Enzyme

Used as a catalyst, Enzymes are a means of lowering the activation energy to speed up biochemical reactions, which make the organism more efficient, do to the use of less energy to get work done in the cell. With different enzymes such as lactase, catalase and amylase which each have different usages. The one used in this experiment is Amylase, which catabolizes starch molecules into sugar molecules. If this enzyme, or any enzyme, is not placed in their appropriate optimal temperature, then it will

Abstract Enzymes are an important biological substance, which are present in all living cells. Enzymes are proteins that are made of polypeptides chains (Reece, 2013). The functions of enzymes are to help speed up the reaction rate of the body. With out enzymes the body wouldn’t produce the reaction quick enough to support life. The enzyme acts as a substrate called catalyst (Reece, J. 2013). A catalyst is a substrate that occurs at the begging of the process. The activation energy decreases by

Enzymes, which are usually proteins, function as a catalyst in our cells that increase the rate at which reactions are processed by lowering the activation energy, or the energy needed for a reaction to begin (Reece, et al. 87). However, not all enzymes are proteins, but most do play a role in the body with several processes such as digestion and metabolism. While enzymes aid in the performance of reactions within the body to maintain life, they are not consumed by the reactions and work in specific

Enzymes are proteins and are made up of amino acids. Enzymes are catalysts which increase the rate of reaction. The enzyme lowers the activation energy in order for the catalyst to speed up the reaction. Enzymes will bind to a reactant molecule, the enzyme's substrate, the substrate binds to the active site. Enzymes are influenced by temperature, pH, and salinity. In the experiment, temperature was used to influence the enzymes, potato juice, in our experiment. How does temperature affect the

Activity of Enzyme Afomia Zewdie BIOL-1406-S4L Lab June 30, 2016 Abstract This experiment was performed in order to determine how the condition of the environment and the specificity can affect enzymatic activity. The activity of enzyme, how efficiently the enzyme functions, is affected by general environmental factors, such as temperature and PH. It can also affected by chemicals that specifically influence that enzyme. In condition of low temperature environment, the enzymes activity

this experiment is to see how the enzyme peroxidase performs under different conditions. An enzyme is a protein molecule that is a biological catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction, while also lowering the activation energy of a reaction. The activation energy of a reaction is the initial amount of energy that is necessary to bring reactants together with the proper amount of energy and placement so that products can be formed. Enzymes have a unique 3-D shape, which enables

Enzymes are proteins produced by living organisms to speed up a chemical reaction in the body. Enzymes are important because they are needed to start chemical reactions and to break down harmful substances. Enzymes work by first binding to a specific substrate. They bind on the active site. They then form a complex and react. The enzymes then produce a product and return to normal. Catalysts are used to speed up reactions in living organisms. Tissue cells have more catalase because they are exposed

Abstract: Enzymes are biological catalysts. They are also proteins and there properties are determined by their structure. The reactant is a substrate and the resulting factor is the product. . Enzyme activity is influenced by many different things including: substrates, products, presence of cofactors, and inhibitors. The effect of inhibitors is measured as a percentage called percent inhibition. During this experiment we observed the change in enzyme concentration, the change in substrate concentration

Activity of Enzymes Name: Vanessa Derner Date: January 26, 2017 Purpose: The purpose of this exercise was to determine the effect of temperature on catechol oxidase enzyme activity. The optimal temperature range was also determined for the same enzyme in this experiment. Results and Discussion: In this experiment, the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction was determined as well as the color changes at the different temperatures both for the catechol oxidase enzyme. The tubes

Introduction: The catalase enzyme is a substance inside all living things that speeds up chemical reactions and activities. Enzymes are proteins that lower the activation energy of chemical reactions and work on substrates, which are the product being changed. Enzymes are very specific and certain enzymes only react with certain substrates, the active site of an enzyme is the part of the enzyme that binds to the substrate. The active site and the substrate must have the same shape in order for this
