Enzyme Action: Testing Catalase Activity

Extension

1. Different organisms often live in very different habitats. Design a series of experiments to investigate how different types of organisms might affect the rate of enzyme activity. Consider testing a plant, an animal, and a protist.
2. Presumably, at higher concentrations of H2O2, there is a greater chance that an enzyme molecule might collide with H2O2. If so, the concentration of H2O2 might alter the rate of oxygen production. Design a series of experiments to investigate how differing concentrations of the substrate hydrogen peroxide might affect the rate of enzyme activity.
