The reaction is shown below. → 2H₂O + O₂ 2H₂O2 This reaction is important to cells because hydrogen peroxide is a by-product of many nor- mal cellular reactions. (a) An experiment can be designed to test the effect of different temperature levels on the functioning of catalase. Identify the appropriate independent and dependent variables for this experiment. (b) Identify an appropriate method to measure the dependent variable in this experiment and justify your choice. Respond in 4 to 6 complete sentences.arrow_forward
