Do's and Don'ts for the Enzyme Lab

* Be certain to discuss WHY no reaction takes place when the concentration of enzyme/substrate is zero (analysis section)
* Discuss 3 minute MAX if any of your trials reached that point and what that would say about your results.
* Connections/Application to Real Life, Big Ideas (all 4!!) and Inquiry/lab extension portions of lab are combined worth 50% of lab. DO NOT SKIMP ON THESE SECTIONS.
* Connections/Applications to Real Life: this section is meant to allow you to expand on the concepts of enzymes that were not tested during this lab (denaturing, enzyme/substrate complex, coenzymes, inhibitors etc) that are crucial to the complete understanding of the enzymes.
* Inquiry lab: Choose one variable to manipulate and include all parts of the experiment. (see chapter 1 and/or the worksheet on scientific experiments I gave you when you designed the water lab)

To be continued....
