| Activity 1.5 Capable catalase—an observational activity | The metabolism of cells involves many different chemical reactions. These include energy-releasing reactions such as cellular respiration, as well as others in which substances are constructed or digested. The byproducts of some of these chemical reactions are harmful and must be removed from the body before they accumulate to a level at which they can cause tissue damage. | 60 minutes | P Biol 11 NSW AB PA1_5.spklab |
