Use the following graph to answer question 10 a).
10. a) The graph represents data collected from an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the small
intestine. Explain the results. (2 marks)
 At first, the rate of reaction increases because more collisions occur between
substrate and enzyme molecules to produce enzyme-substrate complexes which
makes more product. (1 mark)
 Eventually the rate of reaction will level off because the active sites are filled. (1
mark)
b) How would the shape of the graph below change if a large amount of concentrated acid were added to the enzyme-catalyzed reaction at

the enzyme, therefore no product is
produced. (1 mark)

35. An experiment was conducted to measure the effects of the presence of thyroxin and temperature on oxygen use in human tissue cells.
Two tissue samples were prepared as shown below.
Sample A: 50 grams of muscle tissue was added to a nutrient solution.
Sample B: 50 grams of muscle tissue was added to a thyroxin and nutrient solution.
Oxygen consumption was measured at various temperatures. The results are shown below.
a) Use the grid provided to graph the data in the table above. Label the x-axis as temperature.
(2 marks: 1 mark for correct scale and labels; 1 mark for plotting and lines)
b) Based on your
graph of the data
for sample B,
predict the amount
of oxygen
consumed per hour
at 20oC. (1 mark)
• 13 – 14 mL/hour
c) Explain the
difference
observed in the
results of samples
A and B. (1 mark)
• Thyroxin
increases the
consumption of
oxygen (metabolic
rate). (1 mark)
d) Explain the results for sample B at each of the following temperatures. (3 marks: 1 mark each)
15oC:
• The particles move slowly so that the metabolic rate is low resulting in little oxygen being consumed. (1 mark)
35oC:
• The temperature is near optimum for the hormone function and therefore metabolic rate is high in sample B. This leads to high oxygen
consumption. (1 mark)
55oC:
• The hormone has begun to denature so the metabolic rate slows and oxygen consumption is lower.
• The enzymes in the muscle tissue have begun to denature.
