I did a lab with potatoes, soaking them in salt solutions of 2g/100ml of water, 4g/100ml, and 6g/100ml. After that i added 5 drops of hyrdrogen peroxide to each potato and timed how long it bubbled for. The salt solution with 6 grams bubbled the longest. What does this data mean?

what do my results tell me?
i'm not sure how to interpret the data

i did multiple trials..and avereagedmy data...does the longer the hydrogen peroxide bubble mean that the enzyme peroxidase is in good condidtions?

Hi. Nothing all by itself. You would have to repeat the same experiment several time to see if the result repeated. Then you have to come up with a hypothesis : Is the salt causing it; is the salt changing the chemistry of the potato; does it matter what temperature... that sort of thing.

You're supposed to come up with a logical hypothesis based on this data. Since it bubbles more with more salt.....I don't have the energy for this.
