Investigation Showing Factors Effecting Enzyme Activity The chemical hydrogen peroxide can be broken down into water and oxygen using an enzyme as a catalyst. In this investigation, I aim to demonstrate the enzyme activity will be affected by different variables. Planning Enzymes are biological catalysts, which change the speed of a reaction. By braking larger molecules into smaller molecules. Enzymes have an active site, which has a specific shape depending of the type of enzyme it is, so it can only react with a specific substance. In this investigation I am going to use potato as my enzyme because it has the same substances in it at the liver has. The rate at which enzymes work, depends on the temperature. If the temperature is too low the enzymes will become inactive, this will happen because the active sight will not be able to bond with the substance. If the temperature is too high the enzymes...
