Liver contains more catalase than potatoes because it plays a crucial role in detoxifying harmful substances, particularly hydrogen peroxide, which is a byproduct of various metabolic processes. The high metabolic activity in the liver requires efficient breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to prevent cellular damage, necessitating higher levels of catalase. In contrast, potatoes, being plant tissues, have lower metabolic rates and generally produce less hydrogen peroxide, resulting in lower catalase levels.

Well potatoes have less protein than the liver therefore the liver reacts faster with more protein than the potato which is all starch.


Why does liver break down H2O2 faster than potato?

The liver contains higher levels of catalase enzyme, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen. Potatoes also contain catalase, but in lower levels compared to the liver. This difference in enzyme concentration causes the liver to break down H2O2 faster than potatoes.

Why does the liver have more catalase?

In fact it doesn't 'produce' more catalyseBy grinding up the liver, you are producing small bits of liver and therefore have more surface area. Hence providing more surface area = more opportunities for to the catalyse to go to work.It's all about surface area to volume ratio.The More surface area you have to volume ratio, the quicker the reaction.(smaller bits of grind up liver, will produce a quicker reaction)and vise versa.
