Experiment Plan Experiment: To investigate the effect of temperature on enzyme activity. The enzyme used will be catalyse. The enzyme catalyse: The enzyme catalyse is a biological enzyme. It is used to break down Hydrogen Peroxide, which is harmful. The reaction that occurs is: Hydrogen peroxide Water + Oxygen The activity of the enzyme catalyse can therefore be measured by the amount of oxygen (in the form of froth) that is produced. Prediction: The enzyme catalyse will have an optimum temperature of between 40°-45°. If the temperature rises above this temperature range or below this temperature range, the rate of enzyme activity will fall. This is because the enzyme catalyse is a protein enzyme and a biological catalyst, and the optimum temperature of most biological catalysts is between 40°C-45°C. If the temperature rises above this, the enzyme activity will slow down because the enzyme will be denatured. This means that the active site will be changed. Enzymes...
