AS BIOLOGY COURSEWORK Investigation into how enzymes concentration affects the rate of reaction Aim: An investigation into how enzyme concentration (catalyse in a potato) affects the rate of reaction an enzyme catalysed reaction. Theory Enzymes are biological catalysts that are composed of globular protein molecules. 'A catalyst is a molecule which speeds up a chemical reaction, but remains unchanged at the end of the reaction.' (Cambridge Biology 1 by Mary Jones.) As an enzyme is a globular protein the molecule is curled up so the non-polar R groups point away from surrounding water into the centre of the molecule. Catalase is an enzyme made up of protein molecules. A catalase speeds up a reaction from the substrate. Catalase is present in the majority of living things including carrot, liver and potato. Hydrogen has the chemical formula of H2O2. It is a colourless liquid used in rocket propellant, bleaching textiles and in the manufacture of...
