Catalases are enzymes that catalyse the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water.
The enzyme in the liver (catalase) decomposes the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen molecules.
Specifically peroxidase, the enzyme that resides in the peroxisomes.
It gets rapidly broken down into oxygen and water by the enzyme peroxidase.
The enzyme catalase causes the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen inside cells.
The enzyme is catalase. It can exist without adding hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide simply activates the enzyme.
It is an enzyme that breaks down Hydrogen Peroxide.
Peroxide
peroxide
A substrate is a substance in which an enzyme reacts. The substrate for catalase would be hydrogen peroxide otherwise known as H2O2.
Catalases are enzymes that catalyse the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water.
Manganese oxide is a catalyst which speeds up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
It is an enzyme that breaks down Hydrogen Peroxide.
The enzyme in the liver (catalase) decomposes the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen molecules.
This enzyme is called peroxidase and it is found in the peroxisome organelle.
manganese dioxide
Catalase, however it does not produce hydrogen peroxide but rather catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.
