Limitations Our experiment consisted of numerous limitation and uncontrolled variables which impacted on the validity of the outcome. These limitations include: the lack of repetition resulting in possibilities of outliers‚ inadequate temperature range and limited sample size at each group. The experiment also existed two other uncontrolled variables which are the size of liver and the amount of Hydrogen Peroxide‚ hence altering the authenticity of the practical result. At each of the five experimental
