2(b)[4]
any four from:
biological washing powder is more effective, at lower temperatures / between 10 °C and 40 °C / 10 °C and 43 °C ; comparative data quote for the difference at a stated temperature ;
biological washing powder removes all stain between 30 °C and 40 °C ;
non-biological removes all stain only at 60 °C ;
effectiveness is similar, at high temperatures / between 50 and 60 °C ;
same trend, below 30 °C / at low temperatures / from 50 °C ;
idea of effectiveness of biological washing powder decreases between 40 °C and 44 °C, no such decrease for non- biological washing powder ;
2(c)[2]
any two from:
active site changes shape ;
substrate no longer fits into, enzyme / active site ;
no enzyme-substrate complex / no successful collisions ;
2(d)[2]
any two from:
individual people have, different / unique, DNA ;
