December 9 2016 How do Substances react to cow liver?
Research Question:
How does Liver react when it’s submerged with different liquids ?
Background Information:
Enzymes are catalysts for chemical reactions in living things, they help the body speed up the rate of virtually all of the chemical reactions that take place within cells.They are very important, enzymes are biological catalysts. Enzymes don’t need a lot of energy to start a chemical reaction, it all depends on the body's temperature. Enzymes need catalysts, catalyst is a substance that decreases the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction. Enzymes are very important for the human body, they are …show more content…
1g: there was a bigger reaction than the 0.5g, the liver dissolved a little bit and the test tube got warmer and the color changed to yellow.
2g: the bigger piece had the biggest reaction, there was a lot of gas in the test tube, the stopper popped out of the test tube and the test tube was very warm, the liver bubbled a lot and fizzed a lot. Processed Data:

The oxygen becomes the gas and the water becomes the foam. Unlike the cow liver that was dropped into water, it did not react. The enzyme catalase was not activated to break anything down thus having no change on the cow liver.
Conclusion:
Based on the evidence stated above, the hypothesis is supported because the hydrogen peroxide ended up breaking down the cow liver emitting gas and foam. There was no reaction with H2O because no enzyme was activated. Evaluation:
Error
Effect on the data
Improvements (How to eliminate this error) We were confused about logger pro at first and how to use it none Read and watch the video more carefully.
