When are enzymes used?

Enzymes are used in almost every biological reaction that takes place in an organism to expedite the process.


Where does light reaction occur in a of the chloroplast?

It takes place on thylokoid membranes.Dark reaction takes place in stroma.


How does enzymes catalyze a chemical reaction?

by lowering activation energy to increase the reactionEnzymes are biological catalysts, and can hence lower the activation energy barrier of the reaction that it catalyses. Enzymes do this in several ways:1) Enzymes can provide a suitable environment for the reaction to take place. The active site of a enzyme can be highly acidic (pH


What substance takes place in an enzymatic reaction but does not change shape?

Enzymes. Substrates react with the active site of the enzyme and are broken down. Enzymes stay the same throughout the reaction.


What is the difference a reaction without an enzyme and a reaction with an enzyme?

The speed at which the reaction takes place. Many reactions, especially exergonic reactions, would take place naturally, but too slowly to help living cells carry out the work they need to do. So enzymes lower the activation energy needed to start the reaction and these reactions in the cell are speed-ed up enough for cellular work to be done.


Is more energy required for a chemical reaction in the absence of an enzyme?

Without an enzyme, the activation energy needed to start a reaction is much greater. An enzyme is a catalyst, which decreases the amount of activation energy needed to start a reaction. By doing so, it decreases the amount of time the chemical reaction takes place.


How do enzymes work what do they lower?

Enzymes function when they lower the activation energy. That means it takes less energy for the reaction to work.


What process does the following word equation represent enzymes?

The word equation "substrate + enzyme = product" represents the process of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Substrates bind to the enzyme's active site, where the reaction takes place to form products.


Where does the dark reaction of the photosynthesis occur in?

It is not dark photosynthesis.It is dark reaction.It takes place in stroma.


Are enzymes permanently changed in the chemical reactions they aer involved in?

No. Enzymes are not permanently changed in the chemical reactions in which they are involved. After the reaction, they regain their original shape and are free to catalyze another of the same reaction.


What are the substances that are released after an enzyme reaction takes place called.?

The substances released after an enzyme reaction takes place are called products. Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions by binding to substrates and converting them into these products. The specificity of the enzyme determines the nature of the products formed in the reaction.


Why are many enzymes involved in the digestive system?

There are many different types of enzymes because each type have a differently shaped active site (the place where the reaction takes place) and the reaction can only happen if the active site is the right shape for the food molecule. eg. Protease enzymes break down proteins.
