Which molecule would most likely react withthe enzyme?

D


What would happen if most biochemical reactions are catalyzed by the same enzyme?

If an enzyme produces too much of one substance in the organism, that substance may act as an inhibitor for the enzyme at the beginning of the pathway that produces it, causing production of the substance to slow down or stop when there is sufficient amount.


Why is biochemical testing important?

A biochemical test is a test used mainly in microbiology with the main intention of detecting enzyme production. Biochemical tests can also, when used correctly, further narrow the search when looking at identifying an unknown microbe. The biochemical tests can narrow the search down to a specific genus and possibly even the species of the unknown microbe. In most cases when identification of an unknown microbe is needed, the microbe will usually be a bacterium.


Define an enzyme?

Enzymes are metabolism controlling agent. Enzymes act as a catalyst to increase the efficiency of chemical reactions without being use up of themselves.Enzymes are made up of Proteins.Without participation of enzymes reaction will proceed slowly and making life impossible.


What is the active site of ab enzyme?

The active site of an enzyme is the specific region where the substrate molecule(s) bind and undergo a chemical reaction. It is typically a small and highly specific pocket or groove that accommodates the substrate molecule(s) and facilitates the catalysis of the reaction by lowering the activation energy. The active site is formed by amino acid residues and often contains key functional groups that participate in the enzymatic reaction.

Do most hormones regulate by negative feedback mechanisms?

Yes and most biochemical path ways are regulated by negative feedback. Enough of the product made inhibits the enzyme, or biochemical pathway, from making more product/reactions.

What enzyme is more active in a human cell?

Metabolic enzymes are the most active for human cells. The reason for this is because they regulate each biochemical reaction.
