Lab Report Improvements Enzyme Reaction Rate: CATALASE and HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

MacromoleculesProtein studied here An enzyme is a TYPE of protein An enzyme speeds up chemical reactions: name for that? A Catalyst Catalase= the SPECIFIC enzyme we studied Catalyst is not the same as Catalase Yeast is NOT an Enzyme, Human is Not an Enzyme (Yeast is an Organism)

Improvements Needed Title: Should be specific to your experiment Poor Example: Enzyme Reactivity Wonderful Example: Catalase Reaction Rate with Substrate Hydrogen Peroxide

Hypothesis HYPOTHESIS in terms of the CLASS experiment: If we test a range of temperatures, then the most optimal for a high reaction rate will be… We are NOT “feeding” Yeast  that was the cellular respiration lab We are combining an enzyme (Catalase) with the substrate (hydrogen peroxide) at the active site measuring the rate of reaction at different temperatures

Data Scatterplot Data points NOT connected Trend line?

What are the scientific principles? Not just definition Enzyme: What was it in our experiment? Substrate: What was it? Describe all terms in relation to OUR experiment did not test pH
