Catalase converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Catalase is the endozyme that then degrades hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen
The enzyme in the liver (catalase) decomposes the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen molecules.
The enzyme catalase causes the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen inside cells.
Water & oxygen.
Is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts. e.g. hydrogen peroxide is the substrate for the enzyme catalase
Catalase converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Catalase Hydrogen peroxide -----------------> Water + Oxygen.
The turnover number for catalase is extremely high. One molecule of catalase can easily convert 400 million molecules of hydrogen peroxide to H2O.

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.
hydrogen peroxide
A substrate is a substance in which an enzyme reacts. The substrate for catalase would be hydrogen peroxide otherwise known as H2O2.
When the catalase comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide, it turns the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water. The bubbles you see in the foam are pure oxygen bubbles being created by the catalase.
