Description: When wheat sprout, liver, or potato extract is added to an actively oscillating Briggs-Rauscher reaction, the reaction ceases immediately, accompanied by effervescence of oxygen gas. The catalase in the extract decomposes the hydrogen peroxide in the Briggs-Rauscher reaction, causing it to stop oscillating.
