Enzyme Lab Data

In class we we did an enzyme lab, and in our group we set up the experiment by starting with five drops of yeast and peroxide, and the slope was 0.008082 atm's. Then, our group decided to increase the number of drops to twenty and the slope increased to a 0.01439. When you increase the number of drops the slope usually increases. After we collected that data we increased the number of drops to forty five and the slope decreased to a 0.002416. It was very odd of the type of results we got because we thought that the slope would increase. After that, we tested the effects of temperature on the enzymes and we started off by testing it at room temperature and the slope was 0.00291 atm's. Then, we tested it at cold temperature and the slope increased to 0.1625. When we tested it at a hot temperature, it didn't have much of an effect on it because the slope increased a little to a 0.174. Our group thought that it would be a big increase, but it wasn't. The slope was very high on our graph of the ph level of four, which was a slope of 0.1466 atm's. The slope decreased a lot at a -0.2515 at a ph level of seven. Then, our results increased to a slope of 0.07981 at a ph level of ten.

As, I was taking a look at another group's data for there temperature graph, I noticed that there slope increased and decreased. On there graph the slope decreased when they tested it at 80 celsius. There results showed that they started testing at 25 celsius. In conclusion, the results from this lab showed how enzymes increase and decrease depending on how you set up the experiment. As, you increase the number of drops the slope usually increases, but we got odd results in our experiment when we tested forty five drops because the slope decreased. I learned a lot about how enzymes function by doing this interesting lab.
