GSCE Biology Coursework: Investigating the effects of temperature on the rate of clotting milk and Rennet Introduction The following experiment investigates the effects of different temperatures on a mixture of rennet and whole milk. On having the choice between testing the mixtures reactions at various temperatures, or testing the mixture with various amounts of concentration of rennet, my partner and I decided upon the first option. We made this decision as we felt it would be valuable to our scientific knowledge if we had a better understanding of how different temperatures can effect the behaviour of an enzyme, such as Rennin, which is also known as Chymosin. Our scientific knowledge tells us that enzymes work most efficiently at specific temperatures, and this experiment helps us to discover exactly which temperatures they are. It is important to remember that the Rennet was mixed with milk, which is perhaps one of the most...
