Answer: The correct answer is : D) more than 30 seconds

Explanation: This experiment is carried out in order to study the actions of the catalase enzyme on hydrogen peroxide. Catalase is extracted from potatoes and stored on ice. 1%, 5%, 10% and 15% hydrogen peroxide solutions are prepared. Filter papers are soaked with the catalase and then placed inside each hydrogen peroxide solution. Then the time it takes for the filter paper discs to float from the bubbles that are produced is measured.
