Finally, create two graphs, one to display data from table 1a, and the other from 2a. Graph the number of toothpicks over the time it took. Label the axis accordingly and create a legend differentiate each set of data. Calculate the reaction rate for each time interval (divide the total number of toothpicks broken by the change in time), then record and graph.
In this activity, the hand represented as the enzyme, the toothpicks as the substrate, and the fingers as the active site. As the number of unbroken toothpicks decreased, the reaction rate slowed down due to the decreased amount of toothpicks to break. The less there is to break, the slower it is, considering the amount of time remaining. When the enzyme concentration was doubled, the
