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…

As the temperature increases, the rate of reaction increases until it has reached the optimum temperature above 37°C where the temperature is very high then the reaction rate will decrease. In the data table shown above, there is a similar pattern from increasing the temperature will increase the rate of reaction and as the temperature slowly increases to a certain point then the reaction rate will decrease. When the temperature increase above 37°C, then denature will occur. Also, the…

1. In the last lesson we discussed homeostasis. Why is maintaining homeostasis important to enzymes? If homeostasis is not maintained, how can enzyme function be affected? Enzymes and many other organisms rely on homeostasis to complete their functions. Maintaining homeostasis is important because organisms adapt to fit their current environment, and if that environment does not stay constant the organisms might not be able to function due to their specialization. If the environment is in a…

Enzymes are catalysts that contain proteins. Catalysts are the part of the product that speeds up a reaction. Only reactions can occur when the right enzyme ends up finds the right material to produce a process. A low pH is a good environment for an enzyme as well as a low temperature. After the reaction, no enzymes are used up. They can be used again and again in reactions, once an enzyme is used in one reaction, it can be used in another. Enzymes are made up of proteins and proteins are made…

Introduction The effect different temperatures have on the rate an enzyme works was tested by this lab. The concentration of the enzyme catalase in different types of cell was also tested. Enzymes are balls of protein that change a specific substrate into a product by contact at the active site. Enzymes are reusable and once they finish tuning one substrate into a product, it moves on to the next substrate it bumps into in just the right way. The enzyme catalase, which this lab focuses on, can…

Cells contain organelles they aren’t touched basis on, that also play a very important role into the cell as far development goes. Many of the organelles operate off of other to maintain its specific duties with the human body. One in particular are considered to be peroxisomes. Peroxisomes have digestive enzymes in relations to lysosomes, but they have special bodies that allow it to work in low level regions in which wouldn’t be supported elsewhere inside of the specific cell. Peroxisomes…

To first perform this experiment a beaker of water was set to boil on a hot plate while samples of serum and benedicts reagent were collected. Six test tubes were gathered and labeled by which blood vessel the serum was collected from and by which category, either postprandial or fasting. Then by using a metric ruler two measurements were placed on the bottom of each tube, one at one centimeter and one at two centimeters. This was to indicate how much serum and Benedict’s reagent to use,…

For football, the requirement of this sport is not high than glycolysis and oxidative because of the movement. The movement that needed for this sport in ATP-PC energy is sprinting, jumping, kicking, dribbling, passing, catching (keeper) and heading. That the movement the needed for usage of ATP-PC. This energy system is use for high-intensity short bursts which mean it use in short period only and not for long period. For example, the players want to sprint to catch the ball. The phase from he…

Boronic acids have attracted attention as an alternative receptor to enzymes for saccharide detection (e.g., glucose oxidases for glucose detection).58-60 The enzyme-based sensing has the disadvantages that, since it is based on the rate of the reaction between the enzyme and the analyte, this approach is sensitive to various factors that affect the enzyme activity and the mass transport of the analyte, it consumes the analyte, and it requires mediators; in contrast, the boronic acid-based…

Homeostasis is the existence and maintenance of a relatively constant environment within the body. To achieve homeostasis, the body must actively regulate conditions that are constantly changing. As our bodies undergo their everyday processes, we are continuously exposed to new conditions. We call these conditions variables. One variable familiar to all of us is body temperature. Body temperature is a variable that can increase in a hot environment or decrease in a cold one. The organ systems…
