How does changing the concentration of enzyme affect the rate of decomposition of H2O2?

The higher the concentration of an enzyme, the faster the rate of decomposition. There is actually an enzyme in the human body that catalyses H2O2. It is catalase, which breaks down the toxic H2O2 into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).

∙ 15y agoAs a reaction proceeds, the reagents are consumed and transformed (there are some rare exceptions) into the products. This removes some reagents from the system and means that there are less, for example, hydrogen peroxide molecules available and therefore able to react with; thus, the reaction slows down.

How does an inhibitor affect the rate of chemical reaction?
Enzymes fasten chemical reactions, inhibitors blocks the enzymes and they will not accelerate the reaction.
Which enzyme is responsible to the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide?
Manganese oxide is a catalyst which speeds up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
What effect changing the concentration of calcium ions has on the rate of coagulation of milk?
Rennin is an enzyme that converts the soluble milk protein caseinogen into the insoluble protein paracasein, producing the curd that can be processed into cheese or other milk products. Inorganic ions such as metal ions can act as cofactors. The ion may combine with either the enzyme or the substrate to reduce the activation energy. These ions are called activators. Activators are thought to make the enzyme substrate complex form more easily. For example, the action of amylase on starch is quicker in the presence of chloride ions. Calcium ions are required to activate the enzyme rennin. In this demonstration, calcium ion is removed by precipitating it as calcium citrate. In the tube containing the sodium citrate, calcium citrate forms as a precipitate. what effect changing the concentration of calcium ions has on the rate of coagulation of milk how calcium ions influece the activity of rennin in bringing about the coagulation of milk because it does
Why does fresh liver react better in H2O2 then boiled liver?
It all has to do with catalase. Catalase is an enzyme and a biological catalyst in the decomposition of H2O2. When its fresh, catalase is still present in the liver. However, when the liver is boiled, the catalase enzyme is denatured (as it is a protein).
Which enzyme converts hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen?
The peroxizome contains catalase, an enzyme which facilitates the decomposition of H2O2 to H2O and O.
How does increasing enzyme concentration affect the rate of enzyme action when the enzyme concentration remains constant?
It doesn't
What are some factors that affect enzyme speed?
Substance concentration, enzyme concentration, temperature and PH level
How does increasing substrate concentration affect the rate of enzyme action when the enzyme concentration remains constant?
It doesn't
How does increasing enzyme concentration affect the rate of enzyme action when substrate concentration remains constant?
It doesn't
Temperature and can affect enzyme activity?
Ph level, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration etc
Is there any Procedure in enzyme and factors that affect enzyme activity?
pH, temperature, substrate concentration and enzyme concentration influences the rate of reaction
How does changing the substrate concentration exhibit the same effect as changing the enzyme concentration?
For the enzyme to work, its particles must collide with the particles of the substrate. The more particles there are per unit volume, the more frequent the collisions will be. Thus changing the concentration of either chemical will have the same effect.
How salt concentration affect the rate of enzyme reaction?
Each enzyme has an optimal salt concentration. Changes in the salt concentration may also denature enzymes.
What are 3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalyzed reaction?
3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalysed reaction are: .Temperature .Enzyme Concentartion .Substrate concentration
What factors affect the rate of enzyme activity?
-Heat, temperature, &pHtemperature, pH level, concentration of enzyme, concentration of substrate( my sec.1 science book)
What are 3 things that can alter enzyme activity?
1. Temperature. 2. P.H level. 3. Enzyme concentration
What may affect enzyme activity?
Temperature, pH, salt concentration
