Since you know what Glucose Oxidase is I'm assuming you know what enzymes are. If not, an enzyme is a protein that catalyzes chemical reactions.
Glucose oxidase is the enzyme built specifically for Glucose. Glucose Oxidase binds to the six-carbon sugar Glucose and aids the organism in breaking it down into metabolites.

Why is the Glucose Oxidase test a more specific test for urinary glucose that Benedict's test?
the tests are more simple and sensitive than Benedict's tes
What is the formula that use to calculate the concentration of glucose in blood by the principle of Beer-Lambert law and application of glucose oxidase?
patients absorbance/absorbance of the standard*concentration of the standard gives you the glucose concentration of the patients sample
Is Pseudomonas luteola oxidase positive?
in the absence of glucose or lactose , some bacteria are able to use citrate as only source of carcon. alkaline pH change the bromothymol blue indicator from green to blue. pseudomonas can not ferment the glucose and the lactose so it use the citrate as carbon source.
What are the advantages of using the enzymatic method for the determination of blood glucose?
Simply put, the enzymatic method ( eg. glucose oxidase and hexokinase etc.) is the best method for blood glucose concentration because of its specificity. This yeilds maximum specificity for glucose estimation even in a comlpex mixture. Sherry-Ann Ramnarine-Phillips
What happens when glucose and starch react together?
They are the same: starch is the form in which glucose is stored. So nothing happens.
How do clinistix work?
The sticks contain enzymes (glucose oxidase and peroxidase) which react in the presense of glucose. The glucose oxidase changes glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide and the peroxidase reacts with that hydrogen peroxide to change a pigment in the stick from neutral color to positive color.
Why does catalase elute in a wider range of fractions than glucose oxidase does?
Catalase degrades easily at room temperature b. Glucose oxidase is inactivated at low pH c. Glucose oxidase is only active at low pH d. Glucose oxidase has a higher molecular weight than catalase .
What is the molecular weight of glucose oxidase?
160,000 Daltons
Which is the enzyme which catalyses the reaction of glucose to gluconic acid?
Glucose oxidase that converts the carbonyl (aldehyde) carbon of glucose to a carboxylic acid.
What of these substances is an enzyme A. triglyceride B. glucose C. oxidase D. omega-3 fatty acid E. nucleotide?
C. Oxidase is an enzyme.
Why is the Glucose Oxidase test a more specific test for urinary glucose that Benedict's test?
the tests are more simple and sensitive than Benedict's tes
What is glucose oxidase peroxidase aminophenazone phenol?
Glucose oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Peroxidase is another enzyme that uses hydrogen peroxide to catalyze the oxidation of various organic compounds. Aminophenazone is a compound that is commonly used in diagnostic tests to react with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of peroxidase, producing a colored compound. Phenol is an organic compound that can act as a reducing agent and is commonly used in various industrial applications.
When glucose is burned which gas in the air does the glucose react with?
It is oxygen.
What is the formula that use to calculate the concentration of glucose in blood by the principle of Beer-Lambert law and application of glucose oxidase?
patients absorbance/absorbance of the standard*concentration of the standard gives you the glucose concentration of the patients sample

in the absence of glucose or lactose , some bacteria are able to use citrate as only source of carcon. alkaline pH change the bromothymol blue indicator from green to blue. pseudomonas can not ferment the glucose and the lactose so it use the citrate as carbon source.
What are some biochemical characteristics shared by the family enterobacteriaceae?
Members of Enterobacteriaceae are oxidase negative, ferment glucose, and reduce nitrate to nitrite.
What substances react in aerobic respiration?
oxygen and glucose
