How do catalysts affect the reaction s in living things?
A catalysts speeds up the reaction in living things.
Substances that promote chemical reactions in living things but not affected by the reaction are?
enzymes
Which term refers to proteins that speed up chemical reaction in living things?
enzymes
Why are enzymes used to perform hydrolysis in living systems?
Enzymes are needed to lower the activation energy so that the reaction can occur at temperatures at which living things can survive.
What term refers to protein that speed up chemical reaction in living things?
Enzyme
What are proteins that speed up a chemical reaction in living things?
A catalyst. Definition from Pretence Hall Biology: A catalyst is a protein that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
What is the function of enzymes in living thing?
The function of enzymes in living things is to catalyze (instigate, speed up) chemical reactions.
What is the effect that enzymes have on certain chemical reactions in living things?
Enzymes lower the activation energy (or free energy of activation for the very scientific) of the chemical reactions they catalyse. The enzymes can make a reaction proceed much more quickly than it otherwise would by astronomical figures, e.g. 109 times! Enzymes don't affect the equilibrium position, but they do affect the rate.
Can living things survive with out enzymes?
no
What effect do enzymes have on living things?
it speed up or slow down reaction in a substrate and aids blood clotting,digestion of food. And others....
What is the role of enzymes in chemical reactions of living thing?
Enzymes are proteins found in living things that act to catalyze specific reactions. Made up of a complex of amino acids, enzymes are part of every chemical reaction in living things. They aid in digestion, the growth and building of cells, and all reactions involving the transformation of energy. Inside the cell, enzymes create RNA and DNA by facilitating the reaction of ribose with adenosine. They also specify the sites for linking to build RNA along a DNA template.
