Investigating the effect of temperature on the rate of digestion of gelatin by pepsin Aim: To find out what effect different temperatures have on enzymes. To do this, I have planned an experiment with pepsin (which contains enzymes) to see how it breaks down gelatin(such as the ones found on photographic film), at a variety of different temperatures. Plan: I am going to: § Design and set up an experiment that will effectively monitor the results § Measure and evaluate the results, using graphs § To help me predict what will happen, I am going to read books and gather research into the subject of enzymes. Apparatus § 5 photographic strips (Gelatin), each measuring 0.5cm x 35 mm § 5ml protease (Pepsin) § Test tubes § Water bath § Thermometer § Stopwatch/timer Predictions I think that as the temperature increases, so will the enzyme's rate of reaction, but I think when it gets to a certain temperature, the enzymes will begin to...
