AGENDA:

- Objectives: (1) Correctly describe the basic composition and essential function of all enzymes with no major factual errors; (2) Investigate the function of an enzyme under various conditions (temperature, pH, concentration) and graph the results with no major errors

- Warm-up: What are enzymes (structurally speaking) and what specifically can/do they do? How do they basically work? [5]

- Review enzymes notes [10]

- Toothpickase Enzyme Simulation activity write-up and submit ASAP—due today

- Laboratory experiment: Environmental Factors Affecting Peroxidase Enzyme Function [45]


OUTSIDE OF CLASS:

- Work on your Ecology Service Learning Project
