Biology Enzymes IA Design Introduction: Enzymes are globular proteins‚ they are responsible for most of the chemical activities of a living organism. They act as catalysts‚ substances that affects the reaction of other substances without being destroyed or altered during the process. They are extremely efficient in the body system of living organisms‚ one enzyme may catalyse over a thousand chemical reactions every second. But there are certain conditions that need to be fulfilled in order for the

BABY CHIPS SUPPLY CHAIN CASE1 The BABY CHIPS Company sells Potato Chips. They can buy their raw materials (Potatoes) from farm cooperatives (Suppliers) in Idaho and Maine. The suppliers’ data table that is provided at the end of this case summarizes the suppliers’ respective cost per ton of potato purchased. The same table also contains the minimum and maximum quantities that must be purchased‚ if a specific supplier is selected. BABY CHIPS has two Plants located in Wichita (WIC)‚ and Cincinnati

purpose of this experiment was to test the tonicity of potato cells. The potato cells were placed in different test tubes with water and were left there for 15 minutes. The percent change in mass is then used to determine if the cells lost or gained water‚ therefore determining the tonicity of the cell. Although it was a brief short time‚ the final results showed that the more water the potatoes were placed in‚ the more hypotonic the potato becomes. Tonicity is stated to be the state of a solution

At the same moment peeling and chopping potatoes he realizes that even though he was born and grew up in Peru‚ the place where a potato-papas originated‚ he doesn’t know much about the history of this magnificent vegetable which grows underground without seeing a light and yet it tastes so good‚ and had been adopted by different cultures throughout the world and remains one of the

Aim: To find the effect of temperature on enzymes‚ using a potato as a catalyst. The source of catalase is in the potato cells. 2H2O2 → O2 + H2O Planning: Introduction: An Enzyme is any one of many specialised organic substances‚ composed of polymers of amino acids‚ that act as catalysts to regulate the speed of the many chemical reactions involved in the metabolism of living organisms Enzymes are classified into several broad categories‚ such as hydrolytic‚ oxidising‚ and reducing‚ depending

reaction. Therefore‚ it will be presumed that the result of this experiment by isolating the polyphenol oxidase within the potato extract through the oxidation of 5mM dopa solution with highly concentrated enzymatic preparation of polyphenol oxidase with a buffer as the diluent will indicate a rapid increase in the rate of the reaction as well as the amount of activity present in the potato extract. Proposing that Vmax is proportional to enzyme concentration‚ a linear relationship should be present and enzymatic

The Potato was also used when feeding cattle and horses. The most popular variation of the potato that was used was ‘The Lumper’‚ due to its ability to flourish in poor soil and produce a generous crop. This generous crop was extremely important‚ as due to the distribution and splitting of land‚ tenants

Drowning‚ also defined as a respiratory impairment caused by being in or under a liquid‚ restrains one’s intake of oxygen. The lack of oxygen prevented from being distributed throughout the body causes it to slowly shut down then the victim will eventually go unconscious and sometimes die. Although drowning restricts one’s breathing‚ drowning in freshwater‚ and drowning in salt water will react in the body in two completely different ways (Helmenstine‚ “Drowning in Freshwater). The simple difference

Introduction: This experiment will investigate the factors that affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse‚ an enzyme found in food such as potato and liver. Catalyse is used to remove hydrogen peroxide from cells. The enzyme speeds up the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The reaction is: Catalyse is able to speed up the process because the enzyme lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This means that the free energy required for the reaction
