only one enzyme can carry out one type of reaction. The catalase enzyme speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. The hydrogen peroxide molecule acts as the substrate molecule and enters the active site where it is broke down into oxygen and water. The oxygen and water then leave the active site.

Atomic Structure Quiz Sample Questions 1. Why do only the number of protons and the number of neutrons make up the atomic mass of an element‚ but not the electrons? We generally do not use the number of electrons when calculating the atomic mass of an atom because they weigh so little (precisely 1/1836 AMU)‚ and only in precise calculations are the masses of the electrons included in atomic mass. 2.
