What term refers to protein that speed up chemical reaction in living things?

Enzyme


What are proteins that speed up a chemical reaction in living things?

A catalyst. Definition from Pretence Hall Biology: A catalyst is a protein that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.


What is the function of enzymes in living thing?

The function of enzymes in living things is to catalyze (instigate, speed up) chemical reactions.


Substances that promote chemical reactions in living things but not affected by the reaction are?

enzymes. Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions in living organisms without being consumed in the process. They help lower the activation energy required for a reaction to occur.


What is the effect that enzymes have on certain chemical reactions in living things?

Enzymes lower the activation energy (or free energy of activation for the very scientific) of the chemical reactions they catalyse. The enzymes can make a reaction proceed much more quickly than it otherwise would by astronomical figures, e.g. 109 times! Enzymes don't affect the equilibrium position, but they do affect the rate.


What molecule acts as a catalyst in living things?

Enzymes are the organic molecules that act as biological catalysts.


What effect do enzymes have on living things?

it speed up or slow down reaction in a substrate and aids blood clotting,digestion of food. And others....


What is the role of enzymes in chemical reactions of living thing?

Enzymes are proteins found in living things that act to catalyze specific reactions. Made up of a complex of amino acids, enzymes are part of every chemical reaction in living things. They aid in digestion, the growth and building of cells, and all reactions involving the transformation of energy. Inside the cell, enzymes create RNA and DNA by facilitating the reaction of ribose with adenosine. They also specify the sites for linking to build RNA along a DNA template.


What are enzymes and how do they affect the reaction of things?

enzymes as described by my bio teacher do "chores" in the body, when something needs to be done, our body uses enzymes. you can recognize enzymes by looking for the suffix (ase) at the end of a word. An example of an enzyme and its use is Helicase, which unwinds DNA strands at the beginning of transcription.


Can living things survive with out enzymes?

Living things rely on enzymes to carry out essential chemical reactions in their bodies. Without enzymes, these reactions would occur too slowly or not at all, leading to the inability to survive. Therefore, living things cannot survive without enzymes.
