Aims: To investigate how the reaction between the enzyme catalase and H202 is effected by the concentration of catalase.

Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions that otherwise proceed slowly. The enzyme called

catalase is a catalyst. It exists in plant and animal cells and breaks down hydrogen peroxide,

H2O2, which is a byproduct of metabolism. Hydrogen peroxide is toxic if it accumulates in a

The chemical reaction accelerated by catalase is written

The products of the above reaction are oxygen gas and water, two non-poisonous molecules. In living cells, the oxygen can be used for cellular respiration and the water can be excreted
