Are starches with a relatively large amount of amylose digested more quickly than those with amylopectin?
Enzymes are often substrate-specific, meaning they will only catalyze a reaction with a certain molecule. The difference in structure between amylose and amylopectin causes amylase to catalyze one and not the other.
How many functions does one enyme have?
One function. A enzyme is particular about it's substrate, so the enzyme can catalyze one reaction by lowering that reaction's activation energy.
What is the main thing an enzyme does catalyze a reaction?
The main thing that an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction, is to lower the energy of reaction.
What is the main thing an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction?
The main thing that an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction, is to lower the energy of reaction.
Why some enzymes are called hydrolytic enzyme?
They catalyze hydrolysis reactions. These are reactions in which water is added to cause larger molecules (like long carbohydrates and other polymers) to break down into smaller subunits. Enzymes are typically named for the type of reaction they catalyze or for the substrate/product related to the enzymatic reaction

How is a specific enzyme able to catalyze a specific reaction in the cytoplasm of a single cell with many different enzymes?
An enzyme binds to a specific substrate (reactant) for the reaction catalyzed.

What enzyme is produced in the stomach?
specific-meaning it is only able to catalyze a reaction with a certain molecule.
A series of enzymes catalyze the reaction X-Y-Z-A product A binds to the enzyme that converts X to Y at a position remote from its active site what is substance X?
a substrate
What reaction does protease catalyze?
A kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of a substrate using Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) as the donor of the Phosphate Group which then becomes covalently linked to the substrate.
What happens to the enzymes after the substrate reacts?
It is either used again (many enzymes are used multiple times before broken down) or is broken down.
What a protein that can catalyze a chemical reaction?
enzyme
What is a protein that catalyze a chemical reaction?
enzyme
