hemicellulose, resulting in a hydrophobic crystalline or complex amorphous structure, which protects against biodegradation. Collectively these physical properties of lignocellulose do not present well-defined enzymatic targets, making it difficult for enzymes to bind to susceptible sites and thereby conferring considerable resistance to microbial degradation (e.g., Moran & Hodson, 1989). These characteristics of higher plant structural material have been
effects on temperature and ph of enzymes activity saliva amylase Term 3 Year level; Twelve Name; Michelle Van Biljon Teacher; Miss Draft due; Week 5 (Tuesday) Due date; Week 6 (Tuesday) Introduction The enzymes inside the human body is a protein molecule which is a biological catalyst containing 3 types of characteristics. The first characteristic of an enzyme is to increase inside the human body depending on the rate of reaction. Secondly most of the enzymes inside the human body will take
Borad The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity Introduction: Metabolism is a necessary process in the function of living cells, which is driven by enzymes. Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. Changes in the pH of an environment in which the enzymes act affect their performance capability. The optimum pH is the pH in which the enzymes catalyze the reaction at the fastest rate. The type of enzyme affects its optimum pH. Enzymes are typically denatured
by something called Enzymes. Enzymes are basically catalyst that are organic which are made up of hundreds of amino acids and are pertained as fairly large (Biology Department, n.d, p.34). Similar to other catalyst, enzymes have the capability of fulfilling their function without allowing themselves to be consumed as well as disfigured. Enzymes can also carry on their function without changing the chemical equilibrium between reactants and products (Cooper GM, 2000). Enzymes main function is to help
complex study of life. Amylase, an enzyme that catabolizes starch polymers, is one of the most important enzymes needed for the production of certain foods, such as syrups, and different processes such as fermentation. Like everything’s biological nature, these certain enzymes are affected by different factors ranging from pH levels to temperature. Finding out the temperature at which these enzymes reach their optimal condition (conditions at which these enzymes work the best), is one of the most

Without catalysis reactions the process would take place slowly to produce products , enzymes are most effective catalyst (Campbell and Farrell, 2011) .A catalysed reaction is
Introduction Enzymes, our basic standard form of life, are biological catalysts that regulate the production of energy through thousands of chemical reactions. Each and every form of enzyme is important because we are dependent on it to produce our supply of energy. With the absence of these enzymes, life would be inconceivable due to the fact that it is what breaks down our food, controls the speed of chemical reactions within our body, and regulates all cell communication and growth in order to

The Effects of Varied Temperatures, pH Values, Enzyme Concentrations, and Substrate Concentrations on the Enzymatic Activity of Catecholase By: Danielle Pasteur October 12, 2015 BY 123L: 11:15-2:05 Introduction An enzyme Hypothesis The null hypothesis will be that the test tubes with an increase in temperature, pH values, enzyme concentrations, and substrate concentration will have a very small color change or no color change at all. The alternate hypothesis is that the test tubes containing an

Enzymes, a specific type of catalyst, are proteins that increase the rate of reaction by converting a substrate to a product in biological processes (Burns, 2002). Enzymes are never used up, but are consistently recycled in order to catalyze many reactions in a certain amount of time. Every enzyme has a specific shape due to the sequence of amino acids, which results in the ability of only a specific
