Enzyme Activity and Temperature

Task:

To see what effect temperature has on the speed of enzyme activity.

Plan:

The equipment we are going to use in this experiment is:        Bunsen burner

                                                                2 Test tubes

                                                                Tripod

                                                                Thermometer

                                                                Glass beaker

We are going to use each of these three times as we need to do three different experiments.  

Join now!

First of all we will set up the equipment.  We will half fill the glass beaker with water, then we will put 5ml of milk into one test tube, and 5 drops of Rennin into the other.  We will then place them into the glass beaker along with the thermometer.  After that, we will place the glass beaker on the tripod and light the Bunsen burner.  We must then heat the water to the right temperature (Experiment 1: 20°C, Experiment 2: 80°C, Experiment 3: 40°C) and after about 5 minutes at the right temperature we will pour the milk ...
