Since enzymes cannot cause inefficient reactions to occur, I can be sure that the reaction will either speed up or have no reaction with the enzyme. ... Beyond that temperature, however, the speed of the enzymatic reaction drops sharply. ... If light passes through a solution, there will be some light that is absorbed and some light that is transmitted. ...
Next, ATP plus a base and also GTP (both observed in only one group) produced a tiny amount of light, and NADH, ATP plus an acid, and plain lantern producing no light. ... These are components of a firefly's abdomen that make it light up. ... Materials and Methods Although all materials needed for this experiment could be obtained at any time, speed was of the essence. ... We then observed the light energy that was released on a scale of 0-5. Zero being no light was omitted and five being the most light omitted. ...
Enzymes control the speed in which reactions take place and without them, organisms such as humans would cease to exist (Biology 12, pg.50) Every single molecule in existence has some energy and that energy can be classified as kinetic or potential energy. ... Enzymes are used as catalysts to lower the amount of activation energy and speed up the rates of reactions which is shown in the work "Activation Energy: Kick starting Chemical Reactions" by Vance Kite. ... Once the enzyme binds to the substrate, the enzyme will act as a catalyst, speed up the reaction and release the produc...
Enzymes are biological catalysts, meaning they speed up a reaction. ... A major error that occurred throughout was the presence of light. The experiment took place in a room with high light exposure, which is responsible for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. ... This had an affect on the experiment, as those in a shaded area were not exposed to light, which is responsible for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. ...
