A reactant in photosynthesis?

I am not sure if this is a reactant but I know that if it isnt then the process it takes to get it has a reactant in it. ATP and NADPH. These are synthesized by the use of light energy which occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. I hope this helps.

What two groups of bacteria can be differentiated with the catalase test?

The morphologically similar Enterococcus (catalase negative) and Staphylococcus (catalase positive) can be differentiated using the catalase test.


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.


What enzyme distinguishes staphylococci from streptococci?

Catalase. Staphylococci are catalase positive. Streptococci are catalase negative.

Catalase test useful for differentiation of staph?

The main criterion for differentiation between Staphylococcus and Streptococcus genera is the catalase test. Staphylococci are catalase positive whereas Streptococci are Catalase negative. Catalase is an enzyme used by bacteria to induce the reaction of reduction of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
