Introduction In this investigation I will be trying to find out what reaction enzymes, from pig's liver, has when it is put with different Concentrations and the temperatures of hydro peroxide. Background Information: Enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up chemical reactions in all living things, and allow them to occur more easily. They are in plant cells and animal cells. Although they work powerfully, enzymes are just chemical molecules, made up of proteins. They are too small to be seen when they are inside cells or when they have been released from them. Each particular enzyme has a unique, 3-dimensional shape shared by all its molecules. Within this shape there is an area called the active site where the chemical reactions occur. Some enzymes help to break down large molecules. Others build up large molecules from small ones. While many others help turn one molecule into another. The fastest enzyme known is...
