Question

D. Problem 4: The Effects of Inhibitors on Lact ase Activity Different chemicals can alter enzyme activity by either competing for the active site of an ions of the enzyme to disrupt an enzyme's three dimensional will be determining the effect of increasing concentrations of enzyme or by interacting with regi shape. In this experiment, you sugars (not lactose) to determine if they act as competitive inhibitors of Lactase. (8) After choosing a sugar to test, what i sites, what is your hypothesis regarding this sugars ablity to actively compete for lactase's active site? owledge of enzyme active a.Ho: b. Ha:

Explanation / Answer

Null Hypothesis - A hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables

Usually the reasercher will try to disapprove the Null hypothesis.

Alternate Hypothesis - A hypothesis that says there is a statistically significant relationship between the two variables

Answers

a.H0: Increasing concentration of sugars does not have competitive inhibition of lactase

b.Ha: Increasing concentration of sugars will have competitive inhibition of lactase
