Question

The enzyme catalase is an important chemical in the functioning of what?

Answer 1

The enzyme catalase is in charge of the
decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, a
molecule that is toxic for the cell. This enzyme
transforms hydrogen peroxide (H202) into
water (H20) and oxygen (02), two elements
non-toxic and necessary for cells. It is found on
the peroxisomes of all cells and it is very
important mainly on blood cells.
