It breaks down the potato faster because the liver contains more of an enzyme called catalase in it than the potato.

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).
What enzyme break down h2o2 to h2o and o2?
catalase
Does liver contain an enzyme which breaks down H2o2?
H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) is broken down by Catalase [an enzyme of the Peroxidase family], produced by every living animal cell. So yes.
What is H2O2 used for?
H2O2 can used as Disinfectant.
What the balance of H2O2 H2O O2?
H2o2=2h2o+o2
What are the functions of peroxisomes in an animal cell?
They break down H2O2 into water.Engage in the photorespiration.They are main.
What is the job of peroxisome?
They break down H2O2 into water.They involve detoxification in liver.
What is responsible for detoxifying alchohol hydrogen peroxide?
Liver is responsible in detoxifing alcohol.Peroxisosomes break up H2O2.
What is a peroxisome in a animal cell?
It is an organell.They break down H2O2 into water.They involve detoxification inside liver.
What is the function of a peroxisomes?
They break down H2O2.Detoxify in the liver.
What is the normal function of peroxisomes?
They break down poisonous H2O2. Involve in detoxifying in liver. In plants involve in photo respiration.
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).
What enzyme breaks down H2O2?
Catalase break down H2O2.It is stored in peroxisomes.
Why do cells break down H2O2?
Cells would break down H2O2 for the use of H+ and O- ion in other need compounds or for the H2O molecules for hydrolysis reactions (breaking down larger macromolecules), unless your referring to why do cells seem to breakH2O2 into H2O + O2, it's not really the cells breaking it down it's the enzyme or catalyst that the cells contain, the catalyst that some cells contain (liver cells) that will break down H2O2 is Hydrolase.
Mix hydrogen peroxide and liver?
The enzyme in the liver (catalase) decomposes the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen molecules.
What enzyme break down h2o2 to h2o and o2?
catalase
What does the peroxisome do for the plant cell?
They break down H2O2 into water.Engage in the photorespiration.
