Potato Catalase Hydrogen Peroxide Experiment

A Classical Description of the Potato Catalase and Hydrogen Peroxide Experiment as the Core
At some point, to understand the role of enzymes, it is to conduct experiments on potato catalase and hydrogen peroxide.

First, prepare potatoes, cut them into thin slices, and place them in a purifier. Remove the hydrogen peroxide solution and fill it in a bottle.

Throw potato chips into the hydrogen peroxide solution. Instantly, bubbles rise in the liquid, like boiling soup. This is because potatoes contain catalase, which can promote the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to produce oxygen and water.

Look at the bubble, smell it, and there is a faint sound. This experiment shows the catalytic effect of enzymes in chemical reactions. Enzymes, like a pilotage boat, make the reaction go quickly without damaging themselves. And there are many enzymes in the living body, each performing its own duties, and promoting all kinds of biochemical reactions in an orderly manner.

From this experiment, we know that the wonders of nature are hidden in the subtleties. By exploring it with scientific methods, we can obtain its secrets, and help our generation understand the principle of changes in all things.
