The substrate of catalase is hydrogen peroxide, which is broken down into water and oxygen. Catalase is a tetrameric protein made up of four subunits that come together to form a globular shape with a heme group at the center.
Catalase Hydrogen peroxide -----------------> Water + Oxygen.
Is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts. e.g. hydrogen peroxide is the substrate for the enzyme catalase
Catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Therefore, its substrate in this reaction is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
Catalase acts on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a substrate, breaking it down into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).
The rate of catalase activity increases with substrate concentration because more substrate molecules are available for the enzyme to bind to, leading to more frequent enzyme-substrate collisions. This enhances the likelihood of catalase facilitating the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. However, this increase in activity continues only until the enzyme becomes saturated, at which point all active sites are occupied, and the rate levels off.

A substrate is a substance in which an enzyme reacts. The substrate for catalase would be hydrogen peroxide otherwise known as H2O2.
Yes, that's correct. Catalase is an enzyme that helps break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide is the substrate in this reaction, and catalase helps speed up the decomposition process.

Catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Therefore, its substrate in this reaction is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
The substrate in the reaction catalyzed by catalase is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and the products are water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).
Catalase acts on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a substrate, breaking it down into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).
Catalase is an enzyme that specifically acts on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as its substrate. The enzyme's active site is complementary to the structure of H2O2, allowing it to effectively bind and break down the substrate into water and oxygen. This specificity is a key feature of enzymatic reactions, ensuring efficient and selective catalysis.
Because the shape of the active site on catalase only permits it to break down hydrogen peroxide. This is the case for many enzymes such as catalase, although some enzymes can break down more than one substrate.
If another substance binds to the active site of catalase, it could potentially inhibit or slow down the enzyme's activity. This could decrease the rate of reaction catalyzed by catalase, as the binding of the other substance may interfere with the enzyme's ability to bind with its substrate and convert it to products.
Catalase is an enzyme that is substrate-specific, meaning that it has a particular reaction that it will catalyze (to speed up a reaction). Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the specific substrate reactant with which catalase will react (in a degradation reaction). This is the degradation (breaking down of) reaction. 2H2O2 yields 2H2O+O2 O2 is oxygen which is indicated by the rising of bubbles upon reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the catalase. Sucrose is not the specific substrate assigned to the catalase enzyme, therefore they will not react together in a degradation reaction, hence the lack of oxygen release (lack of bubbles). I hope this was helpful to you. God bless and Jesus loves you.
it is important because the shape of h2o2 must be complementary to the shape of the active site of the calase enzyme. Enzyme substarate complex can be formed and enzyme product complex can then be formed. If h202 shape was not complementary of the shape of the active site of catalase h202 could not be broken down into water and oxygen. Without the enzyme present it would take days for the h202 to break down. It would eventually break but it would take a long time. So the shape is important because without h202 would not be able to bind with the active site.
