Practical 3 Enzymes and temperature
Enzyme Action • Learning objectives: • By the end of the lesson you should be able to: • Describe how temperature effects enzyme activity
Introduction Are made of protein • Enzymes _______________________ • If a little detergent is added to the hydrogen peroxide solution a foam is formed by the oxygen gas given off during the reaction. • The ___________________an indication of ____________ • The enzyme ______________ is found in all living tissue. It catalyses the reaction Catalase Water Hydrogen Peroxide Oxygen height of the foam gives Enzyme activity • Egg white contains protein molecules which are affected by temperature
Aim: • To show the influence of temperature on enzyme activity.
Method • You will be split into groups with each group carrying out the experiment at different temperatures and the results will be pooled. • 1 Label 3 test tubes A, B and C and prepare as below • Tube A - 3cm3 egg white • Tube B - 5cm3 hydrogen peroxide • Tube C - Piece of potato tissue
Set up a beaker water bath (Your teacher will tell you the temperature) and place all three tubes in the water bath. You must keep the temperature constant throughout the experiment. 6 Leave for a further 10 minutes 7 Note the appearance of tube A and measure the height of the foam above the liquid in tube C. 8 Pool the results from all groups in the table. • Leave for 10 minutes • Carefully add the hydrogen peroxide to the test tube containing the potato tissue.
