The average absorbance rate in figure 2 presents the different levels of reaction in terms of the chemical compounds. Comparing the average values (Team 1 representing our results) there is not much of a pattern when viewing the absorbance for each specific test tube for each team. Although, there are some values that were around the same range including test tube 2. As for enzyme change, the high amount of enzymes increases the absorbance that shows an increase in reaction as seen in test tube 4 (figure 1). However, because of the decrease at 30 minutes the results take a shift.…
3- The rate of Reaction for The substrate Concentration This graph demonstrates that the test tube with the most the substrate had the fastest enzyme catalysis with 20mM of the substrate concentration. Figure 4- The rate of Reaction for Enzyme…
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.…
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.…
The specificity of enzymes helps make them powerful tools in nature; they are allowed to form enzyme-substrate complexes. (Bioinfo.org.cn, 2015) Reaction rates controlled by enzyme can be measured using experimental methods where the factors such as enzyme, pH and temperature can be studied. These results can be…
These different conditions included changing amounts of concentration in the substrates and enzymes, having the enzymes set up in different temperature environments and adding different amounts of the hydroxylamine inhibitor to the enzyme. During both weeks of lab observation we used a variety of substances, such as guaiacol; working as the color reagent, peroxidase; the enzyme, hydrogen peroxide; the substrate, distilled water and turnip extract in which was…
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.…
The lowest reaction rate was at temperature zero degrees celsius, the peak absorbance around 0.2-0.3…
The rate of reaction was recorded in Table 1 and graphed in Figure 8. Table 1. Raw results of data Figure 7. Raw data presented in a graph, with the equation y= -0.0268x2 + 118721x +11.6.…
This laboratory consisted of knowing the different effects of adding an enzyme and adding a substrate to a chemical reaction. Also by increasing or decreasing the temperature of a reaction as well as adding an inhibitor to test the enzymatic activity that would take place in the reaction. With the prior knowledge we conclude a hypothesis for this experiment. Which is the concentration for substrate will increase as well as the rate of reaction. As the temperature increases the rate of reaction increases too.…
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.…
Abstract The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether the temperature can affect the reaction rate of enzyme activity. The enzyme activity was measured by five different temperatures, separated in tubes which later got measured by their height of foam after 10 minutes. Freshly-prepared potato juice was used as the enzyme for catalase. Since temperature is measured by the kinetic energy of molecules, the higher the temperature, the more movement of molecules.…
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.…
Many factors can affect the enzyme activity (including temperature, pH, substrate concentration), so all conditions apart from the one being quantified should be standardised. The…
