Yes they do. Catalase in general seems to protect organisms, including potato cells, from the effects of hydrogen peroxide. In plants, catalase is primarily located in peroxisomes, cell organelles which are like lysosomes, but break down simpler molecules. Catalase is involved in decomposition of hydrogen peroxide generated during cellular processes such as photorespiration and oxidation of fatty acids. Hope this helps :)

Where is catalase found apart from the liver?
Catalase is also found in potatoes
Which vegetable contains more catalase eggplant-potato-turnip?
potatoes contain more catalase than carrots
Household food items that can break down hydrogen peroxide?
potatoes or liver anything with the enzyme catalase
What are some good sources of the human enzyme catalase?
Potatoes, Yeast and the human liver (or pigs liver)
What were the differences between the reactions of fresh liver and potato cubes in hydrogen peroxide?
Because liver has more catalase than potatoes.
Are Chryseobacterium Catalase plus or Catalase negative?
Catalase +
Why does hydrogen peroxide foam with potatoes?
Catalase is an enzyme that is present in potatoes that catalyzes the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide into H20 (water) and O2 (oxygen). This oxygen that is being formed in the enzymatic reaction is the cause for the bubbles that you see forming.
What two groups of bacteria can be differentiated with the catalase test?
The morphologically similar Enterococcus (catalase negative) and Staphylococcus (catalase positive) can be differentiated using the catalase test.
What enzyme distinguishes staphylococci from streptococci?
Catalase. Staphylococci are catalase positive. Streptococci are catalase negative.
Why salmonella typhi is catalase positive?
it should test + for catalase but Salmonella isolates are moderate catalase reactors.
Reaction of Bacillus Megaterium in a catalase test?
Most Bacillus species are Catalase positive.
Do potato cells have catalase?
Yes, potato cells do have catalase.
