The inferior vena cava (or IVC) â¦ is the large vein that carries de-oxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the right atrium of the heart.nferior vena cava is a vein carrying and returning the blood to the heart, and abdominal aorta is an artery taking oxygenated blood from the heart to the various organs and t â¦ issues. 10 people found this useful.
Biochemical differentiation between Staphylococci and Streptococci with CATALASE test: The main criterion for differentiation between Staphylococcus and Streptococcus genera is the catalase test. Staphylococci are catalase positive whereas Streptococci are Catalase negative. Catalase is an enzyme used by bacteria to induce the reaction of reduction of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. III-A.
In this lab, you will study an enzyme that is found in the cells of many living tissues. The name of the enzyme is catalase (KAT-uh-LAYSS); it speeds up a reaction which breaks down hydrogen peroxide, a toxic chemical, into 2 harmless substances--water and oxygen.atalase is present in many kinds of living tissues. You will now test for the presence of catalase in tissues other than liver. 1  Place 2 ml of hydrogen peroxide in each of 3 clean test tubes. 2  To the first tube, add a small piece of potato. 3  To the second tube, add a small piece of chicken.
