THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE ENZYME CATALASE PLAN AIM My input variable for this investigation is the temperature of the hydrogen peroxide solution. My output variable will be the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase in the potato, i.e. the amount of oxygen given off. I will investigate how the rate of reaction of catalase varies as its temperature is varied. This will be shown by the amount of oxygen given off within a certain time. PREDICTION I predict that as you increase the temperature of the enzyme catalase the amount of oxygen given off will increase (i.e. the rate of reaction of catalase will increase). This is because catalase speeds up the chemical reaction H202 - - - -H20+02. Therefore, as you increase the temperature, catalase will gain more and more activation energy and so the speed of reaction will increase. As the temperature of catalase is increased by 10?C I predict...
