Activity of the Enzyme Catalase in breaking down Hydrogen Peroxide and the effect of various factors on Enzyme Activity Introduction The enzyme catalase is present in cells in order to speed the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‚ which is a toxic chemical to the human body. When hydrogen peroxide is broken down‚ the end products are Water (H2O) and Oxygen (O2). In this report‚ the reaction of catalase to hydrogen peroxide is being tested. Furthermore‚ the effects of temperature‚ concentration

I. Experiment 1 A. Description of Experiment: Three plastic beakers were used for this experiment. In one‚ a 20 mL of 1% hydrogen peroxide solution was made. In order to get this‚ the stock solution‚ which was 3%‚ was diluted using 10 mL of hydrogen peroxide and 20 mL of water. In the second beaker‚ a ¼ dilution of potato extract was made using 2 mL of potato extract and 6 mL of water. The third plastic beaker contained 8 mL of water. Using the first and second beaker the experimental assay

Grade 12 Biology (SBI 4U1) Nicole Mikulis Unit: Biochemistry Sept 14 2012 Lab: Effect of temperature and pH on catalase activity BACKGROUND Catalase is an enzyme that detoxifies chemicals that might harm the cell such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The enzyme breaks H2O2 into water and oxygen. The production of the oxygen gas bubbles serves as evidence that the catalase enzyme is working. As catalase is breaking the bonds between H2O2‚ it is releasing energy in

Period 12 Chemical Aspects of Life & Spit Lab ABSTRACT: The objective for the Spit lab was to test two different types of crackers for the presence or absence of starch and of reducing sugars. Also‚ to test the chewed cracker‚ the one that didn’t have a reducing sugar‚ for the presence or absence of a reducing sugar with the saliva in it. Adding on‚ another part of the objective is to determine the effect of amylase on starch. For the Chemical Aspects lab‚ the objectives were to test for the presence
