An investigation to what the effect of substrate concentration will have on the activity of the enzyme catalase Introduction The aim of this investigation is to find out if changing the substrate concentration will have any effect on the activity of the enzyme activity. Enzymes are a very important for all living things. This is because they are essential to life as they are used in virtually every metabolic reaction. They are designed to work within a temperature range of 5-40°C, they do this as if it was any higher it would damage living cells. We call an enzyme a Biological Catalyst. A catalyst is a molecule which speeds up a reaction. They are very important as if they were not there reactions in cells would be to slow to support life. They speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy needed in the reaction. The activation energy is the energy needed to get a...
