Effects of pH on fungal amylase activity BI 211 November 25‚ 2011 Introduction In recent years‚ the uses of microorganisms have become a huge importance to industry and sparked a large interest into the exploration of enzyme activity in microorganisms. Amylase is one of the most widely used enzyme required for the preparation of fermented foods. Apart from food and starch industries‚ in which demand for them is increasing continuously‚ amylase is also used in various

What effect does temperature have on the oxygen production of enzymes in an animal’s liver? A temperature which is too high would be able to produce little to no oxygen because of the extreme temperature. Just like a temperature too high‚ a temperature which is too low would also produce little to no oxygen for the same reason. Animals that have livers are considered warm-blooded‚ with very warm temperatures; therefore it would make sense for a warm temperature to produce the most oxygen; but one

pH Affecting on Amylase Enzyme Is there a difference in the concentration of pH in the amylase enzyme activity? The null hypothesis would be that there will be no difference in the concentration of pH and alternative hypothesis would be that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The predication if that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The pH affects on enzyme activities‚ one of the enzyme that was used in the process was amylase. When a serial dilution was

Abstract: This experimentation was to evaluate absorbance and the reaction rate of an enzyme‚ ’-amylase in starch-iodine solution. We will be testing the relationship between enzymatic reaction affected by temperature and pH. Through the testing the enzyme at different temperatures‚ and different pH levels; it would determine at which temperature and pH level the enzyme worked the most efficiently. Analyzing absorbance of the solutions with spectrophotometery will determine the reaction rate. To

What amount of amylase is the best to produce a better reaction with starch? A 1% solution of amylase‚ made from 0.15g of amylase added to 15ml of water‚ a 2% solution of amylase made of 0.3g of amylase added to 15ml of water‚ and a 0.5% solution of amylase made of 0.75g of amylase to 15ml of water were created. A 0.25% starch solution was also created‚ and 3ml was added to each of the 4 test tubes. 1 drop of iodine was added to each test tube. 4ml of the 1% solution was added to the first test

Experiment 4 – Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim To study the effects of temperature on the activity of amylase enzyme on starch solution. Introduction Enzymes are widely known as biological catalyst. Almost all cellular reactions are controlled and guarded by enzymes. Virtually every metabolic reaction which takes place within a living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Enzymes are complex three-dimensional globular proteins. Some of the enzymes are built up off proteins and

huge amounts of energy‚ and their molecules are spread out as much as possible. With very little pressure‚ when compared to liquids and solids‚ those molecules can be compressed. It happens all of the time. Combinations of pressure and decreasing temperature force gases into tubes that we use every day. You might see compressed air in a spray bottle or feel the carbon dioxide rush out of a can of soda. Those are both examples of gas forced into a smaller space than it would want‚ and the gas escapes

Temperature Rising Global Warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air‚ landmasses‚ and oceans its projected prolongation. Many believe that the Earth is currently facing warming in the ozone layer brought on by the rising levels of trapped gases known as the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution. Global warming is‚ in Laymen’s terms‚ altering the balance in energy of the earth (Reid 27). “The topic of climatic change has been in question

Investigation Into Temperature Sensors Introduction In this project I will be investigating how it is possible to use a temperature sensor to keep a greenhouse from changing temperature too much. This is intended to help plants live and grow in their optimum temperature. This will create a perfect temperature for the enzymes in the plants to work in‚ and therefore resulting in a maximum growth/production rate. This could be useful for gardeners who wish to grow plants as quickly as possible
