Research Question:
How does Liver react when it’s submerged with different liquids ?
Background Information:
Enzymes are catalysts for chemical reactions in living things, they help the body speed up the rate of virtually all of the chemical reactions that take place within cells.They are very important, enzymes are biological catalysts. Enzymes don’t need a lot of energy to start a chemical reaction, it all depends on the body's temperature. Enzymes need catalysts, catalyst is a substance that decreases the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction. Enzymes are very important for the human body, they are

1g: there was a bigger reaction than the 0.5g, the liver dissolved a little bit and the test tube got warmer and the color changed to yellow.

2g: the bigger piece had the biggest reaction, there was a lot of gas in the test tube, the stopper popped out of the test tube and the test tube was very warm, the liver bubbled a lot and fizzed a lot. Processed Data:

The oxygen becomes the gas and the water becomes the foam. Unlike the cow liver that was dropped into water, it did not react. The enzyme catalase was not activated to break anything down thus having no change on the cow liver.

Conclusion:
Based on the evidence stated above, the hypothesis is supported because the hydrogen peroxide ended up breaking down the cow liver emitting gas and foam. There was no reaction with H2O because no enzyme was activated. Evaluation:
Error
Effect on the data
Improvements (How to eliminate this error) We were confused about logger pro at first and how to use it none Read and watch the video more carefully.

    The reactants that enzyme act upon with the substrate and the enzyme will bind together into the active site. The catalyst is important to the enzyme that breaks down the hydrogen peroxide and oxygen gas, where the rate of reaction of the catalyst will increase the temperature until it has reached the optimum temperature above 37°C is reached. If the optimum temperature has reached above 37°C then the kinetic energy and substrate molecules will begin to denature. The purpose of the lab was to determine the effects different temperature in yeast and hydrogen peroxide in a catalyst enzyme on reaction rate. There were many sources of errors that occur in the lab from having just one trial, using the same thermometer for each solution and inaccurate timing.…

    OVERVIEW Four ablations will be done in ex vivo bovine for each flow rate. There will be three different flow rates: 0 mL/min, 860 mL/min, and 1000 mL/min. These flow rate were chosen based on hepatic flow rates of humans in the supine position (Brown et al. 1989; Leen et al. 1992). Each ablation will be performed at 40 watts for 2 minutes for a total of 12 ablations.…

    Discussion In this study, the Catechol enzyme was studied under the conditions of varying pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration. In Figure 1, the data suggested that the trend was neither directly nor inversely proportional, but the highest activity rate was at 24°C. Most enzymes denatured at higher temperatures of approximately 40°C, which led to the inability to see any color change (Helms et al., 1998). At lower temperatures, the enzyme was somewhat efficient because molecules move slower at lower temperatures, so enzymes lost productivity.…

    Introduction: Enzymes have a huge effect on the human body and other organisms. Enzymes are catalysts that are used to accelerate the reaction process by lowering the activation energy. For this experiment the catechol oxidase was extracted from potatoes. The enzyme is called catechol oxidase because the oxygen is reacting to catechol. Catechol oxidase causes the browning of the fruits and vegetables because the compound is toxic to the bacteria.…

    The foam is produced when catalase is in contact with hydrogen peroxide. Tube 1 with Temperature 2®C was measured at the highest foam height of 30mm. Tube 2 with the temperature at 23®C measured 23mm in foam height. Tube 3 with the temperature of 50®C foam height reached 2mm. But for tube 4 which was temperature 70®C and tube 5 that was temperature 100®C foam height ended up as 0mm, because if above 40®C most enzymes activities in living tissue become denatured meaning their secondary or tertiary protein structure breaks…
