An experiment to investigate how a substrate affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase In this experiment I will be investigating the following reaction: This experiment uses hydrogen peroxide as the substrate and potato chips as the enzyme. Potato contains the enzyme catalase and I will be investigating how the rate of reaction is affected when hydrogen peroxide is put together with the potato (catalase). To begin this experiment I will find out the factors that affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme Catalase when put in with hydrogen peroxide. I will then choose one of these. This will be the variable that I will change during the experiment and therefore vary the rate of reaction. The factors that would affect the rate of reaction are as follows: * Temperature of the substrate, hydrogen peroxide: The temperature at which the experiment is conducted will affect the speed at which the reaction happens....
