Studying the reaction of the enzyme catalase in different temperatures
The purpose of this experiment was to measure the speed and the effectiveness of the enzyme catalase. The enzyme catalase purpose is to break down harmful substances and turn them into oxygen and water. The substance in this environment was hydrogen peroxide, and the study was to see how well the chicken liver would work if it was in a boiled environment, room temperature environment, an acid immersed environment and a basic environment.
The hypothesis for the:
Chicken Liver in Room Temperature: The hypothesis was that there will be a reaction. The chicken liver enzyme catalase only works when the liver itself is at a stable internal temperature.
Chicken Liver in a Boiled Temperature: The hypothesis was that there will not be a reaction. Due to the chicken liver being in a boiling environment, the enzyme in the liver will have already been denatured.
Chicken Liver in an Acid environment: The hypothesis was that there will be a reaction. Since the chicken …show more content…
For the boiled environment, after adding the hydrogen peroxide to the chicken liver, the time for the reaction to occur was eighteen seconds, and the final height of the bubbles was one inch. The pH was 6. For the acid immersed environment, after adding the hydrogen peroxide to the chicken liver, the time for the reaction to occur was over 30 seconds, and the final height of the bubbles was zero inches. The pH was 0. For the based immersed environment, after adding the hydrogen peroxide to the chicken liver, the time for the reaction to occur was 5 seconds, and the final height of the bubbles was one inch. The pH was 9. For the room temperature environment, after adding the hydrogen peroxide to the chicken liver, the time for the reaction to occur was 0.5 seconds, and the final height of the bubbles was 5.5 inches. The pH was
