How would you test to see if catalase could catalyze starch?
Amylase is an enzyme and, like most enzymes, it will denature when exposed to high temperatures. Denature means to lose its shape and an enzyme such as amylase is dependent on its shape to perform its function.
What would happen if your body didn't have the enzyme catalase?
we would die
Would you expect Clostridium to produce catalase?
No. Clostridium bacteria will display a negative result in a catalase test indicating that bacteria do not produce catalase, therefore preventing oxygen accumulation.
What tests would separate micrococcaceae from the streptococcaceae?
Catalase test
Is denaturation of proteins a function of the stomach?
Yes, denaturation of proteins is a function of the stomach. The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid that helps to lower the pH of the stomach, which denatures proteins. This denaturation process makes the proteins more susceptible to the action of digestive enzymes, facilitating their breakdown into smaller peptides and amino acids.
Why does heat and acid cause a catalase to stop functioning?
Catalase is a protein and proteins can de-nature or change shapes when exposed to heat. Acid is very corrosive and so my guess would be that acid would just eat away at the protein and cause the protein to lose major parts needed to function

What would be the consequences if a person's stomach was surgically removed or did not function properly?
malabsorption

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 .
How do female nipples function?
Nothing it's just how where made.it would be weird of we didn't have nipples
Catalase is a endoenzyme or exoenzyme?
Catalase is considered an endoenzyme because it is produced and used within a cells metabolic machinery. Since it breaks down superoxide molecules it must work inside the cell.
What effect would cutting the vagus nerve branch that innervates the stomach on gastric function?
Reduce gastric acid secretion. Also causes faster emptying of liquids from the stomach, but delayed emptying of solids from the stomach. Source: medical doctor
