Enzyme Catalysis Experiment Quiz

What is the role of hydrogen peroxide in the enzyme catalysis experiment?

• It is a byproduct of the reaction.

• It is used to clean the equipment.

• It is the substrate for the reaction.

• It acts as the enzyme.

What is the purpose of soaking the filter paper discs in catalase?

• To coat them with the enzyme.

• To ensure they float.

• To change their color.

• To make them heavier.

Why is it important to touch the soaked filter paper discs to a paper towel before placing them in the test tube?

• To remove excess catalase for consistent results.

• To make them lighter.

• To dry them completely.

• To change their shape.

What variables can be manipulated in the enzyme catalysis experiment to observe different outcomes?

• Only the type of enzyme used.

• Only the type of substrate used.

• Substrate concentration, enzyme concentration, temperature, and pH.

• The size of the test tube.

Why is it necessary to perform multiple trials in the enzyme catalysis experiment?

• To use up all the materials.

• To make the experiment longer.

• To ensure the stopwatch is working.

• To average the results for accuracy.
