Case Study: Case Study: Catalase Activity Catalase HO2 (0 + O, (9) Catalase is an enzyme that converts hydrogen peroxide (H,O) to oxygen and water. An experiment investigated the effect of temperature on the rate of the catalase reaction Small (10 cm) test tubes were used for the reactions, each containing 0.5 cm of enzyme and 4 cm of hydrogen peroxide. Reaction rates were assessed at four temperatures (10°C, 20°C, 30'C. and 60°C). For each temperature, there were two reaction tubes (e.g. tubes 1 and 2 were both kept at 10 C). The height of axygen bubbles present after one minute of reaction was used as a measure of the reaction rate: a laster reaction rate produced more bubbles. The entire experiment, involving eight tubes, was repealed on two separate days. 10°C 20°C 30°C 60'C Height of oxygen bubbles 4 cm H,02+ 0.5 cm enzyme Tubes 3 & 4 Tubes Tubes 5 &6 Tubes 1 & 2 7&8 1.
