Determination of how Temperature affects the amount of pigment (Betalains) released from a piece of Beetroot

The results of an investigation in which different amounts of catalase were added to the same amount of hydrogen peroxide. You can see that the shape of all five curves is similar. In each case, the reaction begins very quickly (steep curve) and then gradually slows down (curve levels off). Because the amounts of hydrogen peroxide are the same in all five reactions, the total amount of oxygen eventually produced will be the same so, if the investigation goes on long enough, all the curves will meet.
To compare the rates of these five reactions, in ord...
