yes it did - for another test, I cooled it down to room temp, and it sped back up

The catalase was a mixture of ice, water, potato, and salt. The ice in the mixture cooled it below room temp. The control test, was just leaving the catalase as it was, but the second test was heating it to 20oC.

ok thank you. But would this happen at 20oC??

I was doing a science experiment involving enzymes and hydrogen peroxide, and by adding heat to the catalase, it should have sped up the reaction, but instead it slowed it down. Is there a reason why this happened?? Isn't heat supposed to speed up the reaction, instead of slowing it?
