There is no catalyst that is consumed in reaction which it is catalysing. In other reactions, eg. breakdown reactions, they do not catalyse their own breakdown!
Enzymes are (bio)catalysts mainly as special protein molecules. In the reactions that ARE catalized they are not consumed, otherwise they were not 'catalists' but 'reactants'.
What else can I help you with?
What is the chemical that helps a chemical reaction without being consumed during a reaction?
ENzyme
At the conclusion of an enzyme catalyzed reaction what does the the enzyme do?
I think it frees itself from the product and is ready to be reused.
Two things you can measure when investigating the rate of enzyme controlled reaction?
When investigating the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction, two measurable factors are the amount of product formed over time and the decrease in substrate concentration over time. By monitoring the rate at which product accumulates or substrate is consumed, researchers can determine the enzyme's activity and efficiency under varying conditions. Additionally, factors such as temperature and pH can be varied and measured to assess their impact on the reaction rate.
What is a biological cayalyst?
A biological catalyst is a substance, usually a protein (such as an enzyme), that increases the rate of a biochemical reaction without being consumed in the process. It lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, making the reaction proceed more quickly.
Is an enzyme consumed in a reaction?
No, enzymes are not consumed in a reaction. Instead, they facilitate and speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed. Enzymes remain unchanged and can be used repeatedly.
What happens to an enzyme after a biochemical reaction?
After a biochemical reaction, the enzyme remains unchanged and is free to catalyze more reactions. Enzymes are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly, making them efficient catalysts.
Rank reactions from fastest to lowest uncatalyzed reaction reaction catalyzed by enzyme A reaction catalyzed by enzyme B?
Reaction catalyzed by enzyme B > reaction catalyzed by enzyme A > uncatalyzed reaction. Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, making them faster than uncatalyzed reactions. The specificity and efficiency of enzyme-substrate interactions determine the rate of reaction catalyzed by different enzymes.
Does vmax increase with increasing amount of enzyme?
No, Vmax remains constant regardless of the amount of enzyme present. Vmax represents the maximum rate of reaction that can be achieved when all enzyme active sites are saturated with substrate. Once all enzyme active sites are filled, increasing the enzyme concentration further will not increase the reaction rate.
What has no effect on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
Enzyme concentration has no effect on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction after reaching a saturation point where all enzyme active sites are occupied. At this point, adding more enzyme will not increase the reaction rate further.
What will most likely happen if the amount of enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is increased?
The reaction will speed up.
In a bio-chemical reaction what are the bio-molecules which are not consumed yet their presence is required?
In every biochemical reaction in the body, a specific enzyme is required to catalyze (speed up) the reaction. These enzymes are required for the reaction to take place, but are not consumed themselves in the reaction.
What is the minimum enzyme concentration required to initiate a reaction?
The minimum enzyme concentration needed to start a reaction varies depending on the specific enzyme and reaction conditions. In general, a higher enzyme concentration can lead to a faster reaction rate, but there is no fixed minimum concentration that applies universally. The amount of enzyme required to initiate a reaction is typically determined through experimentation and optimization.
