Test Tube Degrees Celsius
1,267 wordsEnzyme Action: Testing Catalase Activity Enzymes are proteins that serve as catalysts and accelerate chemical reactions in living organisms. Enzymes accomplish this by lowering the energy of activation of the organism it is acting upon, however enzymes will only lower the energy of activation for specific organisms, reducing chaotic chemical reactions. The reaction is carried out in its entirety in the active site of the enzyme. The substrate (organism acted upon), binds itself into the active s...

Rate Of Reaction Bunsen Burner
1,230 wordsInvestigate A Factor Which Affects the Rate Of Fermentation Of Yeast This experiment is investigating one of the factors which affects the rate of fermentation of yeast. Several factors affect the rate of reaction: &# 61656; Increasing the concentration. (See the lock and key theory. ) If the substrate (glucose) is increased, then there would be more keys for the locks, therefore an increase in reactant concentration leads to an increase in reaction rate. &# 61656; The surface area, the bigger t...

Rate Of Reaction Carbon Dioxide
1,229 words... onward sources, from a textbook, encyclopedia, and preliminary work that I have done in class. I have shown my results on a bar chart and a line graph. On the line graph, I have drawn a curve of best-fit. There were no anomalous results. From my results, and my graph, I have found out that as the temperature of the enzymes (yeast in this case) is increased, the rate of reaction speeds up. However, when the temperature reached a certain point, (about 40 degrees Celsius), the enzymes became de...

Rate Of Reaction Hydrogen Bonding
2,165 wordsRESEARCH I know that Rennin is an enzyme, so before conducting this experiment I am first going to do some research into enzymes and their effects. 1. Enzymes Enzymes are large globular molecules of which the vast majority are protein in nature, though some, known as 'ribozyme's' are made of RNA. Enzymes have catalytic properties; in other words, they alter the rate of reaction without themselves undergoing a permanent change. Most chemical reactions require an initial input of energy, called ac...

Rate Of Reaction Time It Takes
2,287 words... on to use ice and water baths, heated or cooled to different temperatures to achieve the correct temperature in the enzyme and substrate. 16. Plan for pH I am going to use the three categories of acid, neutral and alkaline to test how pH affects the rate of the enzyme rennin. Whilst studying the affects of varying the pH, I am going to ensure that all other variables are constant. Therefore, I will continue to use 2 ml of milk and 4 drops of rennin. The temperature I shall conduct these expe...

Rate Of Reaction Reaction Rate
1,069 wordsThe purpose of this experiment is to measure the rates of reaction of the enzyme Alkaline Phosphatase with the substrate p-nitro phenol phosphate under varying conditions. The concentration of both substrate and enzyme were diluted and the inhibitor vanadate was utilized to determine whether or not the reaction is substrate or enzyme dependent and to see what type of inhibition vanadate was involved. A class of proteins called enzymes catalyzes almost every chemical reaction in a cell. Enzymes i...

Investigation On The Enzyme Trypsin
2,197 wordsAn Investigation determining a factor affecting the rate of digestion of gelatin by the protease trypsin. Introduction An enzyme is a biological catalyst, which speeds up reactions. An example of this in the human body is trypsin (a protease produced in the pancreas and used in the stomach), which catalyses the digestion of gelatine, a protein. For this investigation, a photographic film will be the source of the gelatine. I will be able to identify when the gelatine is digested, when the photog...

Hydrogen Peroxide Degrees Celsius
539 wordsCatalase Which Is Found In The Liver' Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up the chemical reactions which go on inside living things. Without them the reactions would be so slow that life would grind to a halt. Enzymes work by when a substrate molecule bumps into a molecule of the right enzyme, it fits into a depression on the surface of the enzyme molecule. This depression is called the active site. The reaction then takes place and the molecules of product leave the acti...

Organic Molecules Life Span
525 wordsThe expression of genes is very complicated and is regulated by a number of things. Something that has a major effect on enzyme regulation and stability is temperature. Since enzymes are biochemical catalysts, made up at least partially of protein, they are sensitive in varying degrees to heat. Raising temperatures of the environment generally multiplies the degree of activity by the enzyme. Once an optimum temperature has been reached, however, temperatures that are too high will denature the e...

N P Active Site
952 wordsGlycolysis Reaction 1 Glucose -> Glucose 6 -phosphate (G- 6 -P) The first stage of glycolysis starts from reaction of phosphorylation. Phosphorylation is catalyzed by hexokinase. It is an endothermic ATP dependent reaction and requires energy from ATP. ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and phosphate. In such a way, glucose receives phosphate and energy. To sum up, the reaction is as follows: glucose + ATP a glucose- 6 -phosphate + ADP Reaction 2: Glucose 6 -phosphate (G- 6 -P) -> F- 6 -P (Fructose 6 -pho...

Rate Of Reaction Bunsen Burner
2,301 wordsFor this investigation I am going to investigate the effect of the concentration of an enzyme, in this case Amylase, on the time taken for the enzyme to fully breakdown the substrate, which in this case is starch. The reason why these two enzymes have to be used is because each enzyme is designed specifically to break down only one substrate as each enzyme is made of a protein that causes it to be a specific shape, in this case the enzyme Amylase can only break down starch to dextrin. I am going...

Without them, the rate of the reactions would be so slow as to cause serious, if not fatal, damage. Without enzymes toxins would soon build up and the supply of respiratory substrate would decrease. ? Enzymes are proteins and thus have a specific shape. They are therefore specific in the reactions that they catalyst? one enzyme will react with molecules...
