Aim To investigate how temperature affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyst on its substrate hydrogen peroxide Introduction: Many chemical reactions take place within a cell. Catalysts called enzymes control the speeds that these reactions take place. Enzymes are proteins and we say that enzymes are specific. This means that each enzyme catalyses a certain chemical reaction. The enzyme amylase increases the speed at which starch reacts with water to form sugars. Liver contain the enzymes catalyze, the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide, water and oxygen. The Collision Theory is the possibility of two or more particles hitting each other during the reaction, this can be changed in four different ways; the temperature of the solution, the concentration of one of the substances, the size or surface area of the particles and if there is a catalyst involved in the reaction. The faster the collisions occur between two or more particles the faster...
