q:
a:
you have learned in class that changing the ph or temperature of the environment can denature an enzyme. when an enzyme is denatured, it's shape changes, preventing it from forming an enzyme-substrate complex and slowing the reaction or even causing it to stop. your group is curious about what might denature catalase. what would be the most appropriate hypothesis to use if you wanted to test conditions that could denature catalase?
a) if the amount of liver is increased, then the reaction rate will increase.
b) if the hydrogen peroxide is warmed, then the rate of the reaction will increase.
c) if the liver is placed in an acidic solution, then the reaction rate will decrease.
d) if the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is decreased, then the reaction rate will decrease.
