Q

Lactic acid extends life of yogurt by

A

Lowering ph below optimal for bacteria enzymes

17
Q

Cell death

18
Q

Cofactor for carbonic annydrase

19
Q

How do competitive inhibitors work

A

Bind to active sites so block them preventing substrate from entering active site. This is temporary

20
Q

Why is initial rate higher

A

Concentration of substrate is high so there’s a high chance of substrate entering the active site

21
Q

Fungal enzymes

A

Diffuse away and are extracellular

22
Q

Good improvements for validity

A

Closer temperature intervals for accurate estimates of whatever. Control group with no whatever to allow comparison

23
Q

Students T Test

A

Compares means

24
Q

Why’s 60 diff to 37, and why is 25 diff to 35

A

At 60 there’s more kinetic energy so more successful collision and thus more esc formed. The initial rate will be faster than 37 but enzymes eventually denature so less overall product formed.

At 25, the rate of reaction is slower than 37 and not all of the substrate will react

25
Rate of reaction
1/time
26
Standard deviation shows
Spread around mean. If it’s small then high repeatability
27
Why is a white background better
Easier to see colour change so less subjective
28
When concluded from a table
It can be a range
29
Colorimeter
Reduces subjectivity
30
Reproducible results are from
Specifying the volume/concentration and stirring
31
How temperature effects the two mechanism
