Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether catalase would be categorized as an endoenzyme or an exoenzyme.

Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that catalyze the chemical reaction that takes place within the cells. Enzymes are crucial for life. According to the site of reaction, enzymes are classified into two types, namely exoenzymes and endoenzymes. Endoenzymes are intracellular enzymes that react within the cells, like urease and oxidase. Exoenzymes are extracellular enzymes that react outside the cell, for example, free coagulase, amylase, and lipase.
