Question

when you add sucrose to catalase do you expect to see a reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

If you add sucrose to catalase when testing for reactivity, do you expect to see a reaction?  

Multiple Choice No, because catalase is specific to hydrogen peroxide. Yes, because catalase is an enzyme that increases any reaction rate. No, because catalase is specific to sucrose.

Explanation:

Answer 2

When you add sucrose to catalase during a reactivity test, one should not expect to see any reaction.

Catalase is an enzyme that is substrate specific and its substrate is hydrogen peroxide.

Catalase is able to induce the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide for the release of oxygen gas and water in reaction. The equation of reaction is as follows:

• $2H_2O_2 ---> 2H_2O + O_2$

The specificity of catalase in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide means that any other substrate added to it will not lead to a reaction, although this can change under some special conditions.

Hence, due to it substrate specificity, one should not expect any reaction when sucrose is added to catalase.
