This enzyme can be found in any organism, its breaks down hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water in the organism, these products are very useful to all living things and the organism can make use of these things. Here is the chemical equation for what the enzyme does. HYDROGEN PEROXIDE OXYGEN +WATER H202 02 + H 20 Hydrogen peroxide is a very dangerous poison and if it could not be broken down by the enzyme Catalase then that organism would not survive. Key Factors These are the factors that could affect the results produced by the experiment, it would either show too much or too little oxygen produced. Vol- Concentration Temperature Surface area of chip Temperature of enzyme Time enzyme is exposed to Peroxide Enzymes Old/New potato I will be investigating the temperature factor and seeing how it affects the enzyme activity. I...
