Hypothesis Procedure Data Table Graph Conclusion 43. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, a sugar present in milk, into glucose and galactose. You know that people who cannot digest lactose can use a product that contains lactase to break down the milk sugar. You are curious about the effectiveness of these milk-treatment products. You decide to design an experiment to see the effectiveness of different amounts of the lactase product in breaking down the lactose. You do so by measuring the amount of lactose present after 5 minutes after a certain amount of lactase product was added. PROCEDURE SUMMARY: We put 100 ml of milk in 5 beakers. In beaker 1, we put 0 drops of lactase; beaker 2, 10 drops; beaker 3, 20 drops; beaker 4, 30 drops, beaker 5, 40 drops (about 1 teaspoon the recommended dosage). We then waited 5 minutes and measured the amount of glucose present in each beaker. RESULTS : The average amount of glucose present in 50 ml of milk after using different amounts of lactase product.
Amount of Lactase Product (drops) Average Amount of Glucose Present in the Milk after 5 minutes (ml). 0 0 ml 10 2 ml 20 5 ml 30 11 ml 40 18 ml 1. What is the enzyme in this experiment? What is the substrate? 2. What is the independent variable in this experiment? 3. What is the dependent variable in this experiment? 4. How are you measuring the dependent variable? 5. What are the controls? 6. Using data from the table on the previous page, to design a graph below. Be sure to include appropriate Titles, Labels, and Units!!!!
