Sam Daniels Biology Coursework An investigation into the effect of changing concentration of a substrate on an enzyme controlled reaction Aim My aim is to plan, investigate, analyse and evaluate the effect of varying the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the reaction with potato catalase by measuring the Volume of oxygen produced. Introduction Catalase releases oxygen from hydrogen peroxide (H202) and is used in the making of foam rubber from latex. Many kinds of enzymes are found in each cell but because they are used over and over there may be only a small amount of each enzyme present. Catalase is found in both plant and animal tissues. In animal cells, catalase is found in liver cells, as the liver is the organ responsible from removing toxic wastes from the body. Such wastes include alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. Catalase accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide (H202) into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2). The chemical equation for...
