In an experiment, the effec6 keho/7-/2 bqqgvrw nt of increasing temperature on the effi00jeww0u7o : r bgqi(hciency of lactase activity is tes0r h(j uowg 7qb:00wieted. Which is an appropriate dependent variable for this experiment?
A. Change in temperature
B. Variation in pH
C. Change in lactase concentration
D. Rate of glucose production
参考答案: D
本题详细解析:
The lactase enzyme hydrolyzes the disaccharide lactose int 0jr(2yqsg1 ;:sgd hmpo the monosaccharides glucose and galactose. So, an appropriate dependent variable for the experiment is the rate at which one of these products is formed. Therefore, the rate of formation of glucose is an appropriate dependent variable for this experiment.
The change in temperature (Choice A) is the independent variable (the variable being tested) and so is not an appropriate dependent variable. pH (Choice B) does not change when lactose is broken down into glucose and galactose, so it would not indi p0sg: h12 yjdgr;s(qmcate the activity of the enzyme. An enzyme is not consumed in a reaction, so there will be no change in lactase concentration (Choice C).
