number
2c Benedict’s test 1
blue Benedict’s solution turns brick red 1
on heating 1
if sugar such as glucose is present 1
3a award marks for well-drawn graph with points correctly plotted and axes 4
correctly labelled
3b reaction speeds up with increase in temperature 1
as temperature increases particles move faster and with more energy 1
so more likely to collide and react 1
3c award marks for well-drawn graph with points correctly plotted and axes 4
correctly labelled
3d catalase 1
3e rate of reaction increases up to about 40 °C 1
before decreasing and eventually stopping 1
3f reaction catalysed by manganese(IV) oxide is a chemical reaction 1
and is not adversely affected by temperature 1
enzyme-catalysed reaction has optimum temperature 1
beyond which enzyme is denatured, shape of active site is lost, and 1
reaction can no longer be catalysed
3g carry out test at temperatures around 40 °C to determine at which 1
temperature breakdown is fastest
4a temperature 1
concentration of enzyme or substrate 1

4b any one from: 1 Credit other sensible suggestions.
 test enzyme activity at shorter intervals (more frequently)
 test enzymes at same temperature.
4c enzyme A works best in slightly alkali environment (pH 8), 1
as this is when maximum activity (32 au) is recorded 1
enzyme B works best in acid environment (pH 2 or lower) 1
as this is when maximum activity (26 au) is recorded 1
4d A = trypsin 1
works best in slightly alkaline pH 1
small intestine is alkaline due to alkaline bile that neutralises the acid 1
stomach contents
B = pepsin 1
works best in acid pH 1
stomach produces hydrochloric acid and has acid pH (pH 2) 1
