What is substrate molecule?
Is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts. e.g. hydrogen peroxide is the substrate for the enzyme catalase
What is catalase's substrate in this reaction.2h202 and 2h20 plus 02?
h2o2
What does catalase do to hydrogen peroxide?
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.
After the enzyme catalyzes the reaction is it changed in any way?
Enzymes that enter a reaction do not change in any way but the substrate does.
Would catalase work at breaking down glucose?
No. Only amylase works for breaking-down of glucose( in fact the product should be maltose. It is because of lock-and-key hypothesis, only 1 enzyme fits the specific substrate. By the way, catalase is a enzyme inside liver, it is used to break down the hydrogen peroxide, the products are oxygen and water.
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 .
Hydrogen is a substrate of the enzyme catalase?
Peroxide
What is substrate molecule?

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.
What is catalase's substrate in this reaction.2h202 and 2h20 plus 02?
h2o2
How do you test which enzymeproteaseamylaseand catalase will work better in alkaline conditions?
Put them all into separate alkaline conditions and then introduce their respective substrate and observe the reaction.
Why when adding catalase to sucrose not makes it bubble?
Catalase is an enzyme that is substrate-specific, meaning that it has a particular reaction that it will catalyze (to speed up a reaction). Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the specific substrate reactant with which catalase will react (in a degradation reaction). This is the degradation (breaking down of) reaction. 2H2O2 yields 2H2O+O2 O2 is oxygen which is indicated by the rising of bubbles upon reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the catalase. Sucrose is not the specific substrate assigned to the catalase enzyme, therefore they will not react together in a degradation reaction, hence the lack of oxygen release (lack of bubbles). I hope this was helpful to you. God bless and Jesus loves you.

Factors effecting catalase rate of reaction?
Temperature, pH, Substrate concentration, Enzyme concentration, Inhibitor concentration (ex. ammonia)

Enzymes that enter a reaction do not change in any way but the substrate does.

Is it possible to reuse biomolecules such as catalase?
enzymes keep working ( fit to their corresponding substrate) unless they have been denatured. not really too sure though about all of them.
