Title: The effect of concentration on the activity of catalase. Brief Introduction: This experiment will look at the effect of varying the concentration of the enzyme, catalase on its performance. Potato will be the source of catalase. Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic substance that may be formed during aerobic respiration. It must be removed from the system and catalase breaks it down into harmless substances. The equation for the reaction is: 2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2 Hypothesis: Increasing the concentration of the enzyme, catalase will increase the volume of oxygen produced per unit of time. The nature of the problem to be investigated is the factor that is effecting the rate of the reaction and what effect this factor will have on the rate of reaction when it is increased. In this investigation, the factor effecting the rate of the reaction is the concentration of the enzyme. Increasing the concentration of the enzyme, catalase will increase the...
