Yes. They are used as kind of cookie cutters to break chemical bonds and form new ones.
Every cell has specific enzymes to make a specific molecule. Sometimes they can run in chains, so you will have 3 enzymes acting upon molecules & elements to produce a final result.

Which statement will be describe how enzymes effect chemical reactions?
Enzymes lower the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction.
How are enzymes related to macromolecules and chemical reactions?
enzymes catalyze reactions that bind or break chemical bonds. catalyze means it speeds up the preparation time so the reaction can happen sooner/quicker.
How do enyzmes weaken the bonds in substances?
I believe it requires more activation energy to start the reaction
What enzymes found in saliva breaks chemical bonds between the sugar monomers in starches?
AMYLASEIm taking the class right know in e2020!!
What are enzymes and what are they made of?
Enzymes are biological catalysts. This means they break down substances without being changed themselves. This is why they can be used over and over again. Enzymes are made from amino acids joined together by different bonds, one of the type of bonds being hydrogen bonds. As enzymes have hydrogen bonds it means they are sensitive to pH and temperature. A temperature too low will mean that the molecules (substrate) which should fit to an area on the enzyme called the active site cannot do so as hydrogen bonds are stronger in colder conditions. (Enzymes change slightly as the substrate fits on to it) This would mean that the enzyme is less able to change shape slightly because the stronger hydrogen bonds make the enzyme less flexible. Temperatures which are too high for the enzyme (if they exceed the perfect temperature, called the optimum temperature, of the enzyme) denature the enzymes, meaning that they are unable to catalyse chemical reactions, this is due to the high temperature causing the hydrogen bonds which bond the amino acids together to beak, causing the enzymes active site to change shape, meaning that the substrate can no longer fit into the active site meaning that the rate of reaction of the chemical reaction is lower. There is a point when the hydrogen bonds, once broken, are no longer able to re-bond, meaning the enzyme could never "re-nature". This is very bad if the chemical reaction is necessary. If the pH which the enzyme is exposed to is not its optimum the rate of reaction will be slower as the pH changes the molecular shape of the enzyme, and can have an effect on the intermolecular forces of the Hydrogen bonds (it can weaken or strengthen them)
The breaking down of chemical bonds in nutrients by digestive enzymes is called?
digestion
Which statement will be describe how enzymes effect chemical reactions?

What effect do enzymes have on the activation of a chemical reaction?
why i get to thes bage
How are enzymes related to macromolecules and chemical reactions?
enzymes catalyze reactions that bind or break chemical bonds. catalyze means it speeds up the preparation time so the reaction can happen sooner/quicker.
What is the effect of infrared energy on matter?
It increases the vibration of chemical bonds.
How does enzyme produce this effect?
WE do not know what effect you are asking about, but enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts, they speed up chemical reactions.
When proteins are made from amino acids is it a chemical or physical change?
Chemical, enzymes break peptide bonds in proteins. Thus, separating the amino acids and breaking apart the molecule.
How do enzymes weaken the bonds in subtrates?
the bonds get weaker
Does the action of enzyme produce physical or chemical changes in the proteins?
yes chemical,enzymes break bonds in proteins Thus separating the amino acid and breaking apart the molecule
Does the action of the enzyme produce physical or chemical changes in the proteins?
