The Effect of Various Factors on the Rate of an Enzyme Reaction. These experiments will use the enzyme catalase, which is found in potatoes. Catalase acts on the substrate, H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), to produce H2O and O2. The O2 is released as bubbles. Therefore, the more bubbles you see, the greater the reaction. Base your responses on the following data table: The effect of temperature on the rate of enzyme reactions Tube Pre-Treatment Temp °C Treatment Temp °C Prediction - no bubbles + some bubbling ++ strong bubbling +++ very strong bubbling Observations - no bubbles + some bubbling ++ strong bubbling +++ very strong bubbling C1 100 100 +++ - C2 25 25 ++ +++ C3 0 4 + ++ What do you conclude about the effect of temperature on enzyme activity? Don’t just say that it has an effect, say how it affects it. Based on your conclusion, do you think you might digest ice cream at a slower or faster rate than a hot soup?

Question
  1. The Effect of Various Factors on the Rate of an Enzyme Reaction. These experiments will use the enzyme catalase, which is found in potatoes. Catalase acts on the substrate, H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), to produce H2O and O2. The O2 is released as bubbles. Therefore, the more bubbles you see, the greater the reaction.

Base your responses on the following data table:
