Research Variables

Directions: Answer the following questions in a brief but meaningful statements based from
your own understanding. Please don’t copy the text in this module, explain it USING YOUR
OWN WORDS.

I. Study the graph and answer the following questions below.

Effect of Temperature on the Time of Enzyme Action

TIME OF
ENZYME
ACTION (sec) TEMPERATURE (ºC)

1. What is the subject or the experimental unit in the given graph?

THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE TIME OF ENZYME ACTION

2. What is the independent variable?

THE TEMPERATURE

3. How about the dependent variable?

TIME OF ENZYME ACTION

4. Based on the graph, what variable is continuous?

THE TIME OF ENZYME ACTION

5. Your body temperature is approximately 37 ºC. Where would the enzyme work
best – in a refrigerator, in a hot spring or in your body?
THE ENZYME WILL WORK THE BEST IN OUR BODY

6. Why?
BECAUSE BASE ON THE GRAPH ABOVE ENZYMES WORKS BEST AT 36ºC
OUR BODY'S TEMPERATURE IS APPROXIMATELY 37 ºC WHICH IS
NEAREST TO 36 ºC WHILE HOTSPRING AND REFREGERATOR ARE MUCH
FARTHER OR NOT CLOSE TO 36 ºC
 7. What variable is under the interval scale?
THE VARIABLES UNDER THE INTERVAL SCALE IS THE TEMPERATURE
8. What is the prime temperature where enzyme works best?
ENZYMES WORKS THE BEST AT 36 DEGREES CELCSIUS
9-10 Explain the relationship between the temperature and the rate of
enzyme action
WHEN THE ENZYME ACTIVITY INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES AND
THE RATE OF REACTION ALSO INCREASES. THE COLDER THE TEMPERATURE THE
ACTIVITY DECREASES. ALL ENZYMES HAVE RANGES OF TEMPERATURE WHEN THEY
ARE ACTIVE . BUT SOMETIMES THERE ARE CERTAIN TEMPERATURE THEY WORKING
OPTIMALLY

II. Fill in the missing parts to complete the concept map of research

III. Identify the subject and variables in the given study then categorize them
according to type of variable used in the table.

Poultry farms conducted a research on the type of supplemental feeds which will
produce more efficient and more productive chickens. Three feed formulas were
utilized and compared. Data on the following factors were compared and recorded: size
of eggs, number of eggs produced per day, color intensity of eggs, interior egg quality
in terms of yellowness of yolk, and its life span.
