rates without being destroyed or altered. They are able to encourage chemical reactions by decreasing the energy of activation. The main function of enzyme catalase is to convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in our bodies into oxygen and water. This can be visually seen when hydrogen peroxide is put on a wound and the peroxide bubbles. Enzymes can also be found in plant cells and fungi. (Huston.) In this experiment we test the many variables that can change the rate of this reaction such as temperature

Chemistry Lab Report (Design) Factors affecting Rates of a Reaction (Kinetics) KINETICS DESIGN LAB Research Question: Does the concentration of Potassium Iodide (KI) affect the rate of its reaction with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (of a fixed concentration)? Introduction: There are several factors that affect the rate of a reaction. Some of them being Pressure (if the reactants are Gases)‚ Temperature‚ Presence of a Catalyst‚ Surface Area of the reactant‚ and Concentration. According to

different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Prediction would be‚ that the filter paper discs that were used‚ will rise up to the surface in a time in the tube of different concentration of hydrogen peroxide. And in different concentrations the time will be different. As higher the concentration would be‚ the less time it would take for the filter paper discs to rise to the surface. 2. Experimental design. Independent variable – is the concentration of hydrogen peroxide‚ in this experiment

REVIEW SHEET‚ EXAM 3 Chapter 6‚ Nutrition and Microbial Growth Define the four major modes of nutrition in microorganisms and distinguish among them in terms of energy and carbon sources The four major modes of nutrition are: 1. Photoautotrophs: (ex. Plants‚ some protozoa‚ & alegae) -microorganism which use carbon dioxide as a carbon source and light energy from the environment to make their own food. 2. Chemoautotrophs: -microorganism which uses carbon dioxide as a carbon source and
