in size and because of that‚ they can’t be removed from the ocean. In recent studies‚ researchers discovered that Zooplankton are able to digest these (“Plankton”). Normally‚ when they defecate‚ without digesting the plastic‚ they travel to the bottom of the ocean floor and build up to strengthen the nutrients on the bottom floor. However‚ when Zooplankton digest plastic‚ since it’s less dense than what they normally eat‚ it takes longer time to travel so the feces will most likely be caught by a fish

An experiment to investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction of the Enzyme Trypsin. Aim: This investigation was on the effect temperature has on the rate that the enzyme trypsin hydrolyses its substrate‚ a protein found in milk (casein). This investigation was conducted under controlled conditions‚ the temperature being the changeable variable. Trypsin and its substrate (powdered milk which is a source of the protein casein) were heated in a water bath. The contents of the two

The Effect Of Enzyme Concentration On Enzyme Activity The pancreatic duct in individuals who have cystic fibrosis frequently becomes blocked‚ reducing or preventing the release of pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine. The aim of this activity is to investigate the effect of a reduction in enzyme concentration on the rate of reaction‚ in this case the breakdown of protein by protease enzymes.
