What else can I help you with?
What is the active site for an enzyme?
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
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.
What happens to an enzyme when it is heated?
When an enzyme is heated it is denatured, which means that it can no longer function.
What is part of an enzyme's usual derived from?
Usually an enzyme is named after it's function.
What can affect a biological function?
enzyme
What switchs on enzyme activity while what can switch off or reduce enzyme activity?
Enzyme activators like cofactors or substrates can switch on enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and promoting its function. Conversely, inhibitors can switch off or reduce enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and preventing its normal function.
What are the three factors that impact enzyme function?
The three factors that impact enzyme function are temperature, pH level, and substrate concentration.
Why do enzymes lose their function when they are subject to extreme temperature changes?
When an enzyme is exposed to high temperatures, the enzyme will denature or unfold. Therefore, the enzyme will not function properly.
What happens when an enzyme is renatured?
When an enzyme is renatured, it regains its three-dimensional structure and functional properties after being denatured by heat or chemicals. Renaturation allows the enzyme to return to its active form and resume its biological function.
What determine an enzymes function and how many function does one enzyme have?
two
What is part is an enzyme's name usually derived from?
Usually an enzyme is named after it's function.
How enzyme function in the liver would be affected in a person with cirrhosis?
The enzyme function would not be as effecient, causing the liver to produce more enzymes.
