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 enzyme is a biological catalyst. They speed up the rate of a reaction however they are not affected themselves whilst doing this, this is why they are catalysts. Enzymes are made to be specific, this means that they can have only one substrate that they will work on. Each enzyme...
using more accurate data-loggers that would provide more accurate results, taken at every exact 30 seconds. Also a different machine could have been used to measure the exact amount of enzymes in each experiment. Also more substrate concentrations could have been used to prove the whole experiment was correct. Another thing to be done would be to do more repeats for each concentration, this would make results more accurate when finding averages. This experiment could also be done the same except changing something else each time, like the amount of celery, keeping the same concentration of the substrate.

Prediction Osmosis is defined as 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. In a high concentration of water the amount of solute e.g. sugar is low. This could be called...

Several methods may be used to prevent aeolian erosion, to increase the height and stability of existing dunes, to repair damaged dunes and to encourage sand accumulation. Where fresh sand deposits around obstructions such as grass clumps show conditions conducive to natural dune formation, plantings of native vegetation or...

Aim I am going to investigate the effect that different concentrations of sugar solution have on the amount on osmotic activity between the solution and potato chips of a given size. Scientific theory and diagrams For this particular investigation I think that the lower the concentration...

Investigation For this experiment we plan to investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato core of a given size. Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other...
