What else can I help you with?
What does it means if an enzyme is a catalyst?
Enzyme will reduce the activation energy of the reaction, thereby the speed of the reaction increases or acting as a catalyst.
What is the biological catalyst that lowers the activation energy of reactions in cells?
an enzyme
Why do you need a catalyst during a enzyme reaction?
A catalyst speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur. In the case of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the enzyme serves as a biological catalyst, allowing the reaction to occur more efficiently and at lower energy levels than it would without the enzyme.
What effect does an enzyme have on a activation energy needed to start a reaction?
In chemistry it is called a catalyst. Enzymes decrease the activation energy needed to start a reaction.
What is an enzyme complex substrate?
An enzyme-substrate complex uses the reactants(substrates) and the enzyme. The enzyme is like a catalyst that reduces the required activation energy and speeds up the chemical reaction.
What is a biological catalyst protein called?
A biological catalyst protein is called an enzyme. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in living organisms by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
How can activation energy be reduced?
Allows more molecules to overcome the activation enthalpy, so there are more molecules available to collide with each other, increasing the chance of a successful collision, increasing the number of collisions per second and with it the rate of reaction.
An enzyme is a special kind of catalyst that works to do what?
An enzyme is a special kind of catalyst that works to accelerate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. This allows reactions to happen at a faster rate, making biological processes more efficient.
What is a protein molecule that acts as a biological catalyst to speed up chemical reactions by lowering the energy of activation?
The presence of catalysts, usually enzymes.
How does an enzyme catalyze a chemical reaction in regards to activation energy?
Any catalyst will make a chemical reaction easier or quicker to happen by lowering the activation energy. On a energy diagram, you will see a lower "hill" for activation energy, which corresponds to less energy required to begin the reaction.
Is an enzyme an organic catalyst?
Yes - but biological catalyst would be an even better description.
What will most likely happened if an appropriate enzyme is added to a chemical reaction?
The enzyme will act as a catalyst, a compound that lowers that activation energy of the reaction, and therefore, increase the rate of the reaction.
