Bio Assignment

Question 1

Title

Answer 1

Type of enzyme and hydrogen peroxide investigation

Question 2

Aim

Answer 2

To investigate the effect of changing enzyme on enzyme activity( represented by height of foam0 on hydrogen peroxide)

Question 3

Enzymes are biological catalysts

Answer 3

which means enzymes speed up chemical reactions in all living cells

Question 4

An enzyme is specific to its substrate

Answer 4

This is because an enzymes active site is only complementary to one active site, meaning the substrate is the only substance whose molecules exactly fit into the active site

Question 5

Enzymes have an optimum temp of 37 degrees

Answer 5

To function effeceintly an enzyme requires suitable temprature and a suitible ph , each enzyme is found to be most active in its optimum / best conditions

Question 6

Method

Answer 6

3 measuring cylinders were set up containing hydrogen peroxide, detergent and a different enzyme. As top clock was used to keep time when finished foam produced was measured.
