Enzymes can promote chemical reactions in living tissues. For example, the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into harmless water and oxygen is accomplished by the chemical catalase. Which molecule represents the substrate in this reaction?
|
|
catalase
|
|
|
hydrogen peroxide
|
|
|
oxygen
|
|
|
water
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -To prevent such damage, the catalase enzyme helps getting rid of these compounds by breaking up hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into harmless water and oxygen. Do you want to see the catalyze enzyme in action? In this activity you will disarm hydrogen peroxide with the help of catalase from yeast.
Detailed explanation-2: -Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen (such as bacteria, plants, and animals) which catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
