... catalase comes in. Catalase has to be very fast acting to keep the hydrogen peroxide levels low, and it is one of the fastest acting enzymes known. It catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, liberating oxygen gas as effervescence, each molecule ...

... then the faster the beads will rise. Saying this at forty degrees I believe that this process will stop at this temperature because the enzymes will not function properly. Up to this temperature I think the rate of reaction will ...

... again. 4. They are destroyed at high temperatures, as they are denatured by heat, most don't work at a temperature over 45o C, but there are always exceptions, some do work over this temperature. 5. Finally, they are sensitive to pH, most ...

... shapes of their active sites, which are essential for catalytic activity. With an altered active site, the enzyme loses its specificity and therefore cannot bind to its specific substrate and cannot function. The enzyme is therefore said to be denatured. The ...

... a test tube along with Ph buffer. Six different Ph levels were used. A delivery tube was attached to the end of the tube and the other end was lowered into a beaker full of water. The gas produced was ...

... ethanol. Fermentation is the anaerobic conversion of sugar to carbon dioxide and ethanol by yeast, this is another important process because without fermentation breweries could not exist as they would have no product to sell. I chose these topics after ...

... of the order of 1080, is most definitely on the side of reactants going to products. However, a glass jar containing two volumes of hydrogen and one volume of oxygen at room temperature, though potentially highly explosive, could exist in ...

... sheets. On the other hand, globular proteins have a tertiary structure that is important as is it bent and folded into a 3D spherical shape. Another difference is that fibrous proteins are insoluble in water, whereas globular proteins are soluble ...

... diffusion in their own layer, thus affecting the fluidity and permeability of the membrane. The protein molecules form an irregular arrangement and float about in the fluid phospholipid bilayer forming a fluid mosaic pattern. Proteins which occur on the surface ...

... also needs ionic compounds. The ionic compounds are soluble in water, but not fat, and cannot pass through the lipid bilayer. For this reason, the main function of proteins in the membrane is that of pores penetrating the lipid bilayer ...

... to form tunnels. Membrane carbohydrates also have a great importance to the function of proteins. Glycoproteins are often bound to the extra cellular side of the plasma membrane to create a method of recognition or adhesion. Glycolipids allow cell to cell ...

... its genetics have been well studied, clones in laboratories such as the Mice will likely facilitate the discovery of new treatments for diseases. Cure and reduction of diseases such as cardiovascular, disability and stroke can be studied into details by cloning ...

The general formula is CnH2n+2. This is the formula for any number of carbons. _______________________________________________________________ Alkenes Alkenes ...

... more than one codon - the genetic code is therefore said to be degenerate. For example, both GAA and GAG code for the amino acid 'glutamic acid'. It is usually a third base change which does not affect the amino ...

... and free from disease. Plants make their own food using energy from the sunlight. Animals eat plants or other animals Food is broken down from big, insoluble molecules to smaller, soluble molecules during the process of digestion. The smaller molecules (nutrients) ...

... fit into the enzymes active site. The reaction then takes place and the products leave the enzyme. The product is the chemical that is made. The substrate molecules fit precisely into the enzyme molecules. This theory is referred to ...

... shape. since enzymes can only function if they have a particular shape, the type of substance they act on depends on which substance has a complementary shape to the enzyme. hence, a different enzyme is requires for each type of food ...

... by B cells, they circulate in the blood that attacks disease and causes organisms, T cells attack organisms head on, and these cells can memorize earlier infections and therefore can act fast to avoid further attacks. The defence of the ...

... the name of a semi-permeable membrane. Thus the cell can alter the concentrations of certain molecules within itself as necessary. This makes the interaction of lipids and proteins within plasma membranes biologically important. "Lipids are crucial components of many signal transduction ...

... membrane are peripheral and integral proteins, glycoproteins, cholesterol and glycolipids. Glycoproteins are formed when carbohydrates are attached to the proteins in the membrane, and glycolipids form when the carbohydrates are attached to the phospholipids. The organisation of a phospholipid bilayer ...
