What is the function of peroxidase in plants?

Peroxidase in plants helps in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide, a harmful byproduct of metabolism, into water and oxygen, which are less damaging to plant cells. It also plays a role in the defense against pathogens by producing toxic compounds that are harmful to them. Additionally, peroxidase is involved in the lignification process, which strengthens cell walls in plants.


What trace element is part of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase?

Selenium is the trace element that is part of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. It plays a crucial role in antioxidant defense by helping to reduce oxidative stress in the body.


What enzyme is present in liver and potatoes?

Catalase is the most well known enzyme common to both liver and potato, but there are others enzymes that can be found in potato. Oxidase and peroxidase are the other enzymes that can be found in potato. Oxidases in potato includes tyrosinase, cathecol oxidase and cytochrome oxidase. Peroxidase have the same function as with oxidase but they need a co-factor in order to complete its required action. The co-factor phenol oxidase is found abundant in potatoes. Hence, it will have a positive reaction once a substrate will be added indicating the presence of peroxidase in potatoes.


Is potato peroxidase destroyed by boiling?

Yes, boiling can denature peroxidase enzymes and potentially destroy their activity. High temperatures can break the hydrogen bonds holding the protein structure together, leading to a loss of enzyme function.

What is the basic difference between catalase and peroxidase?

Catalase is a member of the peroxidase family. Catalase generates water and oxygen while peroxidase generates water and an activated donor molecule. Thus, peroxidase could refer to more than one enzyme.

What sugar is found when conA peroxidase bind to cheek epithelial cells?

If conA peroxidase binds to cheek epithelial cells, it will bind to glycoproteins containing mannose and/or glucose residues on the cell surface. This binding may be visualized using a colorimetric reaction to detect the sugar residues on the surface of the cells.
