Biology Coursework: Catalase Aim The aim of my investigation is to study the reaction of Catalase and Hydrogen Peroxide. I am specifically focusing on the substrate concentration and its effect on Oxygen production. Variables There are many variables that can affect the experiment, substrate concentration is one of these, it affects the amount of oxygen produced and the time taken for the enzymes to reach their operation ceiling. The enzyme we are using is Hydrogen Peroxide the more you use the higher the rate of reaction and the more oxygen is produced. It would come to a point where the reaction couldn't get any faster because the enzyme would be saturated and wouldn't be able to handle anymore, all the site would be in use. Another variable is surface area this also affects the rate of reaction and the amount of oxygen is produced. The higher the surface area, the higher the rate...
