In order to do its work, an enzyme must unite - even if ever so briefly - with at least one of the reactants. In most cases, the forces that hold the enzyme and its substrate are noncovalent, an assortment of hydrogen bonds, ionic interactions and hydrophobic interactions.

Michaelis and MENTON have proposed a hypothesis called complex hypothesis the enzyme substrate compex is an intermediate or transiet complex and bonds involved H.bond vaner waals force sometimes 2 substrates can bind to an enzyme molecule and such reaction are callad as BISUBSTRATE REACTION.

Are enzyme able to heat up molecules so that they can react?
No, this is false.
Why do enzymes react?
The molecule that an enzyme react with, works on, is called a substrate. The substrate varies from one enzyme to another. The active site is the 3-D shape on the enzyme where a substrate binds for the reaction to take place.
Why did the enzyme react to lactose but not to sucrose?
the enzyme is not the right shape for sucrose
How many of the glycolysis enzyme molecules does a cell have?
It has 2 ATP molecules.
What can change the way an enzyme acts?
Enzyme activity is affected by other molecules, temperature, chemical environment (e.g., pH), and the concentration of substrate and enzyme. Activators are molecules that encourage enzyme activity, and inhibitors are enzymes that decrease enzyme activity. Sometimes a cofactor is necessary for the enzyme to work.

IS FAT A HORMONE OR ENZYME?
No it is not a hormone or an enzyme. It is a type of molecules
What is meant by the enzyme specificity?
Enzymes work on one substrate specifically. This is why there is millions of different types of enzymes to interact with all the molecules they need to metabolically and chemically react with.
Does making an enzyme more acidic help it react?
Depends on the enzyme. Acid activity around the enzyme is the number of protons around the enzyme, which then warps and changes the electrostatic field in localized positions of the enzyme. Think of the enzyme as weirdly shaped glove with a crazy number of fingers, trying to grab specific reactant molecules and hold them in arrangements where they react with each other. The changes in electric fields cause by the acid/base balance moves the glove's "fingers" to either work better or worse in grabbing and aligning the molecules to be reacted. While most natural enzymes work in acid systems, such as digestive enzymes, there are many enzymes that need alkaline conditions to function best.
What enzyme converts the glucose into bigger molecules?
Starch is an enzyme that converts the glucose into bigger molecules. Starch is proteins and fat.
A gene cannot react chemically and form a trait without the proper?
enzyme

What causes molecules to change?
I think this refers to catalysts as these are considered not to be changed by a reaction-- sometimes this true when molecules react on the surface of a catalyst bu sometimes the catalyst does get involved in the chemical reaction- but is regenerated.
What is catalyzed by enzymes?
reactions in which enzymes are involved as catalysts.
