ENZYMES LABORATORY REPORT Introduction The utilization of any complex molecule for energy by an organism is dependent on a process called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis breaks complex molecules into simpler molecules using water. Similarly‚ the process that is the reverse of this is called dehydration synthesis‚ which removes water from simpler molecules. However‚ because hydrolysis occurs very slowly‚ living organisms use biochemical’s called enzymes to speed up the reaction. In this lab exercise

Label five test tubes 1-5. Place 4 mL of 1 % starch in each of the first four test tubes. Place 4 mL of amylase solution in the fifth tube. Place all of the tubes in the 37°C water bath for 5 minutes. Obtain 5 clean droppers and label them 1-5. (To avoid contamination of these solutions

Environmental Parameters of Enzyme Activity Alex Rocha Texas State University Abstract If you’ve ever left a cut up apple out for long‚ you’ll notice that after a while‚ it will turn brown. The reason for this is an enzyme named catechol oxidase‚ a ubiquitous plant enzymes containing a dinuclear copper center (Klabunde‚ Eicken‚ Sacchettini‚ & Krebs‚ 1998). In this experiment‚ we used two different chelators‚ ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and phenylthiourea to test which would stop

Catalase Enzyme Lab Samiya Hussein March 9‚ 2012 Introduction In order to receive the necessary amounts of energy required for daily function‚ the digestive system must break down proteins‚ fats and carbohydrates. In doing so‚ the body produces poisonous chemicals; however‚ the cells aren’t harmed. This is because enzymes are used to break down these chemicals. The name of the enzyme that was the main focus of the lab is catalase. Catalase is responsible for catalyzing hydrogen peroxide

Name : Andi Nadya Amanda Period : 4 Grade : 11 Enzyme Lab Report Question How heats effect the length of reaction time of an enzyme? Hypothesis I think the heat will make the length of reaction time of an enzyme become slowly. Heat is one of a way to denature the substrate. It means the heat will break down the structure of substrate in order the reaction of enzymes that we activated into it become slowly. Method for Collecting Data First I will record the length of reaction time

Enzymes An enzyme is a protein used to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction. Because they regulate the rate of chemical reactions‚ they are also called catalysts. There are many‚ many different types of enzymes‚ because for each chemical reaction that occurs‚ an enzyme specific to that reaction must be made. To act on a substrate‚ an enzyme must contain an active site. The active site is the area on the enzyme that allows the substrate and enzyme to fit together. The amino acids that are present

Temperature and pH on Enzyme Function Chelsie Mesa Section 0479 Robin Cotter Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to identify three unknown enzymes. This is done by using different temperature and pH to affect the function of the enzyme‚ which ultimately‚ will affect how much maltose is produced. Enzymes are proteins that help catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions‚ the molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates‚ and the enzyme converts them

structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell and is named according to the substrate they specifically affect. An enzyme works best under optimal conditions pertaining to temperature‚ pH level and salt concentration1. In unfavorable conditions enzymes will become denatured and ineffective
