What happens to enzymes at a low pH?
The activity of the enzymes depends on the specific pH needed.
Which biomolecule are enzymes made up of?
Enzymes called amylase are found in your salivia, made in your salivia glands. The amylase helps to break down carbohydrates in your mouthbefore it goes down to the stomach. When the carbohydrates get to the stomach, more amylase needs to be added. This is because the acid in the stomach is extremely strong (pH 1) and dissolves the amylase. Another organ, called the pancreas, adds more of the amylase to the stomach, in order to digest the remaining carbohydrates. They are also many other enzymes in your body. Good luck with biochem :)

What happens on the catalase test?
Catalse Test Catalase (also known as peroxidase) is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. Most higher organisms produce catalase, but in bacteriology this test is usually used to differentiate staphylococci (Catalase positive) from streptococci (Catalase negative). Chemical equation for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide:2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 In this test a drop of hydrogen peroxide is emulsified with the bacterial growth, if the organism is catalase positive active bubbling is seen (formation of oxygen) In catalase negative reactions no active bubbling is seen
