No. Only amylase works for breaking-down of glucose( in fact the product should be maltose. It is because of lock-and-key hypothesis, only 1 enzyme fits the specific substrate. By the way, catalase is a enzyme inside liver, it is used to break down the hydrogen peroxide, the products are oxygen and water.

Why do humans produce catalase?
Catalase helps to begin breaking down sugar to finally produce energy.
What is glucose also referred to?
breaking down glycolyses...
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 do you call the breaking down of glucose?
glycolysis. (:
If glucose is broken down by glucase what is made?
Well, since glucose is made out of carbon-dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), I think that would exactly be what would be made if glucose was broken down by glucase. Explained: Glucose is made through photosynthesis which involves CO2+H2O+Energy = C6H12O6 (a.k.a glucose). Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down glucose for energy used by nearly all complex organisms. It breaks glucose into CO2, H2O, and most importantly, energy.
What molecule is catalase breaking down in this reaction?
H2o2

Which organelle in a cell uses oxygen when breaking down glucose?
Mitochondria in the cell use oxygen when breaking down glucose.
First process in breaking down glucose?
glycolysis
The process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate?
glycolosis

How does glucagon change plasma glucose?
Glucagon increases amount of glucose in blood by breaking down of glycogen to glucose .
What is the reaction for breaking down glucose?
The reaction for breaking down Glucose is called: GlycolysisThese are biological reactions. They are catalyzed by enzymes. Kinases, dehydrogenases and isomerases are important enzymes in Glycolysis.
Does cellular respiration begin when the glucose starts breaking down?
no
What is respriation in food?
The breaking down of glucose into usable energy.
What breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose?
Yes. You can obtain fructose & Glucose by the breaking down of Sucrose. Sucrose is made from linked Fructose & Glucose.
