... quicker for enzyme to hydrolyse starch. The temperatures I have chosen are 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, and 40°C The experiment is done in software, which deals with science investigations The results of the experiment are shown in the below. Enzyme Temperature (°C) Time Taken to hydrolyse ...

... that was added, the more oxygen was given off. This leads me to think that the 'quantitative prediction', is true, so the amount of catalase added and the amount of oxygen given off is directly proportional. So, the more catalase ...
