Peroxidase Enzyme & Temperature Abstract: In this lab we tested the effect temperature has on the rate of enzyme activity. The way we figured this out was by taking four different temperatures and testing the different absorbance levels they produced every 20 seconds for two minutes straight using a spectrophotometer. The important part of this experiment was the temperature the enzyme concentration was made at. What we got from the experiment was at lower temperature we got very low numbers

insulated as calorimetry relies on the fact that temperature change only occurs within the solution and that no heat escapes to the surroundings. That is why it is important that calorimeters are well insulated. However‚ heat loss cannot be avoided so scientists‚ when conducting experiments‚ need to choose the calorimeter that allows least heat energy to escape‚ therefore‚ retaining as much heat within the solution Research Question: By measuring temperature change of the reaction between hydrochloric

A thermostat is a device that regulates the temperature inside a building. 1. What does a thermostat do if it gets too cool? __It would turn on the heater or turn off the A/C___________ 2. What does a thermostat do if it gets too hot? ____It would activate the Air Conditioning or turn of the Heat

mechanism was studied using I-button data loggers placed inside marshmallow peeps to record temperatures in two different microhabitats; one in a stream and the other on the bank adjacent to the stream. Five samples were placed in each microhabitat and temperature was recorded every minute for 20 minutes. It was hypothesized that turtles in moving waters‚ such as streams‚ would exhibit lower body temperatures than those residing on banks alongside streams due to convection of the moving water. The

When prompted‚ enter 0.0 *C as the actual temperature of the constant temperature bath (ice water). Press Enter. Insert the temperature probe in the ice water. Swirl the temperature probe until the temperature approaches and stabilizes near 0 *C (it may not read exactly 0 *C). Press Enter. 4. Remove the temperature probe from the

raising the temperature. Stir with a glass rod occasionally to make sure the heating is uniform. Measure 50mL of cold distilled water and place in the calorimeter setup. As the water is heating‚ also monitor the temperature of the cold water to find when it reaches equilibrium. Record the temperature of the cold water to the nearest 0.2°C. When the water being heated reaches 70°C-80°C‚ remove from the heat and let it sit on the lab bench‚ stirring occasionally. Record the temperature of the hot water

experiment was on the basis of the concentration of Potassium Hydroxide affecting the temperature of water that it is dissolved in. One person stirred in the different concentrations of Potassium Hydroxide while the other measured the temperature as it rose after the pellets dissolved. At times it was difficult to ensure that the pellets were completely dissolved within the solution. Raw Data Table: The temperature of water after dissolving different concentrations of Potassium Hydroxide in it. Concentration

from a cold temperature to room temperature; however‚ the rate of photosynthesis decreased in the body temperature. This means that the hypothesis was rejected. The rate of photosynthesis did increase‚ but only to a certain point. Based on these results‚ it can be concluded that photosynthesis performs better at room temperature that at cold temperature because thee low temperature slows down the reactions taking place in the chloroplasts. Photosynthesis performs better at room temperature than at body
