Fourth Form P&D 1 - 2020/2021 SITUATION
Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapple which
breaks down proteins. Gelatin (jello) contains
structural proteins. When the Bromelain in pineapple
interacts with the proteins in the gelatin or Jello, the
Jello proteins are degraded and the Jello is liquified.
Plan and design an experiment to investigate the effect
of temperature on the activity of bromelain on proteins.

1. what is the relationship between the shape of an enzyme and the reactions they catalyze?

2. how does an enzyme inhibitor work?

separate your answers so i dont get confused : )

the potatoes have high sugar concentrations and although these potatoes were different we could seethe effects that their sugar concentrations had in different environments. for example, the potatoes in sample a, were placed in pure water. this created a hypertonic environment and caused the potatoes to draw in water from its surroundings. we saw the opposite happen with the potatoes in sample b when placed in the sodium chloride solution. the potatoes in this case were in a hypotonic solution and therefore lost water to their surroundings.
