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 worksheet, uncluttered and formatted to allow...

Enzymes play a role in almost every function in the human body. Scholars explore three variables related to the use of enzymes. They observe a catalase reaction, experiment with substrates, and examine reactions rates. 

The first four questions on this assignment require the use of critical thinking skills to apply the action of enzymes to different situations. Biologists then interpret enzyme activity data in a table and answer questions about it. This...

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!

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 students need to carry...

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...

Enzymes really know how to keep things moving along! Introduce these powerful proteins through a short video from an extensive life science playlist. Viewers learn why enzymes are specific in their jobs, important enzymes in our bodies,...

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

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 perform two experiments to show the properties of enzymes. They use pectinase to produce apple juice from applesauce to show enzyme action and then taste the difference between raw and boiled papaya seeds as evidence of enzyme...
