Graph 1 Lab Report
In Graph 1, each line of color represents a different level of pH added to the solution. When pH 9 was added, it produced the highest rate of reaction (the most oxygen was produced), whereas when the more acidic pH 5 was added, the rate of reaction was much slower, and less efficient. The higher the oxygen evolved (gas produced), the more reactions were being produced/higher rate of reaction. Different types of enzymes’ reaction proportions differ based on the pH being added. For example, intestinal enzymes may react differently to pH than liver enzymes (catalase) which was tested.
The hypothesis was proved to be correct due the rate of reaction increasing as the pH levels got more basic. Based on Graph 1, the slope of the pH 9 line was more
