How Temperature Affect The Rate Of Respiration In The Peas

Decent Essays
The data supported the hypothesis due to the fact that the rate of respiration was lower when the peas were put under colder temperatures of water. The respiration rate also increased when the temperature of the peas was higher when they were put under warmer temperatures of water. Throughout cellular respiration, the works of different enzymes were the ones in charged for these changes. Enzymes have a special way on how they work, when enzymes have a temperature that is higher than normal, the reaction will increase and they will work faster, but when the temperature of the enzyme is slower than normal, they will stop working as fast as they normally do. Something important is that they work really fast when they are putted under high temperatures,

    Aim: This is an investigation to establish the effect of different temperatures (from 0°C -100°C) on the production of oxygen gas in a potato catalase reaction, using hydrogen peroxide as a substrate. The oxygen gas produced will be measured using a gas pressure sensor. Introduction: Enzymes are proteins, known as biological catalysts that increase the rate of reaction in a biochemical reaction without being chemically altered.…

    The effect of altering temperature on the rate of liver enzyme activity is measured in this experiment to be able to visualize how temperature in the environment and in the body can manipulate the rate of enzyme activity. Enzymes are protein catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy required to start a biochemical reaction. According to Dr. Meyertholen (2015), enzymes are structured to work with certain substrates, meaning that the structure determines the function of the enzyme. If the enzymes shape is altered, they become denatured. Denaturation of an enzyme can occur with changes in factors such as temperature, pH, or salinity.…

(http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/potm/2004_9/Page1.htm -JenifferMacdowall) Hypothesis: If we expose the catalase enzyme to freezing temperatures then the rate of the reaction will slow down. This is because when exposed to cool temperature enzymes move/vibrate less then when at regular or heated temperatures. Experimental Design: For this experiment the independent variable is the temperature that the catalase is exposed to, and the dependent variable is the rate of the reaction.…

    These amylases are to be tried at various temperatures fluctuating from 0° C to 80° C noted between 2 minute intervals until time extents to 10 minutes. This experiment will help define optimal temperatures of the bacterial amylase and the fungal amylase. It is predicted that at temperature of 55° C bacterial amylase will have its optimal temperature considering that bacteria number increases in warmer places. Furthermore, when the temperature is at 40° C, fungal amylase will have its optimal temperature considering that fungi thrive in cooler places. Additional matters to be attended in the following laboratory experiment are the denaturation of enzymes at a certain temperatures and enzyme activity as temperatures increase or decrease in relation to the optimal…

    From 10oC to 20oC, the average rate of reaction of the class results is higher than the raw results rate of reaction by a maximum of 0.75mL/sec. However, from 30oC to 50oC, the raw results presented a slightly higher lot of rate of reaction than the average rate of reaction from the class results. The highest rate of reaction difference was for 50oC, with a difference of 0.3mL/sec between the raw and average results. This information supports the hypothesis, yet the result for 10oC and 20oC do not support the hypothesis, as due to the information known about enzymes, the lower the temperature, the slower the rate of reaction should be, therefore the average rate of reaction does not support the…

    Yeast can use oxygen to release the energy from sugar in the process called "respiration". So, the more sugar there is, the more active the yeast will be and the faster its growth (up to a certain point - even yeast cannot grow in very strong sugar). However, if oxygen is short, then yeast can still release energy from sugar, but in these conditions, its byproducts are alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is this carbon dioxide gas which makes the bubbles in dough, causing the dough to rise. Basically, each sugar needs to be converted to glucose to enable it to feed into respiration and it is this process which produces the gas which causes the foaming or inflation of the dough.…

    Introduction: Leaf Disk float in water alone. When a solution consisting of a small amount of sodium bicarbonate is added to the water it causes the leaf disk to sink. As photosynthesis continues in the leaf disk it releases oxygen and causes the leaf disk to rise. While cellular respiration is occurring also the rate that the disk raise is an in implicit measurement of the net rate of photosynthesis. The independent variable in this lab is the solution and the light because it can be controlled.…

    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.…

    The purpose of conducting this experiment was to explore how different factors affect the reaction rate of enzymes reacting with their corresponding substrates in order to learn more about how enzymes function in different environments. The independent variables investigated in this experiment were the concentration of different substrates, the temperature of the environment, and the effect of a catalyst on the reaction rate. The dependent variable for all of the investigations was the time it took for the reaction to occur. To investigate the effect of the concentration of the substrate on the reaction time, four test tubes were used.…

    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.…

    On the other hand, a large scatters in group 6 results indicate that there are random errors presented during the experiment. It is recorded that the water bath temperature went down to 37℃ for yeast concentration of 2 and 2.5-gram experiments. Nonetheless, the possibility of the decline in temperature of 3℃ for two of the experiments would result in such the large scatter figures is very low. The decrease in temperature will affect the chemical reaction because enzymes are sensitive to changes in temperature and their chemical reaction become slower as the temperature decrease. Thus, another significant factor that affected the results is the yeasts from previous experiments were stuck into the tube, which might possibility be blocking the carbon dioxide to reach to the measuring cylinder.…

    The prediction for this experiment was: when the temperature hits 80 degrees Celsius, the catechol will be at its optimal absorbance. The alternate hypothesis tested for this following experiment was that there is a significant relationship between catechol and pH. In contrast, the null hypothesis states that there is no significant relationship between catechol and oxidase and pH. This hypothesis will be supported if the rate of catechol oxidase does not increase. The hypothesis was tested by observing the reaction time of catechol oxidase at four different…
