Lab sheet (Enzymes)

The lab sheet outlines an experiment to investigate the effect of temperature on enzyme activity, specifically focusing on catalase's role in breaking down hydrogen peroxide. It includes sections for identifying independent and dependent variables, controlled variables, measurement tools, safety precautions, and a results table. Additionally, it prompts students to explain how to confirm that observed results are due to the presence of the catalase enzyme.

Lab sheet (Enzymes)

Objectives:
Investigate and describe the effect of changing temperature on enzyme activity.

Name: …………………………………………………………………………. Class: …………


 Catalase is an enzyme found in plant and animal tissues. It speeds up the breakdown of
hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The activity of this enzyme can be measured by foam
