How fast does 3 percent hydrogen peroxide degrade?
Impossible to predict - depends on far too many variables - temperaure, exposure to light, contaminants etc etc.
Do diamonds degrade?
No.
How long does it take for a shoe to degrade?
5,000 years
What metals do not rust or degrade outdoors?
The metals that do not rust or degrade outdoors are diamond plate, gold, iridium, and platinum. Other types of metals can rust or corrode differently.
Aerobic organisms degrade glucose producing carbon dioxide and water What acid turns the indicator yellow?
It is lactic acid
Does sunlight help form hydrogen peroxide in rainwater?
Sunlight will degrade any hydrogen peroxide that is in the water. This is why over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide is sold in brown bottles.
Can hydrogen peroxide be used to degrade ammonia?
Yes, it is possible.

The activity of which organelle helps keep the ingestion of all but excessive amounts of ethyl alcohol from being fatal?
Peroxisomes hold enzymes that digest amino acids, fatty acids, and hydrogen peroxide, a toxic metabolic product. Enzymes convert hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen or use it in reactions that degrade alcohol and other toxins. Drink alcohol, and peroxisomes in liver and kidney cells usually degrade nearly half of it.
What function does catalase have?
to prevent the build up of hydrogen peroxideFunctions of catalaseis a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms that are exposed to oxygen where it functions to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
What is the role of the catalase?
some organisms produce hydrogen peroxide as a result of respiration. accumulation of this could be toxic to the cell therefore catalase is used to degrade it into less harmful compounds like water and gaseous oxygen
Why do abnormal elevated temperatures degrade proteins?
The heat breaks the hydrogen bonds between the amino acids, and the shape is changed.
What contains enzymes that are used to degrade foreign particles as well as cell structures?
The lysosomes contain those enzymes.
What will happen if you used peroxide on your belly piercing?
Hydrogen peroxide is not something to clean piercings with. They degrade your body's natural clotting and reopen the wound which impede healing and could eventually lead to severe irritation and rejection. Sometimes, due to the wound being open all the time, you can even acquire an infection.Also, peroxide and alcohol severely weaken acrylic (most barbells have acrylic now) and can cause them to become so brittle that they shatter; shattering could lead to lacerations and infection.
How do men degrade women?
One person cannot degrade another. You can only degrade yourself.
Degrade used in sentence?
