Annabel Borham AT1 Biology Investigation An investigation into whether temperature effects the rate of reaction of enzyme catalase Aim: The aim of this experiment is to determine the effects of varying temperatures on enzyme (Catalase). In order to do this hydrogen peroxide will be heated (and cooled) to different temperatures, at each temperature the amount of oxygen given off from the catalase will be recorded. Prediction: I predict an increase in temperature will result in an increase in kinetic energy. Thus the speed of particles will increase, and they should collide more often and therefore the speed of reaction will increase. The particles will also have more energy consequently speeding up the reaction even more. At low temperatures particles of reacting substances do not have much energy. However, when the substances are heated, the particles take in energy. This causes them to move faster and collide more often. The collisions have more energy, so more of...
