concentration of the substrate hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase. Background Information Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction. Catalase is an enzyme found in food such as potato and liver. It is used for removing Hydrogen Peroxide from the cells. Hydrogen Peroxide is the poisonous by-product

between temperature‚ and the rate of enzyme-catalase reaction. Catalase is an enzyme that reduces the amount of activation energy required to break down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‚ a by-product of oxygen metabolism‚ into water (H2O) and oxygen (O) (http://www.wisegeek.org/). This reaction is refered to as the enzyme catalyzed reaction. Hydrogen peroxide substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme stressing the bonds‚ ultimately resulting in a release of oxygen and water. An increase in temperature

of chemical reaction. To describe how the concentration of an enzyme affects its ability to work. Hypothesis: Depending on the concentration of the catalase which the disk is soaked in‚ it will have a direct correlation on the rate of hydrogen peroxide being broken down into oxygen gas. Prediction: Since the rate of reaction can be lowered by the addition of catalysis such as an enzyme. Moreover to increase the effectiveness of an enzyme one must add additional amount of enzyme due to

concentration and yeast catalase Aim: To see how the substrate concentration in hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of an enzyme controlled reaction using yeast catalase. Introduction: An enzyme is a biological catalyst made of protein. Enzymes are protein molecules found in living organisms and in this case I will use a yeast catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a poisonous by-product of metabolism‚ so it is very important that it is

factors help enzymes break down the poisonous chemicals into harmless substance. When we tested the liver with 2ml of hydrogen peroxide for a normal reaction it showed that it was exothermic. We added more hydrogen peroxide and the reaction rate of the liver was 3. We learned that the catalase is reusable because the liver reacted both times when we put in the hydrogen peroxide. We also tested another enzyme reaction for pH. In this test we learned that high pH equal high reaction rate. The 4 items

what affects the rate of reaction. We used Hydrogen peroxide to test the rate of reaction‚ with the temperature of this being our variable that we changed. Hydrogen peroxide is a clear‚ colourless liquid which has various amounts of uses within the laboratory‚ industrial purposes and even in our households. It is mainly used for cleaning products and hair dye but is also used for paper making. Hydrogen peroxide is made up of two oxygen atoms and two hydrogen atoms. The chemical formula for this is H₂O₂

break down hydrogen peroxide. In this experiment our professor extracted peroxidase from potato tissue. In order to determine how temperature affects peroxidase we created solutions and measured their absorbance levels after water bath treatments. The more absorbent the solution was the less hydrogen peroxide there was in the solution. This means the peroxidase was able to break down the hydrogen peroxide. The less absorbent the solution the harder it was for peroxidase to break down hydrogen peroxide

different variables mixed with the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and yeast‚ yeast being the catalase. The variables that will be changed are temperature‚ pH‚ and concentration. Our class began a lab based around enzymes and how they react when different variables are changed‚ such as temperature‚ pH‚ and concentration of the yeast or hydrogen peroxide. The yeast acted as the enzyme‚ which produces catalase needed for our desired reaction with the hydrogen peroxide. What had to be wanted to measure was how
