Hydrogen Peroxide and Catalase Reaction Quiz

What is the primary reason hydrogen peroxide is unstable?

• It has a strong bond between hydrogen atoms.

• It has an unstable bond between oxygen atoms.

• It is a solid at room temperature.

• It reacts with metals.

What is the function of catalase in yeast?

• To break down hydrogen peroxide and protect cells.

• To produce energy from sunlight.

• To convert water into oxygen gas.

• To create new DNA strands.

How does catalase affect the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide?

• It slows down the reaction.

• It speeds up the reaction without being consumed.

• It stops the reaction completely.

• It changes hydrogen peroxide into carbon dioxide.

What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide, soap, and yeast?

• The mixture evaporates quickly.

• The mixture turns into a solid.

• The mixture becomes acidic.

• The mixture produces foam.

Which ingredient would you adjust to increase the foam production in the experiment?

• Decrease the amount of soap.

• Increase the amount of yeast.

• Decrease the amount of water.

• Increase the amount of food coloring.
