IGCSE Enzymes worksheets (for Cambridge)

This selection of worksheets are designed to be used with the Mary Jones IGCSE Biology textbook as they refer to diagrams and questions in the book. However, these are only a few and so they can easily be altered to be used with other books. I will be putting a general version with added diagrams later on.

The worksheets are used to guide the students through the chapter on Enzymes and to think about what they are reading, rather than just copying out information. The questions are usually phrased in a similar way to exam questions and are in order of the text in the book, so it is simple to work their way through. The only time the answers are not available is when the question begins with the word “suggest”, here the have to use their knowledge from previous questions (and common sense) to answer them. There is also a video on the site reviewing enzymes for students (one of my earlier attempts!). The worksheets are below, each is 2 or 3 pages in length:

What are enzymes?

Enzymes and temperature

Enzymes and pH

Enzymes in seed germination

Enzymes in industry
