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.
Global Warming!! Some of you might be wondering what Global is Warming. Some might be wondering is it even real? Or is it just some environmentalist scam trying to get people to care about the environment?? Global Warming is not a fiction or a hoax. It is real and...

Scientific Back round: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other solution's molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as...

I plan to see if the body size of an animal affects its heat loss. I am going to do this by using three glass beakers with various amounts of boiling water in them. I will then see which beaker looses its heat the fastest or the slowest....

Background Information ?â?£ There are three main types of Enzymes. These are Carbohydrases, Protease and Lipases. ?â?£ Enzymes can be used over and over again. ?â?£ If the temperature is too low the Substrate Starch has less thermal energy which means that there will be...
