Lab – Factors that Affect Enzymes

The video tutorial explores how temperature and pH affect enzyme activity. It includes two experiments: one using pineapple to observe temperature effects on enzymes, and another using liver to study pH effects. The tutorial provides detailed procedures, materials needed, and instructions for conducting these experiments, allowing viewers to understand the impact of environmental factors on enzyme function.

How does temperature affect the effectiveness of enzymes in breaking down proteins?

Explain the significance of using different states of pineapple (fresh, frozen, canned) in the experiment.

What materials are needed to perform the experiment on how temperature affects enzymes?

Describe the procedure for preparing the pineapple samples for the enzyme activity experiment.

What is the purpose of using a control group in the enzyme experiment?

What observations should be recorded during the enzyme activity experiments?

How do you determine the pH of the solutions used in the second part of the experiment?
