An investigation to compare the reaction rates between potato and hydrogen peroxide against liver and hydrogen peroxide through loss in mass. Background information: Catalase is an enzyme that is found in all cells. This means that it is an intracellular enzyme. And enzyme is a biological catalyst. A catalyst is some thing that speeds up a reaction without being changed itself. Because of this enzymes and catalysts can be used again and again. Enzymes are …showed first 75 words of 1989 total…

For instance I could see if the potato skin had more catalase in it then potato flesh does. I could also find out if kidneys had a faster reaction rate than liver. I would do the same experiment using the same measurements but I would use a wider variation of reactants.
