Enzymes: that is the question.

During lab today, Ashley and I came up three predictions about enzymes. The first one was that the higher the  concentration of the catalase, the faster the reaction with the hydrogen peroxide. The second one was the the higher the temperature, the slower the reaction and the third reaction was that the more acidic, the slower the reaction.

We know that enzymes are particles that break other particles apart more quickly. But they themselves do not break down. We know that all living things can be broken down into smaller particles and since enzymes do not break down themselves, we can conclude that they are not alive.

Thats our story and we're stickin' to it.
