Illustrate the chemical reaction involved in the degradation of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalase?
The equation for the reaction is 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 Each molecule of hydrogen peroxide is split into a molecule of water and an oxygen atom. The oxygen atoms pair to form oxygen molecules. Catalase is one of the most vigorous enzymes known, and the rush of oxygen to the surface of the liquid is spectacular.
Do humans need nitrogen and oxygen to live?
Humans (and most, and if, not all other organisms) need nitrogen is to produce protein. Oxygen is used up in respiration to help produce energy used by the human (and other organisms, but not plants) body.
What is a gas that is necessary for breathing?
hi me know the anser but I is not telling u!!
How oxygen remove from steel?
Oxygen is removed from iron ore to produce iron which is then refined and alloyed with other metals and constituents to form steel. The oxygen is removed from the iron ore by heating it to a high temperature in the presence of carbon (and other materials) as a reducing agent. Indeed, once iron is produced in this way some processes actually blow oxygen through the iron to burn away impurities. My point here is that most steel production does not involve removal of oxygen once iron has been smelted.
What part of your body needs the most oxygen when climbing up the stairs?
The muscle cells which are present in the legs requires the most amount of oxygen while climbing the stairs because it needs to produce a lot of energy to be able to move fast.
What is catalase test?
Catalse Test Catalase (also known as peroxidase) is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. Most higher organisms produce catalase, but in bacteriology this test is usually used to differentiate staphylococci (Catalase positive) from streptococci (Catalase negative). Chemical equation for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide:2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 In this test a drop of hydrogen peroxide is emulsified with the bacterial growth, if the organism is catalase positive active bubbling is seen (formation of oxygen) In catalase negative reactions no active bubbling is seen

Why when adding catalase and hydrogen peroxide into a tube makes it bubble?
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) reacts naturally in air to form oxygen and water. 2H2O2 > 2H2O + O2 Catalase is an enzyme found in most organisms which catalyses this process, so the bubbles you see are oxygen.
Reaction of Bacillus Megaterium in a catalase test?
Most Bacillus species are Catalase positive.
What is the significance of SOD and catalase to the pathogenesis of bordetella pertussis?
SOD converts the dangerous superoxide radical to hydrogen peroxide, which catalase converts to harmless water and oxygen. Catalases are some of the most efficient enzymes found in cells; each catalase molecule can convert millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules every second.
Why does diesel produce the most usable engery?
Diesel is burned at higher pressure, higher temperature, and at oxygen excess. Means it burns cleaner and more efficiently.
What can cyanobacteria do?
They produce the most oxygen on Earth for us.
What organism produce the most oxygen on earth?
Phytoplankton.
What countries produce the most oxygen?
Brazil
Is oxygen from wind?
No. Wind or not, oxygen is a major component of air. Earth's plants produce most of its oxygen.
What US state produces the most oxygen?
The evergreen states produce more oxygen.
Why is catalase important for living organisms?
Catalase is an enzyme found in most organisms that are exposed to oxygen. It is important because it catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. It mainly protects the cell from oxidative damage.
