Hi, for Bio, ASAP, we need to write up an aim and a hypothesis for the following experiment and i was wondering if what i have is good / what can be changed and improved?
All help is appreciated, thanks
Each beaker is filled with 100ml of water and a 90g sachet of gelatine
Beaker 1 - Fresh pineapple and hot water
Beaker 2 - Fresh pineapple and room temp water
Beaker 3 - Canned pineapple and hot water
Beaker 4 - Canned pineapple and room temp water
Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on the enzyme, bromelain in pineapple.
Hypothesis:
At room temperature, the beakers with fresh pineapple will remain liquid, due to maximal activity of bromelain
At boiling temperature, the beakers with fresh pineapple and gelatine will solidify, due to the denaturing of bromelain
At room temperature, the beakers with canned pineapple and gelatine will become slightly gelled due to the slight effect on bromelain
At boiling temperature, the beakers with canned pineapple and gelatine will solidify, due to the denaturing of bromelain.
The fresh pineapple will be able to break down more of the gelatine with a great amount of enzymes active.
