Effect of Temperature on Peroxidase Ability to Break Down H2O2 By: Rodneika Crutcher Abstract Temperature affects the ability of peroxidase to break down hydrogen peroxide. In this experiment our professor extracted peroxidase from potato tissue. In order to determine how temperature affects peroxidase we created solutions and measured their absorbance levels after water bath treatments. The more absorbent the solution was the less hydrogen peroxide there was in the solution. This means the peroxidase

Introduction. The following is an experiment into temperature change in an exothermic reaction taking place between Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and also how the concentration of the acid will vary these results. The characteristics of the reaction feature a neutralisation‚ an energy change (shown as a temperature change) that is usually exothermic (gives out heat). The reaction of neutralisation is exothermic because of the bonds being broken and made in the reaction. When

Homeostatic Control of Core Body Temperature Our bodies have processes that happen to keep everything at an even rate. If things get out of balance our bodies tries to bring them back into balance. Homeostasis refers to the processes of keeping internal body environment in a steady rate‚ when the external environment is changed. The aim of this essay is to discuss the internal environment‚ the importance of regulation of core temperature‚ negative feedback and positive feedback and contrast

is which type of temperature change will result from heating ice to liquid‚ then boil (steam)? What will happen to the water after the boil? I hypothesise the water heats ice to liquid and then goes to simmer and boil. The independent variable is the hot plate changed to a burner itself. The dependent variable is what we are measuring is the time. The steps in the lab were to first start off with a burner‚ ice and water in a beaker‚ then record time and water temperature. Also‚ some phase

This will results in the characteristics of the indoor environment falling outside the comfort zone and an increased use

The Question: Does temperature affect the elasticity of a rubber band? Our Hypothesis: We thought that in hot water that it will be the most elastic. Simply because hot water make things stretchy and moveable like balsa wood. Material: 1. Three Cups 2. Nine rubber bands (should be the same) 3. Cold Water 4. Hot Water 5. Room Temperature Water 6. Two pencils (you will see why later) 7. Four Ice Cubes 8. Water that is sitting in an indoor location 9. Stop Watch 10. Ruler Experimental 1. Take one cup

Abstract: This project looks at how the temperature of an experiment can affect its reaction time. The purpose of this experiment is to determine if dissolving reactions are affected by waters temperature. I believe that if the H2O temperature increases‚ then the Alka-Seltzer tablet will dissolve faster because the hot water molecules will move faster colliding with the tablet particles. Water will be the independent variable due to the fact is will always stay in its same form throughout the

of temperature on amylase activity Introduction Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylases are found in almost all plants‚ animals and microorganisms. Large amounts of amylase occur in germinating cereals‚ and in the pancreas and saliva of higher animals. Aim The aim of this experiment is to find out the rate of reaction between amylase and starch in a range of different reaction temperatures. Hypothesis As the reaction temperature of

An investigation into the effects of temperature on enzyme action An enzyme is a biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of reaction in certain biological functions. They play a vital role in many aspects of human physiology and are necessary for the functioning of a number of systems‚ for example in the digestive system to help to break down food. All enzymes have a unique active site that can fit on to a particular molecular arrangement on a target substrate; a substance e.g. carbohydrate
