i have to conduct an enzyme experiment on their concentration of the substrate on the activtity of a names enzyme catalase...the enzyme is a potato
can anyone check my method and see if i'm doing the right thing??
i'm confused
This is my method for my practical: i left a space in front of hydrogen peroxide because the teacher didn't tell us weather we should use 3% or 6%
Method:

Method:
- Place 5 test tubes in the test tube rack and label the test tubes 1-5.
- Pour in the volumes of hydrogen peroxide and distilled water in each test tube with the correct volume of the substrate.

- Mix the contents of each test tube.
- Cut the potatoes and crush them to increase their SA for more reaction.
- Place the crushed potatoes in the test tubes with the same amount and mark the initial height of the liquid with a marking pen.
- Measure the height of the test tubes after 5 minutes to see if any change or reaction has occurred.
