    accurate and reliable. For everything else‚ I followed my original plan. To ensure the results were accurate‚ I made sure I accurately measured out the amylase and starch solutions for each experiment. This is because‚ if I had the wrong amounts‚ I would not get a valid conclusion‚ as I will not know whether my results are affected by the concentration of starch‚ or whether the results I got were due to the amounts of solution used. This would make both my results and conclusion invalid and unreliable

    LAB 10: NAME: DaeNia La Rodé DATE: 25TH January‚ 2011. FORM CLASS: L6 3 SUBJECT: Biology TITLE: Enzymes AIM: To investigate the effect of substrate concentration on the enzyme amylase INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are perhaps one of the most important proteins of the human body. Enzymes such as amylase‚ an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates‚ work by means of surface catalysis. In other words‚ the surface of the enzyme enables other molecules to react in a manner they would not be able to without

    Lab Partner: _____________________________________________________________________ Investigating Factors that Affect the Rate of Enzyme Activity See Textbook Pg 61. Enzymes are very large complex organic molecules that are synthesized by the cell to perform specific functions. These biological catalysts are important because they speed up the rate of the reaction that would otherwise be too slow to support life. Catalase is an enzyme present in the cells of plants‚ animals and aerobic (O2

    investigate the effect of substrate concentration Hydrogen Peroxide H O (in %) on the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase (in 1/mean time). Prediction: As the substrate concentration (hydrogen peroxide) in % increases the rate of reaction in 1/mean rate increases until the solution becomes saturated with the substrate hydrogen peroxide. When this saturation point is reached‚ then adding extra substrate will make no difference. The rate steadily increases when more substrate is added because

    The effect of increasing substrate concentration on rate of an enzyme reaction. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower a reactions activation energy making possible many of the reactions needed for life to exist.  Enzymes have a high specificity which have been explained by many theories such as Fischer’s lock and key. Currently the most widely accepted theory is the induced fit hypothesis proposed by Koshland in 1958. This hypothesis solves some of the problems with the Lock and key theory

    Practical: The Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate Aim: To use a simple reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid to discover concentration this determines how fast chemical reactions occur. Independent Variable: Concentration of hydrochloric acid (%) Dependent Variable: Time taken for chemical reaction to take place (sec) Hypothesis: My prediction is that the increased concentration of the thiosulfate will in turn lead to an increase in the rate of reaction. This is

    Abstract The following experiment details the effect of different concentrations of catalase on the production of oxygen and water through the breakdown of Hydrogen Peroxide. In this experiment paper disc where coated in varying concentrations of catalase‚ 0‚ 25‚ 50 75 and 100%. The time taken for the disc to float between two markers on the side of a glass was then recorded. This experiment demonstrates that the higher the concentration of enzyme used the greater the production of oxygen on the
