Assessed Practical Name: Behrooz Khoshooee Student Number: 283644 Biology, December 2005 Title: An investigation into the effect of temperature on the activity of enzyme catalase. Introduction: We will try to demonstrate the effect of temperature on the activity of enzyme catalase and how this would affect the rate of activity. Hypothesis: Increasing temperature would increase the active energy in molecules and it would increases the rate of reaction. However too high or too low temperature would denature the enzyme and resulting in lowering rate of reaction and maybe no reaction at all. Methods: Filled 15 test tubes with 5 cm depth of hydrogen peroxide. Used ice bath to take these tubes to the required temperature under the room temperature. Boiled a beaker of water and used it as water-bath to achieve the required temperature more than the room temperature. These temperature were 1, 10, 29 (Room temperature), 45 and 60. Filled another test tube with water which it will be used...
