Title: How does temperature affect the rate of catalase reaction in potatoes. Purpose: This experiment tested to see how varying temperature affects the rate of enzyme reaction. More specifically catalase. Hypothesis: Very high temperature will denature and decrease the rate of enzyme reaction. Very low temperature will also decrease the rate of enzyme reaction. Procedure: In this experiment, 3 pieces of potatoes were put into 3 different test tubes of varying temperatures. These temperatures were created by soaking the test tubes in hot water bath or cold water bath for 3 minutes. The rate of enzyme reaction was measured by the height of the bubbles after Hydrogen Peroxide was poured in. Results: The rate of enzyme reaction decreased
