Prediction I predict that the more catalase used will speed up the reaction rate between the catalase and hydrogen peroxide. On a graph, as the concentration of catalase is increased the rate of reaction will increase forming a series of positively correlated lines, increasing in gradient as the catalase concentration increases. Also, as the surface area increases (as each sample increases in concentration its surface area will increase) the reaction rate should increase. On a graph, the rate of reaction will be directly proportional to the surface are of each catalase sample, producing a positively correlated scatter graph with a line of best fit. The particular enzymes in question are breaking enzymes and they will engulf the substrate and separate it into smaller pieces and release it. The enzymes will not die or be used up and will continue working until all the substrate is reacted with. Scientific Background Information An...
