Can hydrogyn peroxide be broken down by catalysts other than those found in living tissue?
yes! carbon minoxide is an example
Enzymes act as catalysts in living things.
Try a peroxidase enzyme. For example "Versatile peroxidase", Jena Biosciences #EN-203L is an extremely effective catalyst.
A catalysts speeds up the reaction in living things.
Proteins provide structure for living organisms. They are also catalysts for almost every biochemical reaction. Without protein catalysts, it could take years for a single sugar molecule to be broken down in a cellular environment.
Catalyst work in non living things while enzyme work inside living things. They are not catalyst but instead they can be called biocatalysts. Hope it helps.
Without catalysts many chemical reactions cannot occur; biological catalysts are called enzymes.

In humans at least, enzymes are called bio-catalysts.
