Amish Gandhi 24.9.2001 Enzyme Reactions Introduction In lessons I am researching into enzymes and their functions, also what affects them. The basis of this investigation is to find out what affects the rate of reaction while using enzymes. In the experiment I am testing whether the concentration of the acid (hydrogen peroxide) affects the amount of reaction and if any in what way. I will conduct this experiment by testing the differences in the amount of reaction in a minute. The reaction will be made by reacting catalyse (found in potatoes, which I'll cut up), and hydrogen peroxide. To change the concentration I will dilute the hydrogen peroxide in steps using water. I will measure the amount of gas given off (measured in bubbles) in a minute. Background Information The chemical equation for this experiment is: Hydrogen peroxide catalyse water + oxygen Enzymes Enzymes are basically catalyst with their own uniqueness. Unlike other catalysts they have a very delicate structure,...
