Enzyme Activity Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to test the effects of different sugar types with pH and temperatures. We are testing to see if there is a difference in reaction and reaction time when placed into different temperature and pH. We are looking for changes in color, solidity, reaction time, etc. My hypothesis is that at different temperatures and amounts of pH, there will we different reactions. Introduction: The overview of these …showed first 75 words of 673 total…

…showed last 75 words of 673 total…because there was no reaction with the addition of water. Overall we see that the enzymes we used require optimal conditions for the best reaction.
