oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Catalase behaves as a catalyst for the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Explanation:

Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme that plays a very important role in the protection against oxidative damage by breaking down hydrogen peroxide. It is a very highly conserved enzyme that has been identified from numerous species including bacteria, fungi, plants and animals.

Catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers for all known enzymes (40,000,000 molecules/second). This high rate shows an importance for the enzymes capability for detoxifying hydrogen peroxide and preventing the formation of carbon dioxide bubbles in the blood.

Why are ammonite fossils found in the Himalayas?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer;

This is because most likely some time a ago there use to be Ammonites living there and as they died there, they got fossilized.

Explanation;

-Fossils of a marine animal called Ammonite are found in large numbers in the Kali Gandaki river in Nepal. Ammonites were sea animals having shells - either straight or coiled. When the Tethys sea disappeared, they were caught in the shale layers of clay and transformed into fossils. This is one of the proofs that the Himalayas were indeed once under water.
