An Experiment to Investigate the Effect of the Enzyme Catalase on Hydrogen Peroxide when the Temperature is Changed. Plan: Chemical reactions take place in all living cells. All of these reactions are enzyme-driven. Some of these reactions produce by-products. One by-product is Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). It is a poison and must be removed from the cells. The cell produces an enzyme called Catalase to break down the Hydrogen Peroxide into water and oxygen. This experiment will investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of the breaking down of Hydrogen Peroxide by Catalase. I will do this by measuring how much oxygen is produced when Catalase and Hydrogen Peroxide react. I predict that as the temperature increases, the rate of the reaction will increase. I think that when the temperature is doubled, so the reaction rate will also double. This is due to the particle theory. As the temperature rises, the particles move...
