cell to perform specific functions. These biological catalysts are important because they speed up the rate of the reaction that would otherwise be too slow to support life. Catalase is an enzyme present in the cells of plants‚ animals and aerobic (O2 requiring) bacteria. It promotes the conversion of hydrogen peroxide‚ a powerful and potentially harmful oxidizing agent‚ to water and oxygen. Catalase also uses hydrogen peroxide to oxidize toxins including phenols‚ formic acid‚ formaldehyde and alcohols

the relationship between Carbon Dioxide [CO2] breathing plants and Oxygen [O2] breathing life forms. All oxygen-breathing life forms take in Oxygen and exhale CO2. Plants take in the CO2 and use it in their photosynthesis process and in turn give off oxygen. The Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen Cycle is a continuously occurring process whereby animals inhale Oxygen and then exhale carbon dioxide‚ and plants use the CO2 and "exhale" O2. Plants and other producers use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis. They produce

CSUSM comparative animal physiology students contained mice (Mus musculus) and Madagascar hissing cockroaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa) in vacuum tight contains to measure O2 consumption which would then translate into the mass specific metabolic rate (MSMR). With the comparison between mice in room and cold temperatures‚ mice held in cold temperatures had a higher MSMR (t= 3.23‚ df= 16‚ p= 0.005). The MSMR of cockroaches
