environment [2]. Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent that can be decomposed by catalase [11]‚ the liver is able to decompose hydrogen peroxide enzymatically because it contains catalase [12]. The reaction rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction under the effect of changes in temperature was tested in this experiment. It was hypothesised that the fastest reaction rate would occur a 37 degrees Celsius. Liver and hydrogen peroxide were placed into 4 different test tubes‚ all set in different temperatures:

decided to do my experiment on chicken livers. It was interesting to do this experiment on chicken livers. The results were that since there is DNA I needed to stir the ingredients slowly and do the experiment as quickly as I can due to the fact that there are enzyme in the cells. I found out that liquid detergent is an active agent which the detergent destroy the cell membrane and also the protein. Abstract I chose to do my experiment on chicken livers to see what the results would be. The

Biology investigation: Liver and hydrogen peroxide By Cuong Tran Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the optimum temperature for enzyme activity. The stated hypothesis was that 37oC would be the optimum temperature for liver enzymes to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The dependent variable was to measure the amount of foam being produced‚ while testing 4 different temperatures with 3 repetitions each. Out of the 12 trials only 2 outliers were found

Normal liver functions include: breaking down harmful substances‚ removing waste products from the blood‚ storing nutrients and vitamins‚ and moderating chemical levels in the body. Types of liver disease include: viral hepatitis‚ autoimmune diseases (primary biliary cirrhosis)‚ genetic diseases (hemochromatosis)‚ alcoholic hepatitis‚ and non-alcoholic
