Explain how human activity can affect water availability and quality. (10) Agriculture plays a significant role in the quality of water and three factors come into play when considering agricultural effects: pesticides‚ fertilizers and the waste produced by farm animals.

The excess nutrients

Enzyme Activity How does temperature affect enzyme activity? In this practical investigation‚ my aim is to discover how temperature will affect enzyme activity‚ by looking at the rate of reaction. I predict that the higher the temperature will be‚ the faster the reactions take place. However‚ I also think that there will be an optimum temperature‚ at which the reaction will work at its fastest; if the temperature goes beyond that‚ the reactions will stop altogether as the enzymes would have
