What else can I help you with?
Where is catalase found apart from the liver?
Catalase is also found in potatoes
Is there catalase in boiled liver?
Not if you boiled it well. Liver does contain catalase, but boiling permanently denatures most proteins. Whatever catalase was in the liver before boiling will probably be denatured and non-functional after boiling.
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).
Does liver contain enyzme?
Yes, one of the enzymes in the liver is catalase.
What is a food source of the enzyme catalase?
Carrots, patatoes, and liver are good sources of enzyme catalase
What is the technological value of catalase?
The technological value of a catalase is to extract the type F Enzymes inside of the outer layer of the ovum.
How can you increase the rate of catalase reaction by using the same size liver?
You can increase the rate of catalase reaction by increasing the surface area of the liver. This can be achieved by cutting the liver into smaller pieces or blending it into a paste. Breaking the liver into smaller pieces exposes more catalase enzymes to the substrate, leading to an increase in the rate of the reaction.
What organ has the highest concentration of catylase?
The liver has the highest concentration of catalase enzyme in the body. Catalase helps to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, protecting cells from oxidative damage.
What part of the body is catalase found?
In humans, Catalase exists in all the organs of the body, but is found mosty in the liver.
Why was liver used as a source of this enzyme?
liver is an organic compound that contains HIGH levels of catalase (enzyme)
What happens to crushed liver when in peroxide?
When liver tissue is crushed and exposed to hydrogen peroxide, the enzyme catalase in the liver reacts with the peroxide, breaking it down into water and oxygen. This reaction produces bubbles of oxygen gas and can be used to demonstrate the presence of catalase in living tissues.
What were the differences between the reactions of fresh liver and potato cubes in hydrogen peroxide?
Fresh liver contains the enzyme catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water, leading to bubbling. Potato cubes do not contain catalase and therefore do not produce bubbles when exposed to hydrogen peroxide. This difference in reaction is due to the presence or absence of catalase enzyme in the tissues.
