Question

What are the products in the reaction in the introduction above? Select all that apply. H2O2 or H2O or O2 or catalase

Answer 1

Answer;

-H2O

-O2

Step-by-step explanation;

Catalase is a type of enzyme that breaks down hyrogen peroxide and turns it unto water and oxygen. Catalase is involved in a degradation reaction. It speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide in nearly all organisms. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizer that can attack and denature cellular molecules like DNA

Catalase speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen as shown by the reaction;

2H2O2➝(catalase)➝2H2O + O2

Water and oxygen are the products
