The prediction for this experiment was: when the temperature hits 80 degrees Celsius, the catechol will be at its optimal absorbance. The alternate hypothesis tested for this following experiment was that there is a significant relationship between catechol and pH. In contrast, the null hypothesis states that there is no significant relationship between catechol and oxidase and pH. This hypothesis will be supported if the rate of catechol oxidase does not increase. The hypothesis was tested by observing the reaction time of catechol oxidase at four different …show more content…
At room temperature, the highest rate of absorbance of catechol oxidase. occurred As from Molliter concludes, the potato’s absorbency for catechol oxidases was forty degrees celsius was the optimal temperature (Molitor 2016). The data that is displayed by Figure 1.1 shows absorbance rates for the four temperatures. There was a constant peak rate at around 11 mins for all test tubes. The data concludes that eighty degrees was the optimal temperature for the enzyme catechol oxidase; the peak value was between 3.2-3.3 nanometers. The lowest reaction rate was at temperature zero degrees celsius, the peak absorbance around 0.2-0.3
