The aim of the three experiments is actually to investigate the effects of different factors such as temperature, pH, and concentration of substrate, on the activity of the enzymes. By conducting these three separate experiments also, three graphs are able to be obtained where the trend of each factor affecting on the enzyme activity is shown and described clearly.
II. Hypothesis
Experiment 1 (Effect of Temperature):
As the temperature increases, the height of the bubble will increase too, indicating a faster rate of reaction.
Experiment 2 (Effect of pH):
Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. Extremely high or low pH values generally result in complete loss of activity for most enzymes.
Experiment 3 (Effect of Substrate Concentration): …show more content…
