Suzi Bowen An investigation to show how temperature affects how fast enzymes work. Aim I want to find out how changing the temperature affects the rate of which an enzyme works. Prediction I think that as I increase the temperature, the more O2 will be formed. I think this because as I increase the temperature, there will be an increase in enzyme action because heat gives off energy, and the more heat there is, the more energy there will be, and the more kinetic energy there is, the faster the enzyme will move. With more kinetic energy, there is more chance of it colliding with the activation energy threshold, and the collision will be harder which will give the enzyme more energy to break down the 2H2O2 with. The activation energy threshold (or active site) is the bit of the reactant that the catalyse will lock together with to break it down. The minimum...
