AP Biology Lab 2: Enzyme Catalysis

The video tutorial provides a walkthrough of AP Biology Lab 2, focusing on enzyme catalysis. It explains the role of catalase in breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The lab experiment involves using yeast to observe reaction rates by measuring how quickly filter paper floats in hydrogen peroxide. The tutorial also discusses factors affecting enzyme activity, such as temperature and pH, and how these influence reaction rates.

What is the significance of measuring the rate of oxygen production in the experiment?

How does temperature influence enzyme activity, according to the lab discussion?

Discuss the impact of pH on enzyme activity as described in the lab.
