What is the name of an enzyme only acts on one substrate?
Most enzymes are substrate specific because they have a specific shapes active site in which only a specific substrate can fit.
How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
What is the name given to the substance that an enzyme works on?
An enzyme will alter its substrate although the specific substrate depends on the enzyme.
What characteristics of enzymes makes them specific for substrate?
shape of their active site make them specific for the substrates
Can an enzyme bind to nearly any molecule?
No; enzymes have substrate specificity, which means the substrate has to be a specific shape for the enzyme to bind to it.
Why must a molecule have a specific shape if it is to be a substrate of an enzyme?
Active sites of enzymes (where the substrates fit in) are substrate specific, and are complementary to the shape of the molecule (substrate). In this way, enzymes can only act on a specific substrate, since that is the only shape that it will accommodate in the active site.

Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
Enzymes have specific that determine their function?
Enzymes ARE specific for their substrate. For example: lipase breaks down lipids, not sugars.
Why do enzymes generally bind to only type of substrate?
Enzymes act only on a specific substrate due to the active site of the enzymes fits perfectly with the substrate. Like 2 puzzle pieces, they can only go together and not with anything else.
Why do enzymes generally only bind to one type of substrate?
Enzymes act only on a specific substrate due to the active site of the enzymes fits perfectly with the substrate. Like 2 puzzle pieces, they can only go together and not with anything else.

No; enzymes have substrate specificity, which means the substrate has to be a specific shape for the enzyme to bind to it.
How does an enzymes interact with a substance?
Enzymes interact with substrates by binding only with specific substrates. Enzymes will then alter the shape of the substrate in order to induce reaction.
How does an enzymes interact with a substrate?
Substrate molecules bind to enzymes at specific active sites thus activating the enzyme. The enzyme then reduces the activation energy required for a bond to form between the substrate molecules, so bonding (the reaction) proceeds at a faster rate.
Where does an enzymes join with a substrate?
The enzyme substrate complex
