An experiment to investigate the Effect of Temperature on the Action of the Enzyme Lipase Introduction In this experiment I will be investigating how temperature affects the rate of reaction of enzymes (lipase) on substrates (fats). This investigation will allow me to gain a greater knowledge of enzymes and how they work. In this experiment I will only be investigating one factor that affects the action of enzymes. The other factors that might affect the action are the concentration of the enzyme and the concentration of the substrate. According to how concentrated the enzyme or substrate is, it will affect the rate of reaction as a higher concentration of enzymes may make the rate of reaction quicker. (Although we have to take into account the ratio between enzymes and the substrate, as having a too high concentration of the substrate may not affect the rate of reaction). Also if there is...
