Here the three carbon pyruvic acid molecule is processed to produce ATP and carbon Dioxide molecules. This cycle uses ATP to specifically break down the pyruvate into Acetyl co-A. Once this goes through the cycle limited ATP as well as more NADH is produced .This happens in the mitochondria when sufficient oxygen is present to turn the carbon Dioxide. Is the role of the electron transport system? Include the reactants and the products.
Date: February 15, 2013 Title: The Iodine Clock Reaction Aim: i. To determine the order of the reaction between sodium peroxodisulphate (VII) and potassium iodide from initial rates ii. To determine the rate law of the reaction between sodium peroxodisulphate (VII) and potassium iodide. Theory: Define rate equation, rate constant, and the order of a reaction with respect to a particular reagent, describing methods of finding the order. Define also the overall order of a reaction and describe how it’s found.
The tubes were labeled from 0 to 7, tube 7 being the unknown concentrated solution. Another set of 7 tubes were obtained and 2mls of the BCA Kit Working Reagent (WR) were added to them. The WR was made by adding 50 parts of reagent A to 1 part reagent B supplied in the kit. The WR tubes were blue-green in color. Using a transfer pipette, 2 drops of protein solution was added to the corresponding WR tubes.
Metabolism GRT1 Task 208.5.4-01, 03-05, etc. A1. Role of enzymes in process Enzymes are proteins that will bind to a substrate to help carry out a specific chemical reaction, and the end result of this is a new product. The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme. This is called the ES complex.
Properties of Enzymes: Peroxidase, A Case Study Objectives Name the class of macromolecules to which peroxidase belongs and the monomers that make it up. Name the substrates and products of the peroxidase catalyzed reaction. Explain the role of guaiacol in this experiment. Define enzyme, activation energy, active site, pH, and denaturation. Distinguish between oxidation/reduction, activation energy/catalysis, substrate/product, and hydrogen peroxide/peroxidase.
The activity site in a metabolic reaction depends on the types of amino acids present, which determine the shape of the enzyme. Metabolic reactions in lipids and amino acids tend to produce a byproduct of hydrogen peroxide, which is toxic. The enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide is called catalase, which metabolizes lipids and amino acids in living organisms. We set out to determine the effects of pH levels on the ability of the enzyme catalase to break down the byproduct of hydrogen peroxide. pH levels can have an effect on the shape of the protein molecule and when the shape of the enzyme is changed, the ability to catalyze the reaction is taken away.
An enzyme is a protein produced by an organism that acts as a catalyst in a biological chemical reaction (Bruns, Schmidt 2011). There are four steps included in the complex process of an enzymatic reaction. First, the enzyme combines with the substrate, the compound upon which the enzyme reacts. Second, the combination of the enzyme and the substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. Third, the substrate becomes activated through the enzyme-substrate complex, allowing the electrons and atoms to rearrange to form the product of the reaction.

57 THE IODINATION OF ACETONE Part One: Determining the Rate for a Chemical Reaction The rate of a chemical reaction depends on several factors: the nature of the reaction, the concentrations of the reactants, the temperature, and the presence of a possible catalyst. In this experiment we will first determine the rate law for a reaction by changing some of the above variables and measuring the rate of the reaction. During Part Two, we will explore the relation between the rate constant and temperature to discover the activation energy for this reaction. In this experiment we will study the kinetics of the reaction between iodine and acetone: O C H3C CH3 + I2(aq) H3C H+ O C CH2I + HI(aq) The rate of this reaction is found to depend on the concentration of the hydrogen ion (acid, HCl) as well as the concentrations of the reactants (acetone and iodine). The rate law for this reaction is rate = k[acetone]m[H+]n[I2]p where k is the rate constant for the reaction and m, n, and p are the orders of the reaction with respect to acetone, hydrogen ions (acid), and iodine, respectively.
