The Affect of Substrate Concentration on the Rate of Reaction of the Enzyme Catalase. Plan The aim of this investigation is to discover how the concentration of the substrate hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction with the enzyme catalse. I predict that the higher the concentration of substrate become, the faster the rate of the catalase reaction will be. I believe this because if there are more substrate molecules present with the catalse enzymes then more collisions between the two will occur. This collision theory will cause an increase in the number of hydrogen peroxide molecules that are broken down into water and oxygen by the catalase enzyme, compared to if the concentration of substrate was smaller. To discover the rates at which the catalase enzyme will break down hydrogen peroxide at different concentrations of the substrate, a solution of hydrogen peroxide and this slices of liver will be placed into a test...
