Design one experiment to test the validity of one hypothesis. Clearly state what data you would want to collect in this experiment to test your hypothesis. Describe at least one experiment whose results support one of these scientific hypotheses. Discuss the biological importance of each of the following organic compounds in relation to cellular structure and function in plants and animals. Data from this experiment are shown below.
Enzymes are biological catalysts.
Relate the chemical structure of an enzyme to its specificity and catalytic activity. Design a quantitative experiment to investigate the influence of pH or temperature on the activity of an enzyme. Describe what information concerning the structure of an enzyme could be inferred from your experiment. Describe the various characteristics of the carbon atom that makes possible the building of a variety of biological molecules. Explain how reactions involving carbon-containing compounds can contribute to the greenhouse effect.
