How Temperature affects a Trypsin reaction on Milk Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of temperature on an enzyme reaction. Prediction: I think as the temperature increases the rate of reaction will also increase. But if the temperature goes outside the enzymes optimum level of reaction the active cell will start to become denatured so the rate of reaction will slow down (decrease). Explanation of Prediction and Research: An Enzyme is any one of many specialised organic substances that act as catalysts to increase the speed of lots of chemical reactions, involved in the metabolism of living organisms. Enzymes are composed of polymers of amino acids. Enzymes are classified into lots of different categories depending on the type of reaction that they can control. Hydrolytic enzymes speed up reactions in which a substance is broken down into simpler compounds through reaction with water molecules. Oxidising enzymes speed up oxidation reactions;...
