the optimum pH for catalase in potatoes. This is because the height of the bubbles was the highest of all three tests (pH 3‚ pH 7‚ pH 9) reaching an average height of 0.433 cm. See graph 3. While pH buffer 3’s average height was 0.233 cm only reaching a maximum height of 0.3 cm in Trial 3 and pH buffer 9’s average height being 0.333 cm only reaching a maximum height of 0.4 cm again in Trial 3. See table 1. Therefore this supports my hypothesis: At pH buffer 7 the enzyme (catalase) will work most efficiently

13 Journal 14 1 Design 1.1 Defining the problem Research Question This lab will be driven by the research question; do changes in temperature (from 0˚C‚ 7˚C‚ 21˚C‚ 37˚C‚ and 90˚C) have an effect on the activity of the enzyme catalase (found in beef liver) in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide? Hypothesis If liver is placed in different temperatures of 0˚C‚ 7˚C‚ 21˚C‚ 37˚C‚ and 90˚C and hydrogen peroxide is added to each piece of liver‚ then the liver placed in 37˚C will have the largest

Investigating the Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Almost all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Many factors in a cell’s environment affect the action of an enzyme. In this investigation‚ you will design an experiment to determine the effect of temperature on an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. You will complete an entire lab write-up using the CHS LAB REPORT FORMAT. Fundamental Question How does temperature affect the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed

can be decomposed by catalase [11]‚ the liver is able to decompose hydrogen peroxide enzymatically because it contains catalase [12]. The reaction rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction under the effect of changes in temperature was tested in this experiment. It was hypothesised that the fastest reaction rate would occur a 37 degrees Celsius. Liver and hydrogen peroxide were placed into 4 different test tubes‚ all set in different temperatures: 0 degrees Celsius; room temperature (28 – 30 degrees Celsius);

Part B: Practical Report The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim: To investigate how temperature effects the enzyme catalase. Hypothesis: If the temperature of water is increased then the enzyme will react quicker to form oxygen and water‚ when compared to cold water. Purpose: To design and conduct a plan of a practical about the effects of temperature on enzymatic activity with a partner. Introduction: An enzyme is a protein‚ which speeds up a specific chemical reaction without altering

Effect of Temperature on Enzymes ~Abstract~ In this experiment the effect of different types of temperatures on enzyme activity was examined. The temperature baths that were used to test the difference in enzyme activity on fresh liver were; 4 °C‚ room temperature which was 22°C‚ body temperature which is 37°C‚ and 77°C. The total time of each trial was 2 and a half minute‚ 1 minute for the H2O2 to acclimatize to the temperature‚ 1 and a half minutes for the reaction to occur. Catalase causes Hydrogen

meter (N/m2)‚ or pascals (Pa). 3. Slowly drag the temperature (T) slider back and forth. (Note: In this Gizmo‚ the Kelvin scale is used to measure temperature. On the Kelvin scale‚ 0 degrees is absolute zero‚ the coldest possible temperature. Absolute zero is equal to -273.15 °C or -459.67 °F) A. How does the change in temperature affect the speed of the molecules? __If the temperature is colder the molecules move slower and if the temperature is hotter the molecules move faster.

Aim: To investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide concentration on enzyme catalase Indroduction: Enzymes are proteins. They function as biological catalysts. They lower the energy barrier of a reaction so that the reaction can take place at body temperature. Also‚ they can speed up Metabolic reactions without being changed or used up. During a reaction‚ an enzyme molecule combines temporarily with the substrate. When the reaction is complete‚ the enzyme molecules returns to its original dorm
