Activity of Diastase on Starch at Different Temperatures at PH5.8 Temperatures - 25,40,60&100 Procedure - I will label 5 test tubes at different temperatures as stated above leave one at room temp as control I will place each test tube in appropriate water bath for 5mins exactly. Remove and cool rapidly to room temperature. Requirements 5 test tubes labelled. Test tube rack Thermometer Pipette (5cm) Stop timer White tile 6 glass rods. Water baths maintained at 25, 40, 60, &100 25cm of 0.5% of Diastase solution. Starch solution as substrate 25cm of 0.5% dilute iodine. Enzymes are proteins that control vital biological processes. They often act as biological catalysts. They are made in cells. A catalyst is a chemical substance which speeds up a reaction but does not get used up during it. One enzyme molecule may be used several times over. A rise in temperature increases the rate of most chemical reactions and a fall in temperature will slow them down. In many cases a rise in 10¦ C will double the rate of reaction in acell. This is particle theory. I am going to investigate the temperature at which reactions occur. An increase in temperature will result in a n increase in kinetic energy. Since the kinetic energy increases, the velocity of particles will also increase. Since the speed of particles increases, they should collide more often and therefore the speed of reaction increases. The particles will also have more energy thereby speeding up the reaction even more. It has been suggested that for every 10degree rise in temperature, the speed of the reaction will double till optimum. At low temperatures particles of reacting substances do not have much energy. However, when the substances are heated, the particles take in energy. This causes them to move faster and collide more often. The collisions have more energy, so more of them are successful. Therefore the rate of reaction increases. The more successful the collisions are
Fortunately, when making its descent of hundreds of metres, the Plesiosauroid would have been able to exploit traits possessed by many of the reptile class. Many reptiles hold the ability to temporarily slow their heart rate to reduce their oxygen consumption, via bradycardia. This effect may be caused by low temperatures, such as is found deeper in the ocean, or may be voluntarily triggered by the animal.
The Effect of Temperature on an Enzyme's Ability to Break Down Fat Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on an enzyme’s (lipase) ability to break down fat. Hypothesis: The graph below shows the rate increasing as the enzymes get closer to their optimum temperature (around 35 degrees Celsius) from room temperature. The enzyme particles are moving quicker because the temperature increases so more collisions and reactions occur between the enzymes and the substrate molecules. After this the graph shows the rate decreasing as the enzymes are past their optimum temperature (higher than). They are getting exposed to temperatures that are too hot and so the proteins are being destroyed.
My teacher suggested that I apply this same logic to global warming. It is a matter of playing the odds.
How Amylase Concentration Affects the Rate of the Starch Concentration In this piece of coursework, I have to carry out an investigation to find out how amylase concentration affects the rate of starch. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the chemical reaction that goes on inside living things. An enzyme acts on substrate and may do its job inside or outside the cells. However, the rate at which enzymes work are affected by the following factors/variables: Concentration:
I blanked it with 2 cm³ water, 1 cm³ amylase and 3 drops of iodine.

Investigating the Effect of Enzyme Concentration on the Hydrolysis of Starch with Amylase Aim: Investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction. Using amylase and starch as my example. Introduction: I am investigating the effect of the concentration of the enzyme, amylase on the time taken for the enzyme to fully breakdown the substrate, starch to a sugar solution. The varied variable will be the concentration and all other variables are going to be fixed. The different concentrations will be: 0.5% 0.75% 1.0% 1.5% 2% An enzyme is a class of protein, which acts as a biological catalyst to speed up the rate of reaction with its substrates.
The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The higher the hydrogen ion concentration, the lower the pH. Most enzymes function efficiently over a narrow pH range. A change in pH above or below this range reduces the rate of enzyme reaction. considerably.
This was the original argument used by the carbon industry to discredit climate change and global warming.
The pH of the solution would alter the rate of the reaction if it was
