An example of spontaneous decomposition is that of hydrogen peroxide, which will slowly decompose into water and oxygen: : 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 thus it would be a degradative reaction

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 is the overall reaction for photosynthesis?

6(CO2 + H2O) ---solar energy--> (C6H12O6) + 6(O2)


Write the equation connecting photo system 1 and photosystem 2?

The equation connecting Photosystem I (PSI) and Photosystem II (PSII) in photosynthesis is: 2H2O + 2NADP+ + 8 photons (light) → O2 + 2NADPH + 2H+ + 8 photons (light). This represents the light-dependent reactions in the thylakoid membrane where PSII and PSI work together to drive the production of energy carriers like ATP and NADPH.


What is an example of a reduction reaction?

An example of elimination reaction is seen in the reaction of isobutylbromide with potassium ethoxide in ethanol. Isobutylene, ethanol and potassium bromide is the resulting reaction.


What organelles take up CO2 and give off O2 in plant cells?

Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for taking up CO2 and producing O2 in plant cells through the process of photosynthesis. Within the chloroplasts, the green pigment chlorophyll absorbs light energy to drive this reaction.

What type of reaction is hydrogen plus oxygen equals water?

The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form water is a synthesis reaction. It is also a combustion reaction since it involves a chemical reaction of a fuel (hydrogen) with an oxidant (oxygen) to produce water and release energy in the form of heat.
