A dormant avocado seed and an avocado seed in the process of germinating will each be tested, using a gas pressure. This tool will record if the peroxidase enzyme is present in either of the seeds. The seed undergoing germination will have awakened enzymes however the dormant seed will have un-hydrated enzymes. Depending on the amount of gas released from each seed will determine how much catalyst activity is going on in the seed. The independent variable is the amount of time that the seed will be tested for gas. The dependent variable is the gas pressure and how much gas is released from each seed. The peroxidase enzyme catalyzes the change form hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. It’s safe to assume that the dormant seed will not produce as much gas as the awakened seed
