Data Analysis Questions

1) Describe the relationship between catalase and hydrogen peroxide. Indicate


which the enzyme is and which the substrate is and what occurs during the
reaction, it may be helpful to write the equation.
The relationship between catalase and hydrogen peroxide is that Catalase is
the enzyme and Hydrogen Peroxide is the substrate. Catalase speeds up the
rate of the hydrogen peroxide and it allows it to work at a faster rate than the
usual.
2) Is the catalase reusable? Use your Data to support your answer.
Catalase is reusable because in Part A of the experiment, when the Hydrogen
Peroxide was added to the liver left in the first test tube, it immediately
began to bubble. This is a sign that the liver reacted with the HO
3) How does temperature and pH affect the reaction rate of catalase?
Temperature affects the rate of reaction of a catalase because enzymes dont
work as efficient in a cold environment as they do in warmer environments.
This is because they work at a normal rate when in a normal room
temperature rate. The colder it gets the slower the enzyme will work. pH
affects the reaction of the catalase by having a rate level of 0 in an acid
environment. This happens because body holds acidic substances therefore
they work a normal rate in acidic environments. The more basic the
environment is the faster the enzyme will work.
