Catalase is considered an endoenzyme because it is produced and used within a cells metabolic machinery. Since it breaks down superoxide molecules it must work inside the cell.

Catalase would be classified as and endoenzyme. It is an endoenzyme because is in peroxisome and act within the cell.

Catalase is an enzyme that decomposes hydrogen peroxide. It is an endoenzyme because it functions within the cell where it was produced.

What vegetable contains the most catalase?

All fruits contain catalyse. Catalyse is found in all living things except Bactria and fungus. so all fruits and veggies have it all though when testing catalyse in those different fruits it is not always immediately evident.

Do all proteins have catalytic properties?

No, generally proteins have not catalytic properties, typical roles of proteins are - Components of the body structure (muscles for example); - Element of information transmission among cells; - Transportation proteins (like Cholesterol for example that is used tot transport fat molecules in blood) - Antibodies and many others A particular class of proteins however do exist, enzymes, that are the most used catalytic substances in nature. They are however only a particular category among proteins.


What is a substrate in the context of enzyme reaction?

Enzyme-substrate specificity means that a substrate can fit into an enzyme similar to a key fitting into a lock. The active site of the enzyme is what determines its specificity. An enzyme can hence catalyze a reaction with a specific substrate, such as amylase catalyzing starch molecules. During these reactions, the substrate is held in a precise optimum position to create and break bonds, catalyzing the molecule.

Is tryptophanase a exoenzyme?

It is an endoenzyme because its hydrolysis occurs within the cell for metabolism


What is the difference between exoenzyme and an endoenzyme?

exoenzymes are present outside the cell(e.g; cellulose, protease) whereas endoenzymes are present inside the cell at the site of synthesis.(e.g; ligase)


How can you tell amylase is an exoenzyme and not an endoenzym?

Endoenzymes work inside a cell. Exoenzymes work outside a cell after being secreted. Amylase is an exoenzyme because it's function is to break down starches in the mouth and GI tract. If it were an endoenzyme it would not function in this capacity.
