Hydrogen peroxide is a substance that is produced as a byproduct of many cell processes. However, hydrogen peroxide is toxic to

cells. In fact, if cells are unable to break down hydrogen peroxide, they become poisoned and die. Catalase is an enzyme that is found in all living tissues. This enzyme speeds up the reaction that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into less harmful substances. What substances are formed as a result of this reaction?

<span>INTRODUCTION: What would happen to your cells if they made a poisonous chemical? You might think that they would die. In fact, your cells are always making poisonous chemicals. They do not die because your cells use enzymes to break down these poisonous chemicals into harmless substances. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of reactions that would otherwise happen more slowly. The enzyme is not altered by the reaction. You have hundreds of different enzymes in each of your cells.</span>

Answer:

Water and Oxygen

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide is a harmful substance that can damage the membrane system of the cell. Cells have catalase enzyme in peroxisomes. The enzyme catalase catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. In this way, the potential causative agent of oxidative stress, that is hydrogen peroxide, is rendered harmless by enzyme catalase.

How many and what are the processes that seed plants use to reproduce.
Luba_88 [7]
Plants reproduce through the process of fertilisation. Fertilisation is the process where female and male cells join together to form an embryo inside the seed. The seed protects the embryo in preparation for germination when conditions permit the plant to produce new plants.

Seed plants are classified into two types to determine reproduction. First are the Angiosperms, this type of seed plant has flowers that have special structures for reproduction. Pollens are made by male cells, while ovules are made by female cells. Pollens are carried out through the process of pollination (e.g. wind blows, insects carrying pollen). Most angiosperms that don’t undergo pollination develop intro fruits. If it goes into pollination they become new flowering plants.
<span>
Second classification is the Gymnosperms, which are seed plants that are held in cones. Gymnosperms like Angiosperms also have male and female reproductive cells. Reproduction also occurs through pollination but most gymnosperms are trees. The best example of a gymnosperm are pine cones.  </span>
