Aim: To investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of enzyme catalysed reaction. To investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of enzyme catalysed reaction I must know all the factors that affect it in order to investigate in this. Here are all the factors: Temperature - Enzyme like it warm but not too hot. Enzymes are biological catalysts, which speed up chemical reactions. They work most efficiently at the optimum point (37?C). If they are below 37?C they will work slower. If the temperature goes over 45?C they will be denatured due to the high heat. PH - The pH affects the activity of enzymes. It depends on what solution there surrounded in. Each enzyme works most efficiently at a certain degree of acidity or alkalinity. Example - the enzymes in our stomach (protease) are surrounded by hydrochloric acid at a pH of 2 (strong acid), which is the...
