Our cells usually make toxic byproducts however they use enzymes to break them down into harmless chemicals. When an excess amount of H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) is formed in the cell during metabolism/cell respiration catalase enzymes are utilized to break down the toxic chemical into oxygen gas and water. An experiment was conducted was to see if the Ph level affected the rate of which the catalase broke down hydrogen peroxide. A hypothesis was created, which stated that if the ph was lower than the control than the rate of hydrogen peroxide decomposition would be greater. In the experiment there were three trials, a control, a high level ph, and a low level
