AnswerALL questions in this section'

write your answers in the spaces provided in this booklet.

1. (a) Students investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction of the enzyme, catalase.
They use crushed potato as the source of the enzyme and place 5 mg into each of 7 test
tubes. They add 3 cm3 of l%o hydrogen peroxide to each test tube andoC, place them into
water-baths kept at the following temperatures: 0 "C, l0 "C,20
oC, 30 40 oC, 50 "C
and 60 .C. They count the number of bubbles released per minute from each test tube
and record the data in Table l.

SECTION A

Answer ALL questions in this section.

1. (a) Scientists, interested in studying the survival of organisms living at high temperatures,
identify some microorganisms living in a desert habitat where the average daily temperatures
exceed 50 oC. They extract an enzyme, protease, that facilitates the digestion of proteins
from these organisms, and investigate the effect of temperature on the action of this enzyme.

(i) State TWO precautions that they should take in carrying out this experiment.
