Sometimes the data we need may not be available from internal or external sources. In such cases‚ we may have to obtain data by conducting our own survey or experiment. In a survey‚ we do not exercise any control over the factors when we collect information. For example‚ if we want to collect data on the money various families spent last month on clothes‚ we will ask each of the families included in the survey how much it spent last month on clothes. Then we will record this information. A survey

Design Experiment: Enzyme Inhibitors. Research question: What is the effect of adding lead nitrate solution on the activity of amylase enzyme? Aim: To test the effect of adding nitrate solution on the activity of amylase. Background Information: Inhibitors are molecules which repress or prevent another molecule from engaging in a reaction. They are substances that attach themselves onto an enzyme and reduce or prevent the enzyme’s ability to catalyse reactions. Competitive Inhibitors are inhibitors

Trial # Guess Observation Explanation Trial 1 The dyed red water will not seep into the blue cold water. My guess was indeed correct and red water did not interfere with the blue water. Because the molecules in the blue water are much closer together because its cold and well the red water has warm/hot water and the molecules are everywhere. The molecules in the blue water are so dense that they’re making a layer so that the molecules from the red jar do not come through. Trial 2 I think
