Task To find the effect of temperature on enzymes, using a potato as a catalyst. The source of catalase is in the potato cells. Theory Enzymes are large proteins that speed up chemical reactions. In their globular structure, a small number of amino acids to form the active site. Enzyme and substrate fail to connect if their shapes do not match exactly. This ensures that the enzyme does not participate in the wrong reaction. When …

…accurate graph and it would be easier and more accurate to tell when the enzyme got to the optimum and denaturing temperatures. The evidence that I obtained is enough to support the conclusions I have come to about the values for the optimum and denaturing temperatures because I conducted my experiment as accurately as I could with the method I used and did quite a large range and number of repetitions to the results reliable.
