Catalase is an enzyme which is very important to organism well-being. It is vital for keeping the body free of damaging oxidants and accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen which is more easily used by the body.

∙ 15y agoThere is not a certain number of catalase proteins in every animal liver. The amount of catalase varies widely depending on the animal species, its age, health and weight.

Which animal has the heaviest liver but the lightest heart?
all of them hydra & worms dose not have liver
What is the most abundant animal by weight?
I believe this would be Krill, even though it is one of the smallest organisms, by weight, is THE most abundant on earth.
What are edible animal organs called?
There are several different organs in an animal that are considered edible. These organs are called the kidneys, liver, heart, brain, and stomach.
What is the internal Ph of a cow?
If you are wondering because you are using cow liver in an experiment with enzyme catalase then you can say 6.5-7. That is the pH of a cows stomach. While your at it the average body temperature of a cow is about 38 degrees.
Can any animal live without liver?
Unfortunately, no.
Why does fresh liver react better in H2O2 then boiled liver?
It all has to do with catalase. Catalase is an enzyme and a biological catalyst in the decomposition of H2O2. When its fresh, catalase is still present in the liver. However, when the liver is boiled, the catalase enzyme is denatured (as it is a protein).
Where is catalase found apart from the liver?
Catalase is also found in potatoes
Is there catalase in boiled liver?
Not if you boiled it well. Liver does contain catalase, but boiling permanently denatures most proteins. Whatever catalase was in the liver before boiling will probably be denatured and non-functional after boiling.
Does Beef Have Catalase?
Beef comes from cows and cows have catalase in their liver, so yes
Does liver contain enyzme?
Yes, one of the enzymes in the liver is catalase.
What is a food source of the enzyme catalase?
Carrots, patatoes, and liver are good sources of enzyme catalase
What part of the body is catalase found?
In humans, Catalase exists in all the organs of the body, but is found mosty in the liver.
Why was liver used as a source of this enzyme?
liver is an organic compound that contains HIGH levels of catalase (enzyme)
Which substance contains more catalase liver or potato?
Potatos are more planted than the other one.
Where is catalase located?
Catalase is found in the blood, plant cells, animal cells, and other living organisms.
Mix hydrogen peroxide and liver?
The enzyme in the liver (catalase) decomposes the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen molecules.
Where is the enzyme catalase produced?
The major source of hydrogen peroxide in the cell is from the oxidation of flavin-linked oxidases: This takes place in the microbodies of plant and animal cells. Peroxisomes and glycoxisomes are microbodies found in the cells of plants and. fungi, whilst similar microbodies are found in animal cells, especially in liver and kidney tissues of mammals. There is also some evidence to suggest that catalase can be found outside of the peroxisomes, in the cytosol of the cell. Yeah,they are found in every mammal also. A long time ago, they were were thought to be in RBC but now they have realized the real truth.
