1 Young mammals feed on milk containing protein.

Some mammals produce an enzyme called rennin. Rennin changes the protein in milk so that it
can be digested by another enzyme.

The action of rennin causes small lumps or clots to form in the milk.
Independent Outcome _
An investigation was carried out to find the effect of pH on the activity of the enzyme rennin.

Step 1 Three test-tubes were labelled P, Q and R.

Proteins are an important part of the diet. These proteins are used in the body to make enzymes
and other cell structures.

You are going to estimate the concentration of protein in two solutions, A and B, using the results
from a set of standard protein solutions.

Known concentrations of protein solution were made. Using biuret reagent, the colour intensity
score was determined at each concentration.

Step 1 Seven test-tubes were labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

Solutions containing different concentrations of protein were made using the volumes of

concentrated to most concentrated.

Step 5 2 cm3 of biuret reagent was added to the protein solution in the test-tube labelled A and
shaken gently to mix the contents.

Step 6 Step 5 was repeated for the protein solution in test-tube B.

1 Fruit juice can be produced by crushing and squeezing fresh fruit. The juice produced in this way
is often cloudy.

The enzyme pectinase is used to produce clear fruit juice. This process is called clarification.
