Biology Foundations — Enzymes & Photosynthesis

Biology6 experiments

Course overview

Build core understanding of how living systems capture and transform energy. Students investigate enzyme behavior under different conditions and connect cellular energetics to photosynthesis, tying variables like temperature, pH, light, and CO₂ to measurable biological rates.

Experiments in this course

  • Effect Of Temperature On Enzyme Activity
  • Effect Of Environment PH On Enzyme Activity
  • The effect of temperature on the rate of reaction of Catalase enzyme
  • Light Source and intensity effect on photosynthesis
  • CO2 In Photosynthesis
  • Anaerobic respiration in yeast
