Catalase is the enzyme that speeds up the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and breaks it down into water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide is the substrate that catalase acts upon. The reaction produces water and oxygen. Catalase is reusable as demonstrated when liver tissue reacted with more hydrogen peroxide, bubbling occurred showing the reaction was still taking place. Both temperature and pH affect the reaction rate of catalase. Higher temperatures allow the enzyme to work more efficiently while very low or high pH slows or stops the reaction from occurring.

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.
