Amylase is an enzyme and, like most enzymes, it will denature when exposed to high temperatures. Denature means to lose its shape and an enzyme such as amylase is dependent on its shape to perform its function.

∙ 11y agoCatalase can only break down hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, it cannot break down starch because starch is a polymer of glucose and it is not a substrate of catalase.

What would happen if your body didn't have the enzyme catalase?
we would die
Would you expect Clostridium to produce catalase?
No. Clostridium bacteria will display a negative result in a catalase test indicating that bacteria do not produce catalase, therefore preventing oxygen accumulation.
What tests would separate micrococcaceae from the streptococcaceae?
Catalase test
If a starch was incubated with amylase at zero degrees Celsius would you expect to see any starch?
no
What happens if an organism can't make enough catalase?
Then the plants would not breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen.
What enzyme catalyzes the digestion of starch?
Lactase catalyzes the breakdown of lactose. It would probably not catalyze the breakdown of starch because enzymes are SPECIFIC and are typically named for the substrate that it acts on. Amylase is the enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of starch. (Named so because in plants, starch is stored in the amyloplasts)
What are some example sentences for the word catalyze?
You need to catalyze that ingredient.The death of John would catalyze the crowd to protest.
What would happen if your body didn't have the enzyme catalase?

No. Clostridium bacteria will display a negative result in a catalase test indicating that bacteria do not produce catalase, therefore preventing oxygen accumulation.
What tests would separate micrococcaceae from the streptococcaceae?
Catalase test
Which type of protein hepls to catalyze biochemical reactions?
That would be an enzyme.
Would catalase act on chemicals other than hydrogen peroxide?
Catalase is an enzyme and enzymes work best with a specific substrate. The enzyme can work with any substrate just not as efficient .
Would blood serum contain starch or glycogen?
starch
Would starch be found in leaves that are neither green nor white?
yes there would be starch in it
Catalase is a endoenzyme or exoenzyme?
Catalase is considered an endoenzyme because it is produced and used within a cells metabolic machinery. Since it breaks down superoxide molecules it must work inside the cell.
How would you make oobleck if you don't have cornstarch or tapioca starch?
You would use potato starch and water
What would happen if the iodine molecules passed through the membrane into the starch suspension?
The starch suspension would form into a blue-black precipitate. This is due to the reaction between starch and iodine.
