How does temperature affect the way in which an enzyme works in Hydrogen Peroxide? Introduction. The aim of this investigation is to find out how temperature affects the speed at which the enzyme,Catalase,works best in Hydrogen Peroxide.I hope to achieve reliable results that will confirm my predictions. I predict that:- * By increasing the temperature of the Hydrogen Peroxide,the Catalase will react faster. This is because the particles have more energy so they will move and react at a faster rate. * At about 40c, the Catalase will start to deteriorate because the substrate no longer fits the enzyme making the enzyme useless. * I predict that the enzyme will work at its best at 37c because that is the human body temperature. * With temperatures lower than 40c,I will expect the rate of reaction to increase gradually as the temperature is increased because the particles will move faster because of the increase of their...
