ENZYME INQUIRY LAB Watch the PowerPoint presentation and make notes in your Journal. When finished, assemble in your lab group and begin planning your experiment. A rough overview of your experiment must be approved by your instructor, that includes: HYPOTHESIS LIST OF MATERIALS PROCEDURE

BACKGROUND INFORMATION Inside the cells of a potato is an enzyme called “catalase”. This enzyme breaks down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and produces oxygen gas and water. Potato Cells 2 H2O2 (l)  O2 (g) + 2 H2O (l) catalase

The more active the enzyme, the more oxygen (and water) it produces, and therefore rate is increased. We can use the rate of production of oxygen as a measure of enzyme activity. And we can determine the relative influence of varying different factors on enzyme activity. Enzyme Activity Oxygen Production As enzyme activity increases, so does oxygen production

(as a measure of enzyme activity) Since enzymes are proteins, enzyme activity is affected by changes in pH (measure of acidity). If the pH changes are too drastic, enzymes can become denatured and their activity is reduced or abolished. Oxygen Production pH A pH is affecting enzyme activity so that oxygen production is decreased pH B pH C (as a measure of enzyme activity)

Enzyme activity may also be adversely affected by changes in temperature. Normally, enzymes work at a particular temperature optimum and if the temperature is either too high or too low, the enzyme activity is reduced. Oxygen Production Temp 1 Temperature is affecting enzyme activity so that oxygen production is decreased Temp 2 Temp 3

Enzyme activity can also be affected by salinity (Molarity, ie Enzyme activity can also be affected by salinity (Molarity, ie. salt concentration), concentration of substrate, inhibitors, surface area, ie. larger vs smaller pieces of potato, etc. For example, if potato cells are crushed or cut into smaller pieces, this may affect how much catalase enzyme comes into contact with substrate (H2O2). H2O2 solution Potato pieces Oxygen bubbles The more bubbles, the more oxygen. Therefore, the more active the enzyme.

THE EXPERIMENT You and your lab partners will design an experimental procedure based on what you would like to study. Decide what independent variable (ie. pH, temperature, salinity, [substrate], surface area, etc.) you want to manipulate to determine its effect on enzyme activity. Your dependent variable is the rate of the reaction and you will need a number of controlled variables.

Use a minimum of 3 different changes to your independent variable (ie Use a minimum of 3 different changes to your independent variable (ie. neutral pH, acidic pH, basic pH). *Don’t forget a control! Consider the materials you will need to perform the experiment. You will have access to standard laboratory equipment including: Potatoes, scalpels, forceps Hydrogen peroxide solution Acid, base, water, etc Hot plate, thermometer Salt sol’ns (different M) Beakers, test tubes, graduated cylinders, droppers, forceps, etc A few other select items may be available Only typical lab equipment available. Any additional materials must be provided by student.

LAB FORMAT Hypothesis: Create an IF / THEN statement about your experiment. Materials: List of items. Procedure: Past tense, impersonal, numbered steps which describes experiment and includes all materials used. Observations: Record data on oxygen production in a well-designed and titled data table. Present data in a well-designed and titled (consider a computer-generated) graph.

Conclusions: Describe your independent, dependent and controlled variables. Explain how changing your independent variable influenced the enzyme activity and explain why. List and explain at least three possible experimental sources of error in this lab activity.

NOW DO THIS Assemble in your lab group and work on designing your experiment. Consider what your variables will be and what materials you need to conduct the experiment. You will only have access to typical lab materials. Feel free to look around the room on shelves and lab drawers to determine some of the items available.
