Hydrogen peroxide is broken down by catalase, an enzyme found in living cells such as celery cells. Oxygen gas is released during the reaction. (a) Read through parts (a) and (b), and complete the headings in Table 1.1 below. [2] • Use the syringe to place 2 cm3 of hydrogen peroxide solution in the test-tube. Add a drop of detergent and use the stirring rod to mix well. • Cut a 1.5 cm length from the middle of the celery stick. • Cut this 1.5 cm length into approximately 1 mm slices. Now cut these slices in half as shown in Fig. 1.1. 1 mm slice approximately 1 mm slice 1.5 cm Fig. 1.1 (not to scale) • Add these pieces to the hydrogen peroxide solution in the test-tube. • Use the stirring rod to push the pieces into the solution and immediately start the stopwatch.
