In fact it doesn't 'produce' more catalyse
By grinding up the liver, you are producing small bits of liver and therefore have more surface area. Hence providing more surface area = more opportunities for to the catalyse to go to work.
It's all about surface area to volume ratio.
The More surface area you have to volume ratio, the quicker the reaction.
(smaller bits of grind up liver, will produce a quicker reaction)
and vise versa.

∙ 11y agoLiver has many functions. More metabolic activities takes place inside liver tissues than any other tissues of the body. Metabolic reactions produce toxic wastes such as H2O2. (Especially during the digestion of fatty acids) . Catalase enzyme is needed to break down this toxic waste or else it might be harmful for the cells. Therefore, more Catalase enzymes are present in the liver to break down this toxic substances.

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).
Which substance contains more catalase liver or potato?
Potatos are more planted than the other one.
Why liver cells give more oxygen than potato cells for catalase reaction?
the liver has more enzymes that the potato (a starch) does.
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.
What happens to crushed liver when in peroxide?
It reacts more quickly than uncrushed liver would. This is because more catalase is exposed to the hydrogen peroxide.
Does Beef Have Catalase?
Beef comes from cows and cows have catalase in their liver, so yes
What were the differences between the reactions of fresh liver and potato cubes in hydrogen peroxide?
Because liver has more catalase than potatoes.
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 is catalase abundant in animal liver?
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.
