Biology Cambridge IGCSE Course – Code 0610 and 0970: Topic 5 – Enzymes

Course Description:

Welcome to our Biology Cambridge IGCSE course, meticulously tailored to help you conquer the intricacies of Topic 5: Enzymes. This comprehensive course is specifically designed for both Code 0610 and Code 0970 syllabi, ensuring you’re well-prepared for the IGCSE Biology examination.

Course Highlights:

Comprehensive Core and Supplement Objectives: Master all core and supplement objectives as outlined in the syllabus for theory (papers 1, 2, 3, 4). These objectives provide a solid foundation for exam success.
Thoroughly Explained Experiments: Gain a deep understanding of practical experiments with detailed explanations. Notes summarize the method, results, interpretation, evaluation, reliability, and conclusion, enabling you to excel in paper 6 questions.

Course Outline & Objectives (Core and Supplement):

Enzymes (Lesson 1): Key objectives include:

Describe variation as differences between individuals of the same species.
State that continuous variation results in a range of phenotypes between two extremes; examples include body length and body mass.
State that discontinuous variation results in a limited number of phenotypes with no intermediates; examples include ABO blood groups, seed shape in peas, and seed color in peas.
State that discontinuous variation is usually caused by genes only and continuous variation is caused by both genes and the environment.
Describe mutation as genetic change.
State that mutation is the way in which new alleles are formed.
State that ionizing radiation and some chemicals increase the rate of mutation.
Describe gene mutation as a random change in the base sequence of DNA.
State that mutation, meiosis, random mating, and random fertilization are sources of genetic variation in populations.

Experiment – Extracting and testing an enzyme from living cells (Lesson 2): Key objectives include:

To test the effect of high temperature on the enzyme catalase.

Experiment – The effect of temperature on enzyme reaction (Lesson 3): Key objectives include:

To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of an enzyme reaction.

Experiment – The effect of pH on enzyme reaction (Lesson 4): Key objectives include:

To investigate the effect of pH on the rate of an enzyme reaction.
