Many cells make and use an enzyme, called catalase, to facilitate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The products of the decomposition are hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). What is the effect of catalase on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide?

Answer: Catalytic effect

Step-by-step explanation:

Catalyst is a substance which speed up the rate of the reaction occurring inside the body.

The catalase is an enzyme which is responsible for catalyzing the decomposition reaction or break down of the hydrogen peroxide. And all living things exhibit or possess this enzyme. The enzyme catalyzes the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
