Linsey Belford L5V Biology Coursework To Investigate the action of the Enzyme Catalyse Aim: The this experiment is to investigate the action of the enzyme catalase using potato and hydrogen peroxide. I am trying to find out the productive rates of the hydrogen peroxide and the potato. I am changing the surface area of the potato but I am still using the same mass to make this fair. Prediction: I predict that the larger the surface area the faster the productive rate and the more gas produced because the catalase has more active sites for the hydrogen peroxide to fit into. Catalysts are used to speed up specific reactions in cells. They are all very unique as each enzyme only performs one particular reaction. Catalase is the enzyme which I am using. It is in the cells of living organisms. It is found in potato and liver so I am using potato in my investigation....
