When liver is added to hydrogen peroxide it starts bubbling vigorously releasing oxygen gas as effervescence. Hence the catalase present in liver decomposes the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.

∙ 15y agoYes it can break down hydrogen peroxide and turn it into water, however, you're not supposed to ingest (spelling) hydrogen peroxide because it's bad for your body.

Does the human liver break down more hydrogen peroxide in the summer or winter?
The enzyme catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide in the liver. Seasons do not generally affect the amount of hydrogen peroxide breakdown, because humans regulate their body temperature.
How do you reduce hydrogen peroxide to water in homely method?
You can decompose hydrogen peroxide into water by adding a few pieces of uncooked diced potato or liver to it. Both potatoes and liver contain enzymes that will break down hydrogen peroxide.
Which organelle can convert hydrogen peroxide into two harmless products?
Catalase is an enzyme produced by the liver which can break down hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water...Does that answer your question?
Why does macerated liver react faster than whole liver on hydrogen peroxide?
By macerating the liver, you are increasing its surface area (SA) therefore, the enzyme catalase can break down the hydrogen peroxide at a much faster and easier rate.
Household food items that can break down hydrogen peroxide?
potatoes or liver anything with the enzyme catalase
Can an apple break down hydrogen peroxide?
Yes it can. I did it in science class just today, and it works. It happens slowly but it does break down hydrogen peroxide.
Does manganese dioxide catalyze the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide?
Yes manganese dioxide catalyzes the break down of hydrogen peroxide.
What are Peroxisoms?
the proliferators are what the peroxisomes use to help break down the hydrogen peroxide. They do this because hydrogen peroxide is harmuful towards the cell.
Does water turn into hydrogrn peroxIde after a while?
No, Hydrogen Peroxide will eventually turn into water because it will break down from H2O2 into H2O but water will not turn into hydrogen peroxide....
What are peroxisome proliferators?
the proliferators are what the peroxisomes use to help break down the hydrogen peroxide. They do this because hydrogen peroxide is harmuful towards the cell.
What is produced when hydrogen peroxide is broken down?
When two molecules of hydrogen peroxide break down, one molecule of water and one molecule of diatomic oxygen are produced.
Does the liver break down hydrogen peroxide in the summer or winter?
Neither. The body regulates its temperature, and the reactions would not speed up anymore than it was in any season.
