Aim: To show how the change in temperature affects the speed that an enzyme works Prediction: That the higher the temperature, the faster that the enzyme will work, until the temperature becomes too high and the enzyme starts to denature. Safety: * To wear safety goggles at all times during the experiment * To make sure that all pieces of loose clothing or hair are out of the way of fire and tied back. * To make sure that the Bunsen burner being used is always on top of a fire proof mat. Apparatus: * Test Tubes * Beaker * Heat Proof Mat * Bunsen Burner * Tripod and Gauze * Thermometer * Pipette * Clearness chart - A series of red dots that became more transparent as the number lowered. * Pepsin and a substrate Preliminary Results: Temperature (Centigrade) Clearness After: 1 Minute 2 Minutes 3 Minutes 20°C 3 2 2 30°C 5 4 3 40°C 4 3 2 These preliminary results that were taken needed to be altered for the experiment. I found that it was a lot easier to keep...
