Investigation How the concentration of Catalase Enzyme affects the rate of reaction Aim: To find out how the concentration of Catalase Enzyme will affect the enzyme activity and the rate of reaction towards Hydrogen Peroxide. (H O ) Prediction: I predict that with the higher concentration of enzyme, the likelihood of it breaking down molecules will be greater because there will be more enzymes to work at the substrate and the chances of it colliding will be higher making the activity time quicker. Equipment: * Syringe * Measuring Cylinder (×2) * Knife * Blender * Beakers (×2) * Balance * Hydrochloric Acid in a beaker * Stop clock * Potato * Water in a beaker Preliminary Experiment: In this experiment we will be using an enzyme called Catalase. By using different amounts of this enzyme we will be diluting it with water to test how the concentration of Catalase affects the rate of reaction with Hydrogen Peroxide. (H O ) Catalase is an enzyme mainly found in...
