Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
Biology · Secondary 3 · Medium · Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
Catalase is an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. A student keeps the volume and concentration of hydrogen peroxide constant, but uses potato extracts with different catalase concentrations. Which change would correctly increase the rate of reaction?
- Use a more concentrated catalase solution with the same volume of hydrogen peroxide.
- Use a larger volume of hydrogen peroxide with the same catalase concentration.
- Lower the temperature while keeping catalase concentration the same.
- Dilute the hydrogen peroxide while keeping catalase concentration the same.
