Before Our ExperimentIndependent Variables: potato, apple, liver, and steakDependent Variables: presence of reaction and breaking down the hydrogen peroxideControl Group: rockConstant: amount of hydrogen peroxide (5 ml), amount of independent variable (4 cm diameter), temperature of hydrogen peroxide and independent variable (room temperature)
Hypothesis: they both had an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide
Rock (control)
Before After
The rock did not have an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide
Potato
Before After
The potato did have an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide
Apple
The apple did have an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide
Before After
Liver
Before After
The liver did have an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide
Steak
The steak did have an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide
Our conclusion was that both plants and animals have an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide, however we think that
animals have more of the enzyme
