How Poisons Work

Product Information
This kit is designed to present two major concepts: first, the life of the cell depends upon the activity of specialized molecules called enzymes; and second, the normal function of enzymes may be disrupted by the presence of poisons.The activities explore basic aspects of enzyme activity. Students examine the specificity of enzymes in their ability to catalyze reaction. In addition, students observe the effects of factors such as pH on the rates of enzymatic reaction. After observing the normal activity of the enzymes, students consider the effect of two heavy metal poisons (lead and mercury ions) on enzyme activity and relate those effects to environmental pollution. Includes: detailed teacher’s manual and student worksheets.
