Enzyme Action

Standard questions about enzyme activity are asked in this resource. Burgeoning biologists explain activation energy, enzyme specificity, inhibition, coenzymes, and more. This is a very neat activity, uncluttered and formatted to allow...

An informative lesson has learners read about, discuss, and study the classification, structure and importance of the following biomolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and enzymes. 

How quickly do enzymatic reactions occur? Assist the class as they examine heat and pH change to determine the rate of chemical reactions using catalase as an enzyme. Watch them "glow" with excitement!

Junior biologists examine enzyme activity through two lab activities. In the first, they add hydrogen peroxide to a piece of potato, and in the second, they attempt to change the rate of the reaction. They also mix potato juice with...

There will be no couch potatoes in your class when biologists experiment with potato enzyme activity. In this lab exercise, they will measure production by the amount of foam created. This resource has everything learners need to carry...

Teach your biology class about enzymes with this well-organized and impressive presentation. "Learning Check" and "Solution" slides are inserted throughout so that you can stop and have learners review. Why reinvent the wheel? Save...

The metaphors used here to describe the "cut and paste" procedures for genetic engineering will really help your biologists in their understanding of restriction enzymes and DNA.  The uses of genes that are isolated and incorporated into...

Students explore the properties of enzymes. In this chemical reaction lesson plan, students explore enzymes through a Web-quest and investigative study. Students will collect and summarize data and create a class presentation. This...

Dairy got you down? Your budding scientists learn what happens when lactase is broken down and what happens when it is not. The straightforward lab is easy to modify to a design-your-own or inquiry-based activity.

Students study the effects of various factors on the activity of enzymes. They perform activities using CBL laboratory to introduce students to the use of current technology to gather data to carry out investigations and employ...
