These lab explorations identified the rate of reaction and effect of substrate and enzyme concentration while observing the reactions of enzyme and substrate concentrations in different temperatures. I hypothesized that the solution with higher temperature would have a faster reaction rate. The enzyme source was the turnip extract. Guaiacol serves as the color reagent in this experiment to help absorb light. The enzymes concentrations used were 0.5 ml, 1.0 ml, and 2.0 ml of turnip extract. The substrate concentrations used were 0.1 ml, 0.2 ml, and 0.4 ml of hydrogen peroxide. The inhibitor in this experiment was hydroxylamine. The temperatures used were 4C, 23C, 37C, and 60C. The results show that the hotter the solution is the faster the
