Biology Investigation Investigation I am trying to find out the relationship between surface area and the rate of oxygen produced when potato is placed in hydrogen peroxide. Introduction I will find out that if the surface area of a potato cylinder changes, will the amount of oxygen produced by the enzyme catalase be affected. Prediction I predict that as the surface area of the potato cylinder increases, the quicker the reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and potato cylinders and therefore more oxygen will be produced. One reason for more oxygen being produced as the surface area increases is that more active sites are present which increases the chances of catalase breaking down the hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Scientific Evidence to support my prediction The speed of a reaction can be affected by a few factors. One of these factors is catalase. Catalase is one type of enzyme. An enzyme is also a type of catalyst...
