?
What is the independent variable?
The thing you alter.
1 of 9
What is the dependent variable?
The thing that you measure.
2 of 9
What is equilibration?
Placing enzyme and substrate separately in a water bath so that they reach the required temperature before the investigation begins.
3 of 9
How can temperature be kept constant?
Carry out experiment in a water bath with a thermostat.
4 of 9
How can enzyme concentration be kept constant?
If using an enzyme in living tissue, accurately measure mass.
5 of 9
How can substrate concentration be kept constant?
Use accurately measured volume or mass of substrate.
6 of 9
How can pH be kept constant?
Use pH buffers.
7 of 9
What are the two ways to measure reaction rate?
Measure the amount of product made after a fixed period of time. Measure how much substrate has been used up after a fixed period of time.
