Jennifer Haselden 11G1 Mr. Griffin What factors will affect the rate of reaction of a controlled enzyme experiment? Variables which could affect my experiment are: * Amount of enzymes * Temperature * Amount of protein * Light * Sound * pH The variable I have chosen to change in my experiment is temperature. Prediction I predict that from 0ºC to 40ºC, the rate of reaction will increase as the temperature increases. As the temperature gets higher than 40ºC, I predict the rate of reaction will decrease as the temperature increases. Scientific theory for my prediction Reactions between two substances occur successfully when the particles inside the substances collide with each other and break the bonds between them. This is the case with my experiment; the particles inside protein and pepsin need to collide and break the bonds in the protein, but to do this successfully the particles need energy. At higher temperatures, particles move faster and gain more energy, therefore collisions...
