Enzyme Experiment: The Temperature Of The Enzyme Experiment

876 Words4 Pages

Catalyse Enzyme Experiment.

Enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up chemical reactions which go on inside living things. Without them reactions would be so slow that life would grind to halt.
These are examples that can decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide.
The temperature of the liver
The surface area of the liver
The Ph. of the hydrogen peroxide
The concentration of the enzymes
The variables I am going to look at are, different
Temperatures in hot water baths, and one with an ice bath.

My Hypothesis for this experiment would be that the temperature of the liver enzymes would react best at, 35-40 degrees, because the enzyme in the liver wouldn’t exist after 40 degrees Celsius I know this because of this is the experiment that I have just carried out, as soon as the rate goes over every ten degrees Celsius the liver is warmed up but when it goes over 40 Celsius the rate of decomposition will slow it down, So reaching the highest Celsius in my experiment would be 60 Celsius so therefore the enzyme really wouldn’t exist. There for my enzyme activity would be at its greatest in room temperature.
My Null Hypothesis would be that the liver enzyme would work at 60 degrees Celsius and that the enzyme wouldn’t well at 35-40degrees Celsius.

The Rational for this experiment is, ‘Thousand cellular respiration’. The Aim of this Practical investigation is to “see what factors affect the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by the enzyme catalase which is found in the

    Each were labeled and paired up with one containing the other set of ingredients. To determine if temperature affected the performance of peroxidase each set was isolated in a specific temperature. Two of the test tubes were set in a refrigerator of 4 degrees Celsius, another pair was left to sit in room temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, the third pair was left in an incubator of 32 degrees Celsius, and the last pair was left in a water bath of 60 degrees Celsius. All four sets were left in their designated temperature for 15 minutes. Before the 15 minutes were up the spectrophotometers were set at 470 nm and zeroed out using the blank.

    Introduction: Enzymes are needed for survival in any living system and they control cellular reactions. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the energy needed for molecules to begin reacting with each other. They do this by forming an enzyme-substrate complex that reduces energy that is required for a specific reaction to occur. Enzymes determine their functions by their shape and structure. Enzymes are made of amino acids, it 's made of anywhere from a hundred to a million amino acids, each they are bonded to other chemical bonds.

    It was hypothesized that the optimal pH for the enzyme was pH 7 while the 1.0 ml peroxidase would have the best reaction rate. At the end of the experiment the results prove the hypothesis to be incorrect. INTRODUCTION Enzymes are proteins that allow a reaction to speed up. These proteins are made up of monomers known as amino acids.

    Enzymes are a form of protein that lowers activation energy and speeds up reactions as a catalyst. They are made by the stringing together of an abundant amount of amino acids and folded into a specific shape for chemical reactions. Turnip Peroxidase is the enzyme used in this lab and is derived from the vegetable. Enzymes are not used up or permanently altered by their environment Peroxidases are found in a range of organisms and function to break down alcohol (H2O2) and creates byproducts of oxygen and water. In this experiment, the reducing agent guaiacol is added with the substrate, hydrogen peroxide, to create water and oxygen.

    The effect of pH on the speed of enzyme interaction with substrate chemicals Hypothesis: About pH: If the pH level is less than 5, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will be slower. About temperature: If the temperature stays the same, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will not be completely affected. Background information: The function of enzymes is to speed up the biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy, they do this by colliding with the substrate.

I believe glucose and fructose was used as an indicator because they are what produces sucrose and sucrose creates more sucrase activity.

    Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of a reaction without being chemically changed. Enzymes are globular proteins that contain an active site. A specific substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme chemically and structurally (4). Enzymes also increase the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation energy for that reaction which is the minimum energy required for the reaction to take place (3). Multiple factors affect the activity of an enzyme (1).

    Introduction In class, a series of experiments were performed that pertained to the enzyme known as catalase, which converts hydrogen peroxide into oxygen. Due to peroxide being toxic to the tissues of both plants and animals, both possess the enzyme catalase, which breaks into two non-toxic compounds: water and oxygen gas. Enzymes are proteins that react to certain substrates to create a product, and continue doing so afterwards. Methods and Materials To test reactions between catalase and hydrogen peroxide, groups of three to four people were formed.

    Bio Chem lab Report 04 Enzyme Biochemistry Group Member: Chan Man Jeun Duncan (16002621) Law Sze Man (16000478) Introduction Enzyme is a protein base structure substance in our body. It works at a biocatalyst that will catalyzing the chemical reaction, which helps to speed up the chemical reaction. Enzyme could only function in specific shape, and the shape of enzyme is depending on the environment, therefore it is hard for an enzyme to function well in an extreme environment. The aim of this experiment is to see can the enzyme functions normally in different environment(pH, temperature and salt concentration) via using starch solution, amylase from saliva, 0.5M HCl solution, 0.5M NaOH solution and NaCl solution, and using iodine solution

    The enzyme this lab will be looking at today is the catalase enzyme. Catalase is found among almost all living organisms. The catalase which this lab uses will be a 1% catalase solution but an example of natural catalase is the catalase found in the liver. Catalase reacts with hydrogen peroxide, binding onto it and breaking it down into the less toxic water and oxygen. The equation for this reaction is the following: 2 H2O2 = 2

    They can only quicken reactions that will eventually occur, but this enables the cell to have a productive metabolism, routing chemicals through metabolic pathways. Enzymes are very specific for the reactions they catalyze; they make sure the chemical processes go in the cell at any given time. Peroxidase was the enzyme being testing in this experiment. A peroxidase is an enzyme that acts as catalysts, which occurs in biological systems. Peroxidase is found in plants, which they play a role in helping to minimize damage caused by stress factors or insect pests.
