Enzyme Action Lab Graphs

Thanks for this graph Leigh.  Well in this experiment we manipulated the number of drops in each beaker.  Each beaker had 3 mL of water and hydrogen peroxide.  Then we added the yeast drops to start the enzyme reaction.  We then hooked up the beaker to the pressure gage and took these results.  When we added ten drops to the beaker we got .85 as the rate of which pressure changed.  With twenty five drops we got an atmospheric  pressure rate of .91.  Finally with forty drops  we got an atmospheric pressure rate of 1.11.
In this graph we kept the number of drops the same but changed the temperature of the beakers. Each beaker contained 3 mL of water and hydrogen peroxide as in the experiment before. We had four different beakers at 0, 25, 38, and 80 degrees Celsius.  Then we added fifteen drops of the yeast into the beakers and recorded the data with the pressure gage.  When the yeast was put into 0 degree Celsius water we had a pressure slope of .12.  When Yeast was added to 28 degree water the pressure's slope was .16.  When the water was 38 degrees the then pressure's slope was .21.  Finally when the water was 80 degrees the pressure's slope was .13.
In this graph we took out the water and added Ph 4, 7, and 10.  We put three mL of Hydrogen peroxide in each beaker.  Then we added 3 mL of Ph 4 to one, Ph 7 to another, and Ph 10 to the last.  Again we added fifteen drops to each of the beakers and recorded the results with the pressure gage.  When the Ph level in the beaker was at 4 the slope of the pressure graph was at .17.  When the Ph was at level 7 the slope of the pressure graph was .12.  Finally when the Ph was at 10 the slope of the pressure graph was at .17.
