SECTION A
1. (a) Students investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction of the enzyme, catalase.
They use crushed potato as the source of the enzyme and place 5 mg into each of 7 test
tubes. They add 3 cm3 of l%o hydrogen peroxide to each test tube andoC, place them into
water-baths kept at the following temperatures: 0 "C, l0 "C,20
oC, 30 40 oC, 50 "C
and 60 .C. They count the number of bubbles released per minute from each test tube
and record the data in Table l.
