Most organisms are active in a limited temperature range 1. identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates Enzymes are proteins which act as catalysts in living things (they lower the amount of energy needed for a reaction‚ therefore increasing rate of reaction). Enzymes speed up reactions but are not used up by them. Enzymes catalyze only one

Prokaryotic cells usually only have one chromosomes when Eukaryotic cell have more than one. Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria but Prokaryotic cells do not. Prokaryotic cells are usually unicellular and Eukaryotic cells are usually multicellular. Also Eukaryotic cells are larger than Prokaryotic cells. Both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cell have vacuoles

Biology- Change in pH Aim: To investigate the affect that change in pH levels has on a particular enzyme‚ in this case amylase. Hypothesis: In this investigation I expect as the pH reaches the optimum level‚ the rate of reaction will be fastest‚ compared to other pH levels. It is also suspected that after the enzyme has reached optimum level the enzyme activity will decrease. Through further study of the optimum level of amylase I found that the enzyme usually has an optima pH of 8. It is known
