Biology Enzymes IA Design Introduction: Enzymes are globular proteins‚ they are responsible for most of the chemical activities of a living organism. They act as catalysts‚ substances that affects the reaction of other substances without being destroyed or altered during the process. They are extremely efficient in the body system of living organisms‚ one enzyme may catalyse over a thousand chemical reactions every second. But there are certain conditions that need to be fulfilled in order for the

Sarah Clay Internal Assessment Design Question: Does the caffeine in Coca-Cola affect blood pressure? Hypothesis: The amount of caffeine in Coca-Cola will cause to the adrenal glands‚ located on the top of the kidneys‚ to release more adrenaline which will in turn cause an increase in blood pressure. As the amount of Coca-Cola decreases‚ so will the difference between initial blood pressure and blood pressure after the consumption of the caffeine. Variables: Independent Variables | Dependent

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis? Does the amount of light intensity increase the rate of photosynthesis in a pondweed? Design aspect 1 Introduction My investigation will be centered on measuring the rate of photosynthesis and whether or not light intensity will affect it. The formula of photosynthesis is Carbon dioxide + water oxygen + glucose with the arrow referring to light energy as a means to convert the CO2 and H2O into oxygen and glucose. Logically‚ one would

Design IA Research Question How Does Increasing the Intensity of Exercise Affect Respiratory Rate? Hypothesis My experiment will involve sprinting which is a very demanding and fatiguing sport. In order to increase the intensity of it‚ I will be increasing the weight the subject has to carry as he sprints. My hypothesis is that as you increase the weight‚ the respiratory rate will also increase. At rest‚ the average breathing rate for adults is 12-24 breaths per minute and for new born babies

summarized by the equation: . Enzymes play a very significant part in respiration. During the different stages of respiration‚ enzymes that are often found in the matrix of the mitochondria are used to speed up reactions in the body by reducing a reaction’s activation energy‚ which means that less energy is required to start a reaction. Enzymes need to collide with their respective substrates in order to generate a reaction‚ increasing the temperature will give the enzymes and their substrates more energy
