Biology Coursework Aim To see how the concentration of hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction with catalase Background Information Catalase is an enzyme found in all living cells in the body. They perform certain reactions inside the cells and act as a catalyst. When hydrogen peroxide builds up inside cells as oxygen diffuses into the cell, catalase is a catalyst to break down the hydrogen peroxide so water and oxygen is produced. My investigation is to find out if the molarities of the reactants affect the rate of the reaction. During these experiments we will use hydrogen peroxide and we shall make catalase beads as shown in the diagram. We made the beads before hand for our preliminary work and method for using to react with the hydrogen peroxide. These beads were made by mixing 7ml of catalase in sodium alginate. Sodium alginate is a gel like substance and is one of the forms...
