How many enzymes have been identified?

What are enzymes and what are their function?

Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of a biological reaction. They have several properties to carry out their functions as catalysts: firstly they have active sites that induce bond-bending and stretching so as to reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They also can provide an optimal environment for the reaction to take place, i.e. a low pH environment.

One important feature of enzymes is their specificity What statements describes what this means?

Enzymes are specific: -they only speed up one type of reaction. -they will work over and over and over again until they've been denatured. -you can denature an enzyme with: heat, acid and base. -the structure of an enzyme determines its job.


Which prime number has 1 billion digits?

It has been proven that there is no largest prime number, and therefore there exists a prime number, in fact, infinitely many, greater than 10^999999999 (having a billion digits); however, no humans have actually found a specific number of that size and identified it as prime.
