Question

can someone review my conclusion any suggestions are well appeciated thanks

Answer 1

I'll take a look!

Answer 2

As you did, the conclusion is a place to review experimental error and comment on what you could do next time, so nice job!

In terms of grammar and spelling, I suggest you proofread once more...there are a few minor errors.

I am uncertain what your teacher requires, but typically when writing conclusions, the passive voice is used...authors tend to refrain from the usage of the first person.

You can also comment on why you think temperature and enzymatic activity are related. You saw that at cold temperatures, catalase was inefficient; the same occurred at boiling temperatures. The conclusion may be a place for you to offer an explanation of your observations...though that sometimes goes in the Discussion part of your lab, as well.

Answer 3

You have a few typos, near the end of the first paragraph you use the same sentence twice. I've always taught to not use "I" in scientific writing, but if your instructor doesn't mind then, that's fine.

Answer 4

thanks can you explain the part where @kma230 say coment on how temperature and enzymatic activity are related

Answer 5

The structure of an enzyme is absolutely essential to its function, right? Catalase has a specific shape that lets it break down H2O2. Change that shape, and H2O2 breakdown is no longer catalyzed.

What can change that shape? You've answered that question in your lab :P

Answer 6

the shape of the potato doesn't change i can't see the enzyme catalase

Answer 7

Hm have you learned about enzyme denaturation in class yet?

Answer 8

yes i have

Answer 9

Can you tie that concept in to what occurred here?

Answer 10

Consider: what denatures an enzyme? One factor, for example, is a big change in the acidity of the surrounding solution, which interferes with the bonds holding the enzyme's shape together.

Answer 11

yes when the optimum temperature was passed the reaction stopped bubbling

Answer 12

Right - because it was too hot, the bonds holding the enzymes shape together were overhwlemed....loss of shape = loss of function. Does that make sense?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

thanks for the help

Answer 15

Best of luck with the report! :)
