AS Level Biology Coursework Investigating how varying the concentration of substrate (hydrogen peroxide) affects the rate of reaction with the enzyme catalase. * Abstract of experiment I carried out the following experiment to investigate how varying the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction with catalase in the form celery. I tested the rate of reaction at 5 different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and found that the higher the concentration the faster the rate of reaction goes. The following write up explains my experiment in detail: * Aim In this experiment I want to look at how the concentration of hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction with catalase. Here hydrogen peroxide is the substrate and catalase is the enzyme. * Introduction REFERENCES: Biology 1 Advanced Sciences http://gened.emc.maricopa.edu/bio/bio181/BioBk/BioBookEnzym.html. Enzymes are protein molecules that can be called biological catalysts. A catalyst is a molecule that speeds up a chemical reaction, the catalyst will remain unchanged at the...
