    The purpose of this lab is to examine cross sections from the leaves of C3 and C4 plants and to determine the morphological differences between them while relating those differences to their metabolism. In C3 plants the carbon dioxide is first incorporated into a 3-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the day and photosynthesis takes place throughout the mesophyll cells. In comparison C4 plants, the CO2 is first incorporated into a 4-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the day and photosynthesis takes place within the inner cells.…

    What predictions would you make about the enzyme activity if you were to continue to change each of the factors in Parts A – E? The predictions that would be concluded about the enzyme activity if it were to continue and change each of the factors in Parts A – E, would be that enzyme activity will decrease due to the optimal temperature, pH, concentrations, and metal salt concentration not being obtained. How does changing the concentration of enzyme affect the rate of decomposition of H2O2?…

    Enzymes are protein molecules that significantly speed up the rate of virtually all of the chemical reactions that take place within the cell. In the following lab was to examine an enzyme that is found in pineapples. That enzyme is bromelain its breaks down protein into their protein into their amino acid by a process of hydrolysis. They are found in tropical areas like Hawaii, Thailand, and Brazil. For the first experiment the hypothesis was that the when gelatin was added to the water, fresh pineapple juice, and canned pineapple juice and submerged into the ice chest the solutions would turn into Jell-O.…

    INTRODUCTION: The objective of this lab is to measure the activity of an enzyme and the effects of environment conditions on enzyme activity. Enzymes are catalysts; agents that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required. This means that a catalyst helps reactions occur at a greater speed and lower temperature.…

    A chemical reaction’s rate is described by the amount of product formed. Substances that increase that rate are called catalysts. Catalysts are often proteins called enzymes. Enzymes change the pathway of the reaction between the products and the product. However, enzymes don’t alter the starting or ending points.…

    In most cases, a chemical reaction is able to occur in more than one way; enzyme kinetics studies the effect of how biological catalysts can influence biochemical reactions. Enzymes play an important role in regulating metabolic pathways in the human body and without enzymes they will not function efficiently. The rate of a reaction is enhanced by enzyme activity which provides alternate pathways for the reaction to proceed by.…

    b. Using this information and what you learned this lesson, which of these enzymes breaks down dietary proteins in the small intestine? Explain how you reached this conclusion. Using the elimination method, I can conclude that trypsin breaks down proteins in the small intestine. This is also backed up by the fact that pH levels in the small intestine range from seven to nine, and trypsin’s optimal pH is eight (not by coincidence).…

    This causes the reaction to be slowed down or even stopped completely. Discussion In conclusion, the pH and temperature that most closely mocked the enzyme in its natural state were the most reactive. This is because the enzyme is not denatured and acts as it should. The hypothesis; if the pH and/or temperature are altered then the enzyme will become denatured, but if the temperature and/pH remain at normal levels (i.e. room temperature, or pH level 7) the enzyme will remain intact and function properly; was proven through this experiment.…

    Discussion: The specific purpose for this study was to see how enzyme activity would change as there was a change in temperature and pH. Both temperature and pH were hypothesized to have an affect on enzyme activity. Each had an optimal temperature. At this point, the rate of enzyme activity would stop increasing and begin to decrease. For temperature, it was hypothesized that the optimal temperature would be 48°C.…

    Enzymes are certain proteins in the body that breaks down material as the body consumes it. The rates on enzyme activity are affected by pH, temperature, or other factors. Organisms need to maintain homeostasis and stable internal conditions. It is important that the body maintains its balance and stays healthy!…

    1. Explain how an enzyme works, and how a coenzyme or cofactors may be involved in an enzymatic reaction. An enzyme is a type of protein that is produced by living organism, that also speeds up a chemical reaction without actually being involved in the reaction itself. Reactions occur under mild conditions; enzymes also control the metabolism, by taking out nonspecific side reactions.…
