What is the main focus of the practical described in the video?
Investigating
temperature's
effect on
milk decay
View source
Why does milk sour when left at room temperature?
Bacteria
produce
acidic
molecules during
decay
View source
What enzyme is used to model decay in the experiment?
Lipase
View source
What does the indicator cresol red indicate in the experiment?
It changes color based on
acidity
View source
What color does cresol red turn in acidic conditions?
Yellow
View source
What is the purpose of sodium carbonate in the experiment?
To create an
alkaline
environment
View source
What is the independent variable in this experiment?
Temperature
View source
What is the dependent variable in this experiment?
Time taken
for milk to turn yellow
View source
Why is it important to use a clean test tube for each experiment?
To avoid triggering
reactions
prematurely
View source
How can sharing data with other groups help in the experiment?
It allows calculation of a
mean result
View source
What happens to enzyme activity at lower temperatures?
Reactions
occur slowly
View source
What is the optimum temperature for enzyme reactions?
The temperature at which reactions are
fastest
View source
What happens to enzymes at temperatures higher than the optimum?
They
denature
and may stop functioning
View source
How do decomposing microorganisms behave in warm conditions?
They work faster but not in
hot
conditions
View source
What is a common question type related to this practical?
Questions about the effect of
temperature
View source
What is the significance of the practical for triple biology students?
It is a
required
practical for their studies
View source
What is the effect of temperature on enzyme activity?
Temperature affects the speed of
reactions
View source
Why are control variables important in experiments?
To ensure
fair testing
and
accurate results
View source
How does the indicator help in observing the reaction?
It visually shows the
acidity
change
View source
What happens to enzymes when they denature?
They lose their
functional
shape
View source
How does modeling decay with lipase help in the experiment?
It
simulates
the decay process effectively
