  16. Answer: D. pH affects the activity rate of enzymes

  17. Students in a biology laboratory are monitoring the rate at which hydrogen peroxide breaks down to produce water and oxygen gas. They begin monitoring a sample of hydrogen peroxide and then add catalase, an enzyme that speeds up its breakdown. Their data are shown in the table below. Based on the data in this table, during which of the following time periods did the students add the catalase to the hydrogen peroxide? A. Between 0.0 and 0.5 B. Between 1.0 and 1.5 C. Between 2.0 and 2.5 D. Between 2.5 and 3.0 Sponge #9 8-23-12

  18. Answer: B. Between 1.0 and 1.5
