Enzyme Substrate Assignment
The bonding of an enzyme to its substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. The catalytic action of the enzyme converts its substrate into the product or products of the reaction. Each reaction is extremely specific, distinguishing between closely related compounds, including…
Goals Assignment
Write down one of your SMART goals as a college student. Date: 25 July 2014 Proof. Aid Alfalfa My SMART goal as a college student is to finish college and graduate with a degree in Chemical Engineering. The reason for…
Reaction Rates of Barley Alpha-Amylase Enzyme with Substrate Starch at Different Ph’s and Temperatures Assignment
Abstract Enzymes are proteins that lower the activation energy needed for chemical reactions. The two main environmental factors that can affect the enzyme’s activity are temperature and pH, and each enzyme works best at a particular temperature and pH. The…
An Investigation on the Rate of Reaction of the Enzyme Catalase on the Substrate Hydrogen Peroxide. Assignment
An Investigation on the rate of reaction of the enzyme Catalase on the substrate Hydrogen peroxide. Plan Aim: To investigate the rate of the effect of Catalase on hydrogen peroxide. Introduction This investigation will be carried out to investigate the…
Ap Lab 2: Enzyme Catalysis Assignment
Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to observe and understand the effects of changes in temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, and substrate concentration on the reaction rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Another purpose of the lab was to explain how…
Enzyme Lab Assignment
Enzyme Activity Lab Hypothesis: 1] Are enzymes reusable? Yes, enzymes are reusable. 2] Which of the following do you think contain catalase? [Manganese dioxide, chicken meat, apple, carrot, potato, or chicken liver] I think that the manganese dioxide, apple, and…
Effect of Ph and Temperature on Enzyme Activity in Skeletal Muscle Assignment
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to measure the effects of changes in temperatures and pH on enzyme activity in skeletal muscle, particularly the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). LDH is a glycolytic enzyme which converts pyruvate to lactate…
The Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity Assignment
Title: The Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity Speeds Problem: How do the factors of temperature, pH level, substrate concentration and enzyme concentration specifically and significantly alter the rate of enzymatic reactions? Background Information: Enzymes are critical to the function of human…
Enzyme Catalysis Assignment
ABSTRACT: This lab allows us to observe the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen gas. An enzyme known as catalase facilitates this decomposition reaction. The catalase enzyme acts as catalysis, helping lower the energy needed to activate…
