An Investigation into the Effect of Temperature on an Enzyme Catalysed Reaction. The aim of our investigation is to show how various temperatures affects the rate at which oxygen and water are produced in the catalysed reaction of Hydrogen Peroxide. The catalyst we are going to use is found naturally occurring in potato. Background Information: Enzymes can be divided into two main groups, intracellular and extracellular. Intracellular are found inside the cell, from where the control metabolism. These cells will also produce the extracellular cells, but these achieve their affect outside the cell. These include digestive enzymes that break down food in the gut. An enzyme is named by adding the suffix - ASE to the substrate, which it acts upon. Hydrolase's catalyse the hydrolysis of a substrate by the addition of a water molecule. Oxoreductases are involved with redox reactions. Transferases transfer a group of atoms from one molecule to another, and so on. Enzymes...
