The enzyme which catalyse the breakdown of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ as :
$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{O}_2$
is called Catalase which have prosthetic group Haem. This enzyme is activated by iron. The breakdown occurs inside peroxisome during photorespiration.
