Aim: I am going to investigate how different surface areas, and therefore enzyme concentration, of the same volume of potato affects rate of reaction, when placed in 10ml hydrogen peroxide. Prediction: As the surface area increases, so do the amount of enzymes, which are biological catalysts that are on show, free for the hydrogen peroxide to collide with. Because the catalase and hydrogen peroxide are a complimentary pair, and the enzymes are the ones that break down the substrate, then the more enzymes there are, the more hydrogen peroxide will be reacting at once, and once that...
not used up, or does not differ after the reaction; it can be used again and again after countless reactions. It also does not cause the reaction, but simply speeds the reaction up.

I also kept the same potato, for each set of results I took three, as using lots of different ones could have produced unreliable results, as different potatoes' enzymes' reaction times may differ slightly. I did 5 different experiments each on 3 different potatoes 5 experiments on each, to obtain accurate results incase one potatoes enzymes were very different from most.
Amylase - Planning * Hypothesis I predict that as the temperature increases, the speed of the reaction will increase. When a particular temperature is reached I believe the rate of reaction will dramatically decrease. I believe this because most chemical reaction happens faster when the temperature...

Prediction Osmosis is defined as is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. In a high concentration of water the amount of solute e.g. sugar is low. This could be called...

Prokaryotes gave rise to the first eukaryotic cells in a process known as endosymbiosis. Symbiosis is an association between two or more species, and endosymbiosis implies that one species was living inside the other one, the host. The prokaryotes that gave rise to all eukaryotes were probably from the domain...

My Views on the Process of Evolution For many years people have asked the questions, "How did we get here?", and "How did mankind come to exist?" Astronomers, philosophers, and even mathematicians have come up with explanations. I believe in the theory of Theistic evolution. It is the belief...

Let"s get straight to the heart of the matter--the heart"s job is to move blood. Day and night, the muscles of your heart contract and relax to pump blood throughout your body. When blood returns to the heart, it follows a complicated pathway. If you were in the bloodstream,...
