Фрагмент работы

Hydrogen peroxide has an acidic pH which will break down into water which has a neutral pH. This may effect the enzyme action as many enzymes work faster in a neutral environment, the only control over this is the fact that it will happen in each test and to consider its effect at the end of the experiment. I will need to use the same potato and cut a fresh chip at each stage of the experiment as the catalase may become effected by exposure to the air. This may effect results so I will keep the chips as similar as possible. …
