They exhibit the same relationship in the way that, as the concentration of substrate or enzymes increase, the rate of reaction will increase. The difference is that one is contingent on how much reactions can occur due to the number of substrate, while the other is limited by the number of reactions due to the set amount of enzymes. In more simple terms, one is more capable of performing reactions quickly (enzyme concentration) due to the more availability of enzymes to create reactions. Therefore if you were to look on a line graph, you would most likely see the enzyme concentration peaking/plateauing much earlier than the substrate concentration.

According to the data, the optimum temperature is 65 degrees Celsius. It is the temperature that yields the highest rate of reaction compared to the other temperatures, which will make it the peak. However, I disagree with this optimum temperature due to the abnormality of 22 degrees Celsius. There is evident error within the experiment, perhaps it is a insufficient bath temperature or an error on the groups performing that portion of the lab. Although the data proves otherwise, I believe this "optimum temperature" to be inaccurate based on the data collected due to the lack of testing from higher temperatures to confirm that the enzyme's reaction rate will decrease after this temperature has been reached. There should be more testing to support that 66 degrees Celsius is the peak of the catalase's performance, if this were to be displayed on a line graph there would be a lack of peaking and descending. Therefore there is no true optimum temperature based on the information at …show more content…
To being with, there is catalase in our bodies, normally most of our bodies, aside from our stomach and perhaps some other regions, have a pH range for 7-7.45. Catalase is predominantly found in the human liver, which detoxifies substances that would harm the human body. In this case it is detoxifying peroxide. The pH of the liver is very neutral having an extremely close or a pH of 7, which proves that they their optimal pH environment would be 7, since the body is sectioned to promote peak performance of each organ. This information would overall imply that the enzyme best works at a neutral pH of 7, based on the location of catalase within the body. Although, the data obtained argues in favor of a more basic environment being the optimal pH, but I believe that there was evident error in the experiment causing the data to be slightly skewed straying away from theoretical
