Enzymes Investigation Aim The aim of this experiment is to find out how temperature effects the action of the enzymes. Prediction I predict that as I increase the temperature in intervals of 10 it will increase the rate reaction of the enzymes, which will increase the products produced, so more oxygen will be given off. The reason why I predict this is because of the collision theory. The collision theory states that: Chemical reactions occur when particles of the reactants collide. They must collide with a certain minimum energy, called the activation center; otherwise no reaction will take place. If low temperatures is provided to the particles (substrates) it will then only cause few of the particles to receive the minimum activation energy so they will be less collisions so they will have less end products In our substrate at low temperature very few enzymes and substrates will be join together so less products is produced because...
