Biology Coursework Adam Clayton In my coursework experiment, I am going to investigate the amount of oxygen produced when a source of catalase enzyme is added to hydrogen peroxide, H O . In my experiment, I am going to focus on how the concentration of the peroxide affects the rate of reaction i.e. the concentration goes up, the rate of reaction increases. The catalyst is one, which makes the peroxide decompose into water and oxygen. An enzyme is a biological catalyst. They speed up the rate of a reaction however they are not affected themselves whilst doing this, this is why they are catalysts. Each enzyme has an active site. Enzymes all work best at an optimum temperature that is usually body temperature at 37C. If the temperature that the enzyme has to work at gets too high, normally 40C it will start to become denatured and therefore no...
