Title:

The effect of enzyme concentrations on the reaction time of Urease active meal.

Aim:

My aim of this investigation is to investigate the effect of enzyme Urease concentrations on reaction time. Urease is the enzyme used to breakdown urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia.

I have chosen to carry out this investigation because there are many different areas of biology linked with this investigation that are of interest to me. In addition, enzymes are one of the most important and fascinating molecules found in the body and I would enjoy learning more about the fascinating compound for my own pleasure.

Introduction:

Enzymes are biological organic catalysts. They are specialised globular proteins with a complete tertiary structure that give it the property of being specific for one biochemical reaction that takes place inside every living cell. Many reactions that take place inside living organisms are very slow without the presence of an enzyme. Enzymes act as biological catalysts that allow reactions to take place rapidly in conditions that are found inside living cells without being chemically used up or changed themselves. Each different type of enzyme has a unique three-dimensional
