-We shall investigate the effects when changing the temperature on the rate of a Protease Enzyme called Trypsin on gelatine. -We will be using photographic tape which has a layer of gelatine and we will try to get this layer off so we have a layer of clear plastic left only. Prediction The four factors, which will affect the rate of reactions, are- -Temperature -Surface area -Concentration -Process of a catalyst Temperature Temperature will alter the rate of reaction. This happens because if the temperature goes to low then the molecules will slow down and there for there will be fewer collisions of enzymes and the rate of reaction will be slower. However, if the temperature is too high the enzymes will become denatured and they will slow down. If you slow down the rate of reaction or the temperature is too high then no reaction will take place. Surface Area When the surface area of the photographic film is...
