Biology coursework Aim To determine if the increase of surface area of a potato will increase the amount of gas given off, when combined with hydro peroxide. Hypothesis For this experiment I predicted that as the surface area is increased the amount of gas given off would increase. The reason for this prediction is because as more potato is exposed to the liquid around it there is more potato to react with. If it were whole with only around 4 sides for the hydro peroxide to come into contact with there would be less of a reaction because the inside of the potato can not be reacted with the liquid around it and therefore less gas, but by cutting the potato into more parts this gives more surface area to react with and if the experiment goes to plan this hypothesis should be correct. Scientific Background An enzyme is a large protein molecule that works...
