Adam Hussein 6B1 28-12-02 An experiment to investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of milk lipid digestion by lipase. Biology Coursework Plan: Aim: This investigation aims to find out how enzyme concentration affects the rate of milk fat digestion by lipase enzyme. As a result of the experiment I aim to have quantitative results which I can then use to plot graphs illustrating the effect of lipase. Prediction: I predict that as the concentration of lipase enzyme increases, so to will the rate of reaction. The two will be directly proportional to each other up to the point where the substrate (milk fat) becomes rate limiting. This is the point where there are so many enzyme molecules and not enough substrate molecules for them to catalyse. The rate will therefore remain the same past this point as shown in the below graph. Variables: These are factors that will affect the reaction in some way. In...
