What is the loss of structure of an enzyme due to the increase in temperature called?
This is called denaturing.
Autolysis or self-destruction of cells would be caused by an enzyme called?
lysosomal enzymes
What does enzymes functions depend on?
The function of an enzyme is dependent on the shape of the enzyme. The structure and shape determines what the enzyme can do.
Compare a structure of an enzyme before and after a reation?
An enzymes structure is not affected by a reaction. The enzyme has the same structure at the end of the reaction as it did before it took place. Note: Enzyme structures may change during the reaction itself but will return to their original shape etc when the reaction is complete.
Why does the structure of a protein or enzyme determine its function?
Yes.

A noncompetitive inhibitor has a structure that?
A noncompetitive inhibitor has a structure that does not resemble the substrate structure. A compound that binds to the surface of an enzyme, and changes its shape so that a substrate cannot enter the active site is called a noncompetitive inhibitor.
What effect does the lock and key process have on the enzyme structure?
Easily Explained thusly: When the key is in the lock the Enzyme has one Structure, and when the key is not in the lock the Enzyme has another Structure. Note that the presence of a key may either activate or deactivate an Enzyme, depending upon the conditions.
What is the structure of the liver?
the liver is part of your digestive system it contains an enzyme called milliphosiphis. it is the tube that is connected to the anus.
What happen to the enzyme after the enzyme is boiled?
They are said to be denatured.Their tritiary structure is lost.
What is the structure labeled A in each panel?
An enzyme
Do the amino acids that are in the active site of an enzyme have to be near each other in the enzyme's primary structure?
no
What is an enzyme called when it changes shape?
An enzyme is called a denatured enzyme once it changes its shape.
Changes in pH or temperature decrease enzyme activity because bonds break and the enzyme returns to its tertiary structure?
Changes in pH or temperature decrease enzyme activity because bonds b reak and the enzyme returns to it's PRIMARY structure. (not tertiary)
What do enzymes have to help them fit their substrates the molecules that attach to the enzyme?
Enzymes are proteins that have a very specific structure. The region on the surface of an enzyme that is responsible for binding and converting the subtract into the product is called the active site.
