What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide and iodine and sugar?

Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic substance that is sometimes made in our cells due to some chemical reactions. It is poisonous so cells produce an enzyme called 'Catalase' which break down hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Because catalase is in our blood, if hydrogen peroxide is added to it, it breaks down: Blood + H2 O2(hydrogen peroxide) --changes to-- H2O (water) + O2 (oxygen).

What causes hydrogen peroxide to bubble?

The reason why it foams or bubble is because blood and cells contain an enzyme called catalase. Since a cut or scrape contains both blood and damaged cells, there is lots of catalase floating around. When the catalase comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide, it turns the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2).
