The “Calorie.”

Introduction:

Energy is needed by the body to carry out metabolic activities necessary to sustain life. The total amount of energy that is expended by the body to poser all its processes is termed as the metabolic rate. The heat generated by these processes are utilized for thermoregulation. There are different ways of measuring the metabolic rate of the body.

Awnser these Discussion Questions Answer these discussion questions and submit them as part of your lab report. Part A: The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the temperature of the solution. How is the oxygen production in 30 seconds related to the rate of the reaction? At what temperature is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why might the enzyme activity decrease at very high temperatures? Why might a high fever be dangerous to humans? What is the optimal temperature for enzymes in the human body?
