UNIT 1
MODULE 1: CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY (cont’d)

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES EXPLANATORY NOTES SUGGESTED PRACTICAL
ACTIVITIES

Enzymes (cont’d)

Students should be able to:

4.3. explain the effects of pH, Construction and Investigate the effects of
temperature, enzyme interpretation of graphs. temperature and
concentration and substrate concentration
substrate concentration on enzyme-catalysed
on enzyme action; and, reactions, and explain
these effects. For
example, use yeast and
respiration. Use of virtual
labs (see link below).

4.4. discuss the effects of Use of succinic
competitive and non- dehydrogenase, antabuse
competitive inhibitors on and organophosphates as
enzyme activity. examples of enzyme
inhibitors.

Suggested Teaching and Learning Activities

To facilitate students’ attainment of the objectives of this Module, teachers are advised to engage
students in the teaching and learning activities listed below.

1. Allow students to use laboratory exercises to reinforce concepts taught rather than as a
separate activity.

2. Encourage students to incorporate the use of online resources, such as videos, to visualise
concepts.

2. Allow students to use multimedia and 3-dimensional models to assist in conceptualising cell
and/or molecular structure.

3. Allow students to view models of macromolecules using the molecular visualisation software.

4. Allow students to use virtual labs to illustrate enzymatic activity.
