Lab 4: Enzymes
The properties of the enzymes are investigated in these experiments. Students will explore factors that can affect enzymatic activity.
Time: 1 hour (plus 2 hours preparation time)
Concepts to explore: Enzymes, Selectivity, Catalysts, Activation energy, Activation site, Reaction sites, Activators, Inhibitors
Experiments
Experiment 1: Effect of Enzyme Concentration
• Students investigate the effects of catalase concentration on the amount of oxygen produced by yeast cells mixed with H202.
Experiment 2: Effect of temperature on Enzyme Activity
• Students study the role of temperature in enzyme function.
Experiment 3: Enzymes in Food
• Students identify foods that contain the enzyme amylase.
