Catalase Experiment Can hydrogen peroxide be broken down by catalyst other than those found in a living system? Independent and Dependent Variables Independent Variable: The independent variable is the chicken liver and the potato. Dependent Variable: The dependent variable is what I will be measuring which is how much peroxide I will use for each individual experiment. I will also need to measure the temperature of the peroxide during/after the experiment and the pH balance. Purpose “What was the purpose for this lab?”- IRP Instructions The purpose for the Catalase Lab Experiment to have figured out if Hydrogen Peroxide could be broken down by catalyst found in and not in a living system. Background Information Biological catalyst have enzymes which contains …show more content…
