Because the shape of the active site on catalase only permits it to break down hydrogen peroxide. This is the case for many enzymes such as catalase, although some enzymes can break down more than one substrate.

What substrate does catalase work on?
Catalase Hydrogen peroxide -----------------> Water + Oxygen.
How do you know that the raw foods contained catalase?
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.
What reagent detects catalase?
Hydrogen peroxide( 3% H2O2)
What enzyme filled sac is found in the liver and produces hydrogen peroxide?
Catalase, however it does not produce hydrogen peroxide but rather catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.
What is the job of the catalase enzyme?
Catalase breaks down toxic hydrogen peroxide in living organisms (in both plants and animals) into water and oxygen. 2H2O2 (reaction of catalase) produces 2H2O + O2
What effect does catalase have on the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide?
Catalase converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
What substrate does catalase work on?
Catalase Hydrogen peroxide -----------------> Water + Oxygen.
What chemical reaction degrades hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalase?
Catalase is the endozyme that then degrades hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen
What enzyme acts on hydrogen peroxide in living organisms?
Catalase Catalase
Hydrogen is a substrate of the enzyme catalase?
Peroxide
What hydrogen is a substance of the enzyme catalase?
peroxide
What are the reagents used in the catalase test?
hydrogen peroxide
What is the substrate of catalase?
A substrate is a substance in which an enzyme reacts. The substrate for catalase would be hydrogen peroxide otherwise known as H2O2.
How do you know that the raw foods contained catalase?
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.
Is reacton of catalase with Hydrogen peroxide exothermic or endothermic?
exothermic
Hydrogen peroxide degradation in a cell is a function of?
Catalase and/or Peroxiredoxins
What reagent detects catalase?
Hydrogen peroxide( 3% H2O2)
