... relationship between catalase activity and changes in pH, surface area, and cell type. Three hypotheses were tested to define this relationship: 1. The reaction rate of the enzyme, catalase, will be greatest at its optimum pH of 7.0. 2. Increasing the surface area by crushing each cell type will increase the catalase activity. 3. The liver ... cylinder and record the total height of froth after two minutes. 5. Repeat this procedure; however crush each piece of liver this time to increase surface area. 6. Repeat all above steps, but using cubes of apple, potato and chicken breast. Variable...
