Why animal cells have more catalase enzyme than plant cells?
Naomieva
Catalase is an enzyme that is needed to break down hydrogen peroxide - a by product of cellular respiration. Typically, cellular respiration occurs at a higher rate in animal cells, meaning that more catalase is needed to break down more hydrogen peroxide: In case the equaiton is needed: 2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2

∙ 13y agoplant and animal cells contain catalase so they can break down hydrogen peroxide a poisonious gas produced by metabolism and photosynthesis into water and oxygen. the following formula applies
H202 CATALYSED TO- H20-O2

∙ 13y agoCatalase is a necessary enzyme for almost all aerobic organisms, responsible for speeding up the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (a toxic waste in cells) into water and oxygen gas. Inorganic substances or long-dead tissues like coal will probably not contain catalase, but anything alive would quickly die without it.

Do animal cells have more catalase than plant cells?
Catalase is indeed found in all living things. It is a common enzyme that is found in tissue of organisms.
What is an organism that produces peroxidase?
Catalase is commonly found in all living organisms that are alive or can survive with oxygen. You can find Catalase in plant, animal or human cells and they are produced by aerobic organisms.
Do both plant and animal cells have a nucleus?
Yes, both animal and plant cells have a nucleus.
What is the part of the enzyme into which the substance fits?
Where the substrate and the enzyme fit is called the active site. There are substance that can inhibit this fit.Natural poisons are often enzyme inhibitors that have evolved to defend a plant or animal against predators. These natural toxins include some of the most poisonous compounds known.
What do animal cells have that plant cells dont?
all animal cells have centrioles but plant cells dont
Do animal cells have more catalase than plant cells?
Catalase is indeed found in all living things. It is a common enzyme that is found in tissue of organisms.
Where is catalase located?
Catalase is found in the blood, plant cells, animal cells, and other living organisms.
What enzyme is common to both plant and animal cells in production of ATP?
ATP Synthase
Is cellulase a plant enzyme or an animal enzyme?
Cellulase is an enzyme found in herbivorous animals as it assists the breakdown of cellulose found in all plant matter.
Are vesicles animal cells or plant cells?
Vesicles are neither animal nor plant cells, but organelles that can be found in both plant and animal cells. An organelle is to a cell what an organ is to a human, so a vesicle is to a plant or animal cell what your stomach is to you. Plant cells feature a large central vacuole, while animal cells contain smaller vacuoles.
What is an organism that produces peroxidase?
Catalase is commonly found in all living organisms that are alive or can survive with oxygen. You can find Catalase in plant, animal or human cells and they are produced by aerobic organisms.
Is centrioles in plant or animal cells?
Animal cells, not plant cells.
Where is the enzyme catalase produced?
The major source of hydrogen peroxide in the cell is from the oxidation of flavin-linked oxidases: This takes place in the microbodies of plant and animal cells. Peroxisomes and glycoxisomes are microbodies found in the cells of plants and. fungi, whilst similar microbodies are found in animal cells, especially in liver and kidney tissues of mammals. There is also some evidence to suggest that catalase can be found outside of the peroxisomes, in the cytosol of the cell. Yeah,they are found in every mammal also. A long time ago, they were were thought to be in RBC but now they have realized the real truth.
What do plant cell have that animal cells?
Animal cells have centrioles and plant cells do not.
How is animals cells different from plant cells?
Animal cells have lysosomes, plant cells don't. Plant cells have a cell wall made out of cellulose, animal cells don't. Animal cells have many small vacuoles, plant cells have one large vacuole. Plant cells have chloroplasts and chlorophyll, animal cells don't. Animal cells have centrioles, plant cells don't.
Do Venus Flytraps have plant or animal cells?
Well seeing it is a plant it has plant cells not animal cells
Why do animal cells need plant cells?
animal cells can't make their own food, plant cells can so animal cells need to eat plant cells
