Christina Macarthy, Michelle Lonnquist, Constantinos Gioulekas, Chris Bryson, and Michael Amador. In our experiment we observed the different situations of enzyme reaction to three

different temperatures. The Catechol Oxidase (enzyme) had the job of changing the

Catechol, making it go from a clear liquid to a brown liquid (the product). We expected

to see the slowest rate of change in the cold sample, a medium rate of change in the room

temperature same, and a fast rate of change in the warm sample. In the cold temperature,

we never observed a decrease in the rate of reaction (absorbency). However, by the

30-minute mark, the speed of absorbency was beginning to tapper off. In the room

temperature, although the rate of absorbency itself was greater than that of the cold

water, we observed the same situation; by the 30-minute mark, the rate of absorbency was

beginning to tapper off. However, in the warm water sample, we observed a decrease in the

rate of absorbency at the 24-minute mark. From our observations, we see that our warm

sample had the highest rate of change (0.208), the room temperature sample had the median

rate of change (0.164), and the cold sample had the lowest rate of change (0.115).
