are known to reproduce either sexually‚ by mitosis‚ or asexually‚ by budding‚ depending on environmental conditions. Yeast grow and reproduce by producing enzymes to catabolise polysaccharides. Upon maturation the parent cell passes its genetic information to the bud which then becomes a genetic copy of the original cell and adds to the population. A growth curve demonstrates the four stages of population growth

Def: An enzyme is a protein formed by the body that acts as a catalyst to cause a certain desired reaction. Enzymes are very specific. Each enzyme is designed to initiate a specific response with a specific result. There are many enzymes in the human body. In cystic fibrosis‚ the term enzyme generally refers to the enzymes created by the pancreas that are intended to initate a reaction that digests food. Structure :The basic mechanism by which enzymes catalyze chemical reactions begins with
Premium Enzyme
like: "Salivary Amylase is a an enzyme that digests starch into di- and monosaccharides. Since it’s a salivary amylase‚ the enzyme works best at an alkaline pH of 7‚ in other words‚ the optimum pH is 7. At this pH‚ the rate of amylase activity will be at it’s highest. A pH that is much lower (very acidic) or much higher (very alkaline) will denature the enzyme permanently (specifically the active site)‚ and the enzyme can’t function anymore. The activity of the enzyme will decrease as we increase or

physically see the breakdown of carbohydrates into simpler sugars (glucose‚ fructose‚ galactose) using the salivary amylase enzyme. This is extremely important to all metabolic functions in the human digestive system. It is found that benedict’s solution‚ when heated makes a yellow-orange colour to indicate the simple sugars. Iodine is the indicator of a complex carbohydrate.Without enzymes that help these metabolic events absorption during digestion would be without

peroxidase enzyme and the factors that affected it‚ both positively and negatively. The purpose of these experiments was to probe and manipulate the activity of the enzyme peroxidase by varying temperature‚ pH‚ the amount of enzyme compared to the substrate and the effect of hydroxylamine. Peroxidase activity is expressed when the potato extract is subjected to stresses such as low temperature (El-hilali et al.‚ 2012). The most eye catching factors that we tested for their impact on enzyme activity
