Background Information ?â?£ There are three main types of Enzymes. These are Carbohydrases, Protease and Lipases. ?â?£ Enzymes can be used over and over again. ?â?£ If the temperature is too low the Substrate Starch has less thermal energy which means that there will be less movement, less collisions with the active site and therefore there will be less digestion. ?â?£ If the temperature is higher than optimum the active site will Denature and will become less efficient at digesting the Starch but if the temperature is too high the active site will completely...
the enzyme is used at any temperature below 37?é??C it is slowed down in its process and when heated to a temperature above 40?é??C the enzyme gets too hot and completely denatures therefore causing the enzyme not to digest the starch.

I had an Anomalous result. An anomalous result is when something happens that you can not explain, in my case this was when the diastase and the starch was cooled down to 20?é??C and instead of the diastase taking a shorter time to digest the starch than it had at 10?é??C it took a longer.
Prediction I predict that the higher the concentration of salt, the lower the mass the potato cylinder will become. This is because there is a greater concentration of water molecules inside the potato cylinder, so the water will drain from the cylinder by osmosis, to where there was a...

Trans Fatty Acids and Heart Disease Heart disease is the number one cause of death for North American men and women. In fact, each year more middle -age and older women die from cardiovascular diseasethan breast cancer. The good news is that the risk of heart disease can be greatly reduced...

Definition of Osmosis Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. Hypothesis I predict that the lower the concentration of the sugar solution in the test tube, the...

I have to plan and carry out an experiment to investigate the way in which concentration of a substrate affects the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction. I will need to carry out some background information to find out what may affect my experiment. Background Information: An...

Prediction and scientific theory: I predict that my results will show that as the concentration of Copper Sulphate CuSO4 increases so will the current passed through the circuit. Here is a small sketch on what I think may happen. I made the above prediction using the...
