1. Prepare a lactase enzyme solution by dissolving one lactase enzyme tablet in 200 ml of water in a clean 250 ml beaker. Stir until the tablet has dissolved. Use labeling tape to label the beaker: “Lactase Enzyme Solution.” 2. Prepare a “denatured” enzyme solution by pouring 20 ml of your enzyme solution into a heat resistant tube. The test tube must have the words “Kimax” or “Pyrex” on it. If it does not‚ it is not heat resistant and may break! Use labeling tape to label the test tube: “Denatured

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

Project Enzymes are organic catalysts produced by living organisms which aid in the progression of specific biochemical reactions without undergoing any permanent chemical changes themselves. They are complex‚ conjugated proteins necessary and required to sustain life. Today‚ enzymes are also used world-wide in a variety of different industrial applications such as the production of paper‚ wine fermentation‚ and bio-remediation. One of the most important industrial applications enzymes are used

Laboratory 2: Scientific Methodology & Enzyme Activity Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to simply measure oxygen production rates released from decomposed hydrogen peroxide under different conditions (concentration of enzymes‚ temperature‚ and PH level). Hypothesis: Part a: If different amounts of enzyme solution are added to the hydrogen peroxide‚ then the highest amount of enzymes will have the greatest reaction rate because enzymes catalyze reactions‚ meaning more

Then go into even more detail about the specific abiotic variable you tested with statistics. What have other researchers previously found out about these factors that you selected? (cite scientific primary literature here!) (4 pts) Of the various factors that have the ability to affect transpiration rates we

The Effect of Alcohol and Caffeine on the Water Flea: Daphnia Magna Kristoffer Osuntuyi Daphnia Magna Abstract: In this experiment I will find the base heart rate of each water flea. The base heart rate is the control in my experiment. The variables in the experiment are alcohol and caffeine. After finding the control of the first flea I will surround it with alcohol. The second flea will go through the same process as the first flea did‚ except the variable will be caffeine. The purpose of

FUNCTIONS OF ENZYMES Enzymes are extremely important to the human body and its ability to function. An enzyme itself is a protein made by the body’s cells to act as catalyst‚ speeding up chemical reactions in the cell. It does this by taking the reactants‚ or the elements or compounds that enter into the chemical reaction‚ in this situation referred to as substrates‚ and breaking apart their bonds so that new ones can form. The three types of enzymes are digestive enzymes‚ food enzymes‚ and metabolic

What is Enzyme? Enzymes are protein that acts as speed up reactions and break down molecules in our body. However‚ different enzymes only work on certain types of molecules. Enzymes can accelerate the reactions by more than one million times.(3) In our human body‚ there are a total about forty thousand types of enzymes and each catalyzes different kind of molecule.(3) The molecules that enzymes help to accelerate is called substrates‚ and when enzyme is combined together with the substrate‚ it
