Title An investigation to show the effect of temperature on the action of an enzyme. Abstract An experiment was carried out to study how the enzyme amylase will be affected by altering temperature. It was an experiment to test the enzymes rate of reaction on the substrate starch when subjected to different temperatures. As the temperature is increased then the rate of reaction will also increase, however if the temperature is raised too high then the enzyme amylase will become denatured. During this experiment the temperature at which the enzyme became denatured was 80°c. Introduction Inside the body there are hundreds of chemical reactions taking place. These chemical reactions are controlled by enzymes so that waste products are removed and useful substances are produced at a rate beneficial to the cells. There are two kinds of reactions: anabolic and catabolic. Anabolic reactions need to have an energy input to make them work and are concerned...
