I'm a ninth grader and I would appreciate some help.
This test would involve Hydrogen Peroxide.
1. If we put in a 'pea-sized' amount of liver, potato, chicken, and apple,
to their respective test tubes, how 'fast' would their reactions be?
Assigning a numerical value from 0-5 with 5 being the fastest, how would
one assign a number?
Example:
Liver 4
Potato X
Chicken Y
APPLE Z
2. At what temperature do enzymes catalyze most efficiently?
37 C?
Using the same numerical system, how would one assign the rate of enzyme
activity in:
a) O degrees Centigrade
b) 22 (room temperature)
c) 37 (Body temp.)
d) 100 (Boiling)
3. At what pH do enzyme work the most efficiently?
a) 3
b) 10
c) 7
Also, using the same numerical system, how would one assign the values for
the rate of enzyme activity in the respective pH?
I appreciate your responses. Thanks you.
