Answer:

#3 an increase in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide.

Explanation:

The changes to the cell that causes the greatest reduction in the activity of the catalase would be - #3 an increase in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide.

Catalase enzyme is present in both plant and animal cells. The catalase is mainly found in aerobic organisms. The substrate for the enzyme is hydrogen peroxide which is broken down into oxygen and water.

  • The hydrogen peroxide is harmful to the cell and very reactive. Its buildup can kill the cell
  • to breakdown the hydrogen peroxide, the catalase enzyme catalyzes it and convert it into water and oxygen
  • increase of the hydrogen peroxide leads to a reduction in the activity of the catalase.
  • A single molecule of the catalase can break down 40 million molecules of hydrogen peroxide per minute.

Thus, the correct answer is - #3 an increase in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide.
