In this lab activity, we tried to find out how much oxygen would come out of the catalyst reaction. My hypothesis is that the more enzyme we put in the hydrogen peroxide, the more oxygen will be produced. The procedure began with us getting a test tube and putting varying amounts of enzyme in the tube. Then we put it underwater and measured how much oxygen comes out using a second test tube.

My hypothesis was proved because more oxygen was leaked with four enzymes than when we had one enzyme. We did this lab to explain enzymes and how they work with the environment. I learned that reactions can be sped up by adding more enzymes.
