However, in my next preliminary experiment, I decided this would be unfair in the main procedure.
If my replicates had not been so close, I would have had to change the tube. Effect of hydrogen
peroxide concentration on the rate of? In my first preliminary experiment, I weighed 1.0g of yeast as
it was supplied in its granule form. This is because, at higher temperatures, molecules of both enzyme
and substrate have more kinetic energy and collide more often. The radicals can attack DNA and
proteins and membrane lipids, to kill cells. Catalase And Hydrogen Peroxide Experiment Coursework
Synonyms. They were all left for exactly 5 minutes, and then were removed. This could have
affected my results for several reasons. Ensure Consistent Surface Area of Yeast Granules Another
factor which I had to consider was the surface area of the yeast granules. This is called the maximum
velocity of the reaction or Vmax. However, I do have to take into account that I will be using
different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide in my main experiment, so 5 seconds may not be
sufficient to measure the volume of oxygen produced in the slower reactions, and I may need to
change this. Although I could have used a smaller measuring cylinder, I decided that the best
possible way I could do the experiment was by measuring the volume of gas directly using a gas
syringe rather than by the displacement of water. The 2 ice test tubes were placed in a beaker filled
with ice, while the 2 room temperature test tubes were left out. Do this first to ensure that the
mixtures have enough time to reach a constant temperature instead of putting them in for a short
time. The catalase enzyme in yeast and other materials, such as potato and liver, speeds up the
reaction greatly. Control Temperature With a Water Bath In the main procedure, I will control the
temperature with a water bath in order to create a constant external temperature and dissipate the
heat energy. They were all placed back in the test tube rack, and then the level of froth in the tubes
was measured using the ruler. This is because at higher concentrations there are more molecules of
substrate, so more collisions take place, resulting in more enzyme-substrate complexes being formed.
IB Biology on decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide by? By sharing this link, I acknowledge that I
have read and understand. Nov 2011 Class practical or demonstration Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is
a by-product Cells make the enzyme catalase to remove hydrogen peroxide A collection of
experiments that demonstrate biological concepts and processes. Comments kerrie watret on January
30, 2020: outstanding piece of biology. Jun 2008 This is an experiment to examine how the
concentration of the substrate hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase.
This is because the molecules of both substrate and enzyme have more energy. The reason living
things contain catalase is because living things produce hydrogen peroxide naturally all the time,
through the chemical reactions happening in them. Also, in discussing your results, in the discussion
sectionyou will also need to do some research to explain the effect of thevarious conditions have on
catalase activity. Push the plunger on the syringe and immediately start the stopclock. Nov 2013 In
this cool catalase and hydrogen peroxide experiment, kids put a potato in a jar of hydrogen peroxide
to see how catalase acts as an enzyme. White patches on skin will disappear after a day or two but
might prickle for a while.
On demand, it mixes the hydrogen peroxide and catalase to make pressurized oxygen and water hot
gases. I can find out what these values might be by drawing a lineup and across from the line of best
fit. This will result in a decreased volume of oxygen being produced as one of the by-products of
this reaction. This would have made it possible for us to find the optimum level of catalase activity
more accurately and gauge it more finely. Cells make the enzyme catalase to remove hydrogen
peroxide. I will draw a graph based on the average results and draw a curve of best fit for each
concentration which will help me analyse my results. Analysis From the graph, I can see that as the
concentration of hydrogen peroxide decreased, the volume of oxygen produced decreased as a
direct result. However, I do not believe the substrate concentrations were significantly different
because my repeats were mostly concordant, so a similar amount of oxygen was produced which
must mean that there was a similar number of substrate molecules in each concentration. Catalase
and hydrogen peroxide experiment coursework - Aneas. This would result in a greater probability of
successful collisions and, therefore, more enzyme-substrate complexes being produced. Hence, there
is a chemical need to remove hydrogen peroxide in a very rapid rate In order to avoid this toxicity,
the enzyme Catalase is present in sufficient. Top job Agash Praba on June 19, 2014: This is the very
good the piece of the work but i think the conclusion could be the better man so the marks could the
be the highest. tanks. biochemi on January 19, 2014: Nice hub with great information about enzyme
kinetics. However, some oxygen was displaced in the gas syringe, and I had to solve this by
subtracting this small amount from the volumes produced in each of the reactions. Collating and
comparing class results allows students to look for anomalous and inconsistent data. A larger surface
area means there are more molecules being exposed to collisions with other molecules, with sufficient
energy to cause a reaction. In the 60% concentration, the repeats at 5 seconds were 20cm 3, 21cm 3
and 20cm 3, which is concordant. There will be no formation of gas bubbles if a test organism lacks
catalase. Catalase and hydrogen peroxide experiment coursework. This is called the maximum
velocity of the reaction or Vmax. The name of the enzyme is catalase (KAT-uh-LAYSS); it speeds up
a reaction This reaction is important to cells because hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is produced as a
byproduct of many normal cellular reactions Experiment Summary. If I hadn’t, I could have risked
further diluting the solutions. Another good way of developing this experiment would be to have the
temperatures used closer together, e. This may have been why the difference in the final volume of
oxygen produced was not equal but instead decreased in steps of 3.7cm 3, 9.6cm 3, 14.4cm 3, 4.6cm
3, and 7.7cm 3. Concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide The different concentrations of hydrogen
peroxide that I made could not have been exactly accurate because this would have meant that the
volume of gas evolved would have increased in equal steps, which it did not. This would have
affected the number of molecules of hydrogen peroxide present, which in turn would have affected
the number of collisions between enzyme and substrate molecules. Excluding the streptococci,
enterococci, and a few other genera, most aerobic and facultative bacteria possess catalase activity.
Adding more would have enabled us to disregard a freak result. Nov 2014 Hydrogen peroxide is
also a dangerous, very potent by-product of metabolism, This meant that because the enzyme
concentration (catalase in yeast) In my first preliminary experiment I just weighed 1 0g of yeast as it
was. An enzyme assay must be designed so that the observed activity is proportional to the amount of
enzyme present in order that the enzyme concentration is the only limiting factor. This enabled me to
work out an average by adding up three repeat values and dividing by 3. It is outside of the working
range of the enzyme and the catalase becomes denatured.
My hypothesis is that the higher the concentration of hydrogen. The name of the enzyme is catalase
(KAT-uh-LAYSS); it speeds up a reaction This reaction is important to cells because hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) is produced as a byproduct of many normal cellular reactions Experiment Summary.
When this bond is cleaved in a hydrolysis reaction, an equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose is
generated. Activity of the Enzyme Catalase with Hydrogen Peroxide - Activity of the of the reaction
between Hydrogen peroxide and a potato, with the enzyme catalase, coursework is based round the
osmosis process that takes place in potatoes. Hydrogen peroxide is also a dangerous, very potent by-
product of metabolism, and it is essential that it is broken down quickly so it does not cause damage
to cells. The name of the enzyme is catalase (KAT-uh-LAYSS); it speeds up a reaction This reaction
is important to cells because hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is produced as a byproduct of many normal
cellular reactions Experiment Summary. Controlled Variables The controlled variables are the other
factors which must be kept constant. I will use exactly the same method as I did previously, and
since I still have some yeast left, I can still use the same batch of yeast. To browse Academia.edu and

Because a pipette is a very accurate way of measuring volumes, I believe that this will be the best
method to make the concentrations. I will then work out the gradient of each curve and plot a
further graph of percentage of H 2 O 2 against the rate of reaction on the y-axis. For this reason, I
will take the following safety precautions: Wear safety goggles and gloves whenever handling
hydrogen peroxide. IB Biology on decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide by? Protocol Work as a
team of 4 at your table to perform theexperiment. Again, the final volume of oxygen produced at
30% was 27.3cm 3, whilst the final value produced in the 60% concentration was 44.7cm3, which is
also not double. The stability of catalase increases with the amount of additive used. Hypothesis I
believe that as the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide (substrate) decreases, the rate of reaction
will decrease as well. In the second preliminary experiment, I measured the volume of gas every 10
seconds but found that the reaction was over before I had enough measurements and that the results
I gained would not be sufficient to obtain enough data to make a valid conclusion. Do this first to
ensure that the mixtures have enough time to reach a constant temperature instead of putting them in
for a short time. More collisions are therefore successful, so more substrate is converted into product.
Jan 2011 Miss Nichol shows you how to do the catalase rates of reaction coursework. The accuracy
of the results showed that this factor did not distort the results too much, and so a similar amount of
substrate molecules were present in each reaction. The method which I used to do this can be seen
below. This will result in a decreased volume of oxygen being produced as one of the by-products of
this reaction. I believed this was accurate, but upon reflection, using a pipette would have been much
more accurate as pipettes have a much lower apparatus error than volumetric flasks. Here are the
proposed solutions to the problems I identified. Catalase And Hydrogen Peroxide Experiment
Coursework Synonyms. I decided that I could reduce this time by using a different method. Effect of
hydrogen peroxide concentration on the rate of? Activity of the Enzyme Catalase with Hydrogen
Peroxide - Activity of the of the reaction between Hydrogen peroxide and a potato, with the enzyme
catalase, coursework is based round the osmosis process that takes place in potatoes.
