AP Biology Lab: Catalase (Enzymes)
Abstract
In this laboratory exercise, studies of enzyme catalase, which accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. The laboratory was also conducted in association with a second laboratory that measured the effects of an inhibitor on the enzymes.
Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme Concentration were the conditions tested in the experiment.
Four AP Biology classes performed this experiment and the data presented in this report will reflect the averages of said classes. In the later discussion sections, it will become very obvious that human error was the deciding factor in the data collection.
Introduction
Enzymes are biological catalysts that carry out thousands of chemical reactions that occur in living cells. Generally large proteins, enzymes are made up......
