on Enzyme Activity Rate Abstract The reaction rate of an enzyme can be affected by many factors‚ and the purpose of this experiment was to find out how an increasing substrate concentration influences the rate of an enzyme activity; we obtained data from recording the absorbance of the samples which contain the same amount of potato juice (enzyme oxidase) and different amount of catechol (substrate) while holding pH and temperature constant. Our findings illustrate that the rate of enzyme activity

on the rate of enzyme activity of Catalase Aim To investigate the effect of substrate concentration (manipulated by increasing concentration of hydrogen peroxide) on the rate of enzyme activity of catalase‚ produced by liver cells‚ on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Introduction Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rates of reactions. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction‚ the substrate binds to the active site and forms enzyme-substrate complex with the enzyme through the lock

Self-Regulated Learning "Learning is what most adults will do for a living in the 21st century." (Alfred Perlman). As he said‚ there is no doubt that learning is a very important skill especially in modern society because of the knowledge explosion and rapid developing of information technology. However‚ there are different results with different learning methods. Good learning method can lead to success easier‚ on the contrary‚ poor learning method means wasting time and energy. Therefor

Enzymes are protein‚ they are used to catalyse metabolisms in all organisms. They break down complex molecules and build up complex molecules from simple molecules‚ these two processes are catabolic reaction and anabolic reaction respectively. Enzymes are needed in these two processes to catalyse releasing and taking up ATP molecules. Different sequence of amino acid produces different structure of protein‚ which determines the property of protein‚ thus each kind of enzymes has its unique active

Paralegals have been around since the early seventies and the debate whether paralegals should be regulated has been around just as long. Paralegals assist attorneys in various legal capacities including drafting documents‚ conducting factual and legal research and working with clients. Although many paralegals can do much of the same work as lawyers‚ they may not practice law or give legal advice to clients. In Catherine R. Durgin’s piece in the Business Law Today‚ form the American Bar Association

Chemistry Unit 1 – Revision Questions Chemistry 1A 1) Define an element. How many are there in the Periodic Table? 2) Write a table with the charges and masses of protons‚ neutrons and electrons. 3) Define atomic number and mass number. 4) Draw electron (energy level) diagrams for Be‚ S‚ Al‚ Cl and K. Also‚ write down the number of protons and neutrons for each. Finally‚ write the symbols (with mass no. and atomic no.) 5) Why have all Group 7 elements (halogens) got similar chemical properties

Rate of Enzyme Activity Justin Hunter G. Kim September 16‚ 2011 September 26‚ 2011 Abstract Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms that is frequently used by cells to rapidly catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less reactive oxygen and water molecules. Catalase is a protein that is most commonly found in the liver. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect that changes in temperature and pH have on the function of the enzyme catalase

Enzymes All enzymes are globular proteins and round in shape They have the suffix "-ase" Intracellular enzymes are found inside the cell Extracellular enzymes act outside the cell (e.g. digestive enzymes) Enzymes are catalysts → speed up chemical reactions Reduce activation energy required to start a reaction between molecules Substrates (reactants) are converted into products Reaction may not take place in absence of enzymes (each enzyme has a specific catalytic action) Enzymes catalyse

A well – Regulated militia? A well-regulated militia is an essay by Paul Fussell. Paul Fussell is a well-established English professor and in his essay he shares his thoughts on the gun-law in America and the NRA’s way of misquoting. Paul Fussell is very eloquent in his words & he chooses his words with care. The way he appeals to the subject & the way he criticizes are so well formulated‚ however I will be focusing on the National Rifle Association. The NRA short for National rifle
