Experiment Goal
•
2
Early Observation
Catalase is an enzyme found in nearly every
cells
Produced by an organell named Peroxixome.
3
Early Hypothesis
Enzyme Works on Specific pH
• Therefore, catalase enzyme do work in
specific pH as well.
•
∴ Theoptimum pH for catalase
enzyme is 7 (neutral)
•
Procedures
After 5 minutes, open the plastic wrap and do
“Gas Test” by using ember ribs for all tubes.
Pay attention to the ember of the ribs.

Conclusion
Catalase enzyme work best in neutral
condition. This is proven by the lighter
ember in neutral-substrate during Gas Test.
