was exposed to, ranging from a pH of 4 to a pH of 10. One can reach the conclusion that the optimum pH level of this enzyme is a pH level of 10.Conclusions:The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects that enzyme concentration, temperature, and pH had on the rate at which enzyme catalyzed reactions took place. The results of this experiment can be summarized as follows: This enzyme like others increases the rate of chemical change with an increase of concentration. This specific enzyme has an optimum temperature around 30-35 Celsius. Finally, the enzyme has an optimum pH level of 10. However we cannot assume that the higher pH level there is the higher the reaction rate. More tests with different pH levels would have to be performed. This is the same case for the concentration of the enzyme, in order to say the enzyme functions better at a higher concentration more experiments with a higher concentration rate would have to be performed. For the time being, however it is safe to assume a steady increase in the rate of reaction with respect to an increase in concentration. A small amount of human error was included within this experiment, for example shaking (inadvertently) the test tube while gas pressure was being measured. However these errors weren’t significant enough to have influential effects on the overall results of these experiments. In conclusion, this experiment leads one to assume increasing enzyme concentration and pH continually, will increase reaction activity, and increasing the temperature will increase the reaction rate up until a certain point. ...
