Concentration on Catalase Reactions Blake Devivo Biol 101 Lab February 10, 2016 Abstract The human body contains thousands of tiny structures called enzymes that perform specific functions. One enzyme called “Catalase” is often used to regulate the amount of a toxic compound, hydrogen peroxide, in the body. The purpose of this experiment was find the different factors that can affect Catalase-Peroxide reactions. The first part of this experiment demonstrated that catalase reactions with…

the mechanisms and rates of chemical reactions (Sciencebuddies). The mechanisms describe variations of each molecule during the chemical action such as which bond is broken, which bond together newly, and how the three-dimensional shape of the chemical changes (Sciencebuddies). The rate of the reaction is measuring the speed of the chemical reactions (Sciencebuddies). Study of chemical kinetics would have a great impact on chemistry. It benefits on comprehension of chemical reaction processes…

Question How does the change in hydrochloric acid concentration affect the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3(aq)) and hydrochloric acid (HCL(aq))? Background to the Research question Collision Theory Back in 1916, scientists William Lewis and Max Trautz proposed the collision theory, which qualitatively explains how chemical reactions take place and why reaction rates change for various reactions. Chemical reactions involve collisions amongst reactant particles or atoms to…

effect the rates of most biological reactions and biological processes in ectotherms. The rates of ontogenetic growth and development are no exceptions. Ectothermic animals develop faster at warmer temperatures and they usually mature at smaller body sizes. This phenomenon has been called the temperature size rule (Zuo et Al. 2011). The temperature size rule is a necessary outcome of differences in the temperature dependence of somatic growth rate and development rate, thus proving rates of…

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 state of disarray, i.e., homeostasis is not maintained, then the enzymes could be denatured as a result. 2. A reaction you are monitoring is catalyzed by an enzyme. You start recording data at a low temperature, and gradually increase the…

proteolytic enzyme, important for the digestion of proteins. Enzymes are biological catalysts for metabolic process in cells. A catalyst is a substance that changes the rate of a reaction. Enzymes act as catalysts for chemical reactions in the body. Enzymes are large proteins that are not consumed or changed in a chemical reaction. They are highly specific to the substrate - the substance an enzyme acts on - they act upon. When an enzyme is available with an empty active site, the substrate…

adsorbate (mg L–1), and b is a constant which reveals the affinity of binding sites (L mg-1). From the plots between (Ce/qe ) and Ce the slope (1/qm ) and the intercept (1/ qmb) can be calculated. The Langmuir constant used to calculate the suitability of the adsorbent to adsorbate by using dimensionless factor RL by: (5) 0 1 designated un-favorable and RL = 1 be a sign of linear and RL = 0 point out as irreversible adsorption. Adsorption constants and correlation coefficients…

The transport of 90Sr , 137Cs and 60Co through disc ceramic -supported liquid membrane impregnated in P5 diluted in toluene was examined. The study of The mass transfer rate, expressed as permeability (P), focused on diffusion through the aqueous layer in the feed solution, the organic layer and the aqueous layer in the stripping solution. The aqueous feed solution speed Homogenizer (300-800 ml/min), carrier concentration…

ABSTRACT: Enzymes are catalysts, speeding up of chemical reactions, of biological systems by lowering the activation energy (Transitioned from the AP Biology Lab Manual). In addition, in order to determine the rate of an enzymatic reaction, one must measure a change in the amount of at least one specific substrate or product over time. We were curious about determining the effects of pH and heat on enzymatic activity because these are factors that usually affect the shape of an enzyme. We…

purpose of this lab is to solve for the equilibrium constant of a reaction between iron (iii) ions and thiocyanate ions. The lab is divided into two parts: one section recording absorbance of reference solutions and the other part for the absorbance of test solutions. The reference solutions were created through the mixing of excess iron (iii) nitrate (Fe(NO3)3) with a known concentration of potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) in order to push the reaction to completion; the initial concentration of…
