    Background Information Part 1 In the first part of the enzyme lab, we mixed a substrate and an indicator with an enzyme. There was also a neutral buffer in each of the chemical mixtures. The neutral buffer regulated the pH to around 7. We got a color palette and once we mixed each together, we observed and saw a change in the color of the substance. The darker and more brown the substance got, the more oxygen produced by the reaction. Our results showed that amount of oxygen produced increased

    then the pH of urine will decrease when the pH of urine is a function of caffeine levels. The data showed that the Diet Dr. Pepper caused the lowest average urinary pH, with a level of 5.08 over two trials. The second lowest was Iced Coffee with 5.33, then the water with 6.08, and lastly Monster Energy with 6.25. This was interesting seeing that the Monster has the second highest

    enzyme, just like any other enzyme, has an optimum PH and temperature range in which it is most active, and in which the substrate binds most easily. The purpose of this experiment was to determine (1) the reaction rate of an amylase enzyme in starch and (2) the environmental factors that can affect the enzymatic activity. The hypothesis, in relation to the enzymatic activity by variables such as the substrate concentrations, temperature, PH and chemical interactions on the rate of reaction

    If the concentration of hydrogen ions is high that means that the pH will be lower and vice versa, a low concentration would mean a high pH. All enzymes are not equally as functional across the spectrum of pH concentration, however each enzyme has it’s own optimum pH at which it is capable of performing its' designated function at the maximum rate. Enzymes sensitivity to pH is determined by the tertiary structure as it determines the shape and charge of the active site

    The environment around us is certainly acidic. Even though people often think the air around us is neutral, the atmosphere naturally contains acidic oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur that can harm our environment greatly. These oxides can be produced naturally and industrially. Sulfur dioxide is produced when organic matter decomposes and forms hydrogen sulphide which then oxidises to the oxide: 2H2S (g) + 3O2 (g) 2SO2 (g) + 2H2O. The natural sources of sulfur dioxide are in volcanic gases

    metabolic condition in which the pH of tissue is elevated beyond the normal range (7.35 -7.45) Causing Increased bicaronate in the blood. List PCO2 levels The normal range for Pco2 is between 35-45 mmHg. Anything above 45mmhg would be high. (Tortora & Derrickson, 2013) The normal ranges are 35-45 mmHg. Anything below 35 mmHg causes respiratory alkalosis. (Tortora & Derrickson,2013) N/A N/A List HCO3- levels N/A N/A When metabolic acidosis happens, it means that the HCO3 levels drop below 22mEq/liter. (Tortora

    The Effect of pH levels on the Rate of Activity of ⍺-Amylase Ryan Andrew Introduction: Enzymes are some of the most important chemicals in the human body. Without them, humans and many other organisms would simply be unable to live. Our dependence on enzymes comes from their nature as biological catalysts, substances that speed up chemical reactions without being used up or changed (Worthington-biochem.com, 2017). They allow chemical reactions in our body to occur at a rate that is acceptable

    Water Properties and pH Abstract: These set of experiment are set up to observe water properties and pH in both base and acidic solution. The first 7 are testing the properties of water and its function to support life. The last 3 are experimenting the pH of different solution as well as the use of buffer in nature and medical. Some experiments is omitted or change due to error in preparation, but overall the experiment does show significant details for natural phenomenal. Introduction: the purpose

    compensatory response for respiratory acidosis might include an immediate slight increase in bicarbonate levels. Another example of compensation would be hyperventilation as a response to metabolic acidosis. The compensatory response for respiratory alkalosis is a fall in the bicarbonate level – in chronic respiratory alkalosis this is achieved through renal excretion over time, while in an acute state, lower levels of CO2 produce a slight decrease of HCO3-. The compensatory response for metabolic alkalosis
