Does the increase in surface area of a product affect the overall rate of oxygen production/catalase reaction. Aim: To see if an increase to the surface area effects the overall rate of catalase absorption. Prediction: I predict that as the surface area increases so will the overall rate of oxygen production. This is because when a substrate (Hydrogen Peroxide) reacts with an enzyme (catalase) it is changed into a product (oxygen) (See diagram 2). The equation for this is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)= oxygen + water (O+ H2O). An enzyme works when the surface are of an enzyme is cut. The substrate enters the enzyme through the cut cell (See diagram 1). If an enzyme has a larger surface more of an enzyme is released therefore increasing the rate of oxygen production. Fair test: To make the experiment fair and useable in the future we needed to make sure we obtained valid results. There are...
