AP BIO Catalysis Lab
AP Biology Lab #2 Enzyme Catalysis Overview: In this lab you will observe the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water and oxygen gas by the enzyme catalase, and then measure the amount of oxygen generated. You will also calculate the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Objectives: Before doing this lab, please review the following from your text and/or notes: Structure, function of enzymes How temperature, pH, enzyme concentration and substrate concentration affect the initial reaction rates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions Review the terms: Catalyst Catalase Catalysis After doing the lab, you should be able to:
