Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the dependant variable in testing the effect of temperature on enzyme activity?
A
enzyme
B
rate of reaction
C
temperature
D
time
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In this investigation, the independent variable is temperature and the dependent variable is the time taken for the amylase to digest starch.

Detailed explanation-2: -The dependent variable is the rate of the reaction. The independent variable is the concentration of enzyme, the concentration of the substrate, the temperature, and the addition of an inhibitor. Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that carry out chemical reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases with an increase in the concentration of an enzyme. At low temperatures, an increase in temperature increases the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. At higher temperatures, the protein is denatured, and the rate of the reaction dramatically decreases.

Detailed explanation-4: -> The dependant variable (DV) is ‘time taken’, which may be converted to a rate of reaction by calculating the reciprocal.
