Temperature & Enzyme Activity

Go beyond the standard textbooks and take learning to the next level. Complete virtual experiments, consider exploratory scenarios, make predictions and conclusions—learn science in a whole new way.

In a virtual laboratory setup, you’ll experiment with potato extracts and the enzyme amylase to observe the effect that temperature has on enzyme activity. Then learn about the benefits of a fever in fighting infection but also the dangers of high body temperatures.

• Discover how temperature affects enzyme activity.
• Conduct an experiment on the effect of temperature on enzymes.
• Gather data to test your hypothesis.
• Identify the optimal temperature range for enzyme activity using a graph.
• Learn how a fever due to infection can denature enzymes.
