For example, the oxygen sensor did not give the exact percentage of oxygen unless given enough time to process the contents of the flask. If the percentages were taken as soon as it was inserted into the flask, then the experiment would be extremely inaccurate. In addition to this, the amount of time taken to transport the test tubes from the location where it was heated/cooled and the location where the testing took place was far enough to where the test tube could heat up/ cool down in the process of transportation. In order to fix it (or at least minimize the damage done), the transportation time was reduced as best as possible. One error that was made had to do with the measuring of the catalase. It was not measured correctly for the first few trials and had to be redone. Another problem that arose was the amount of time given in comparison to the amount of trials required. It was time-consuming at first, but a process was established after some time and the work became very efficient. One limitation of the experiment was the fact that not all cows have a temperature of 104°, and if the highest functioning temperature of the enzyme had a correlation to the average temperature of the cow, then it wouldn’t be as accurate as possible. This could’ve been prevented by testing temperatures that are very close to 104°, but the amount of levels of IV would then become too high and the amount of time it would take to test it would be far too much. This information can be useful in the real world as well. If a cow or any warm-blooded animal had noticeable sickness, the temperature can possibly be the issue and action should be taken to insure that if that is the case then the amount of oxygen produced returns back to normal again. Further study can be done on this topic, as this experiment didn’t technically determine whether the
