Students investigate enzyme kinetics and the evolutionary relationship of catalase in 4 different species as they work toward understanding how natural diversity affects interactions with the environment. In the Guided Investigation, students conduct an experiment on catalase concentration and reaction rate, then they investigate the evolutionary relationship of catalase among 4 species. In the Inquiry Investigation, students design an experiment to further investigate enzymes. Kit includes enough materials for 8 groups. Note: Kit is shipped with perishable material.
Unit Connection
Unit 3: Cellular Energetics, topics 3.3: Environmental Impacts on Enzyme Function and 3.7: Fitness
