The Effect of Enzyme Concentration
On Enzyme Activity
Aim:
To find the effect of enzyme concentration on enzyme activity, by recording how various concentrations of enzymes alters activity. I will change concentrations by using a base solution to dilute the enzyme concentration. I then shall make a prediction and see whether I am correct or not after reviewing and analysing all my readings.
Hypothesis:
I predict, the greater the enzyme concentration, the greater the activity. The control (set at 0%) will have no activity - as my prediction suggests the greater the enzyme concentration the greater the enzyme activity. This is as the greater the concentration the greater cumulative surface area of active sites to react upon.
Apparatus:
* Beakers
* Pipette
* Standard acidified protease solution
* Gelatine jelly
* Standard laboratory glassware and equipment
* Stop clock
