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

[Name] [Teacher] [Course] [Date] Catalase Lab Report An enzyme is something that helps to speed up a chemical reaction. The enzyme changes from reaction to reaction‚ but it always has the same impact. However‚ certain variables may cause the enzyme to have a more or less significant impact on the speed of each reaction. One of these variables that changes the effectiveness of an enzyme is temperature. There is an optimal functioning temperature for each enzyme in each reaction‚ depending on

Effect of an Orange on Catalase Activity in Comparison with a Potato Introduction Catalysts are substances that increase chemical reactions while using less energy. They also remain unchanged after use‚ which enables it to be used repeatedly. Cells have special catalysts called enzymes‚ which are specialized proteins that help accelerate chemical cell reactions. (Evert‚ RF & Eichhorn‚ SE 2013). Enzymes also control plant metabolic processes such as respiration (Evert RF‚ Eichhorn SE & Perry JB

October 12th 2014! The Effect of Glucose on The Cellular Respiration of Yeast! Purpose: ! The purpose of this lab is to determine if the quantity glucose solution will increase or decrease the rate at which cellular respiration occurs at within the tested 20% yeast suspension.! Question:! What are the effects of increasing or decreasing the quantity of 0.06mol/L glucose solution on the cellular respiration within the tested yeast molecules?! Hypothesis: ! When the quantity of glucose solution is increased

From the graphs‚ it is evident that an increase in both catalase concentration and substrate concentration resulted in a higher rate of reaction or‚ as observed in the kPa graphs‚ a higher volume of O2(g) formed at the end of the 5 minute trial. Interestingly‚ it should also be noted‚ as it was mentioned in the Figure 2‚ that the trend for the 6mL of 3% H2O2(aq) was more of a linear trend than an exponential decay‚ steadily rising until the end of the 5 minute trial. From this‚ it can be inferred

of different amounts of a substrate on the respiration rate of yeast and to compare this to the effect of different amounts of glucose on the rate of yeast respiration. The substrate which I chose to further investigate was fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar which is one of the three‚ along with glucose and galactose‚ dietary monosaccharides that are directly absorbed into the bloodstream during digestion. Materials: 2% yeast solution Large beaker Small beaker Conical flask Thermometer

Purpose The purpose of this catalase lab is to design simple experiments to demonstrate how various factors affect the rate of enzyme activity. This lab shows how the enzyme decomposes in hydrogen peroxide.

Cervisiae<br><br><b>Description</b> - Yeast is a unicellular organism that lacks chloroplasts. They are so small that it can ’t be seen by the naked eye and they are so small that it would take 4000 of them lined up side by side to measure an inch. <br><br><b>Habitat</b> - Yeast lives on and is nourished by dead or living plant or animal matter. The ideal conditions of yeast is high humidity and temperature‚ plus lots of food. In bad conditions though the yeast produces a second cell wall for protection and the yeast contents

Investigation into how pH levels affect Catalase activity in potato samples – (enzymes) Introduction: The aim of this investigation is to understand and monitor the effects pH levels have on catalase activity within controlled potato samples. Catalase is a type of enzyme that is found widespread among organisms that grow in the presence of oxygen (almost all living things) its specific use is to speed up the decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) within cells. Hydrogen peroxide is a bi-product

Making Bread with Yeast By Rebecca Coles Introduction Bread is such a common food‚ who would expect it to be made in such a fascinating and clever way? A simple loaf contains just four main ingredients; flour (the main ingredient)‚ warm water (the yeast prefer the water warm)‚ salt and of course the yeast‚ tiny microscopic fungi that help the bread rise. Although fascinating the process is surprisingly simple; first‚ the flour‚ sugar and water is mixed together with yeast to make the bread
