Animation – Enzyme Function and the difference between competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
Activity 1: A Quantitative Study of Catalase Activity
Procedure A: Testing the Activity of Catalase (p. 19-20)
making catalase, boiled, 4 basic tubes
Procedure B: Testing the Activity if Catalase Under Six Different Conditions (p. 21-32)
Activity 2: A Quantitative Study of Catalase Activity
Procedure C: Using a Spectrophotometer to Monitor Baseline Catalase Activity (p. 33-35)
Procedure D: Using a Spectrophotometer to Monitor the Activity of Catalase Under Six Different Environmental Conditions (p. 36-40)
For Activity C & D:
