The active site.
The active site is the region where the enzyme and substrate bind together. It is a specific location on the enzyme where the substrate molecules can fit and undergo a chemical reaction. The active site is crucial for the enzyme to catalyze the reaction efficiently.
The activation site of an enzyme can only bind to a specific substrate.
the substance that an enzyme acts upon is subtrate
A subtrate is a reactant an enzyme acts off of. This fits into the active site and turns into the products
effect of ph and concentration of subtrate
Activation energy is the energy that must be provided to make a reaction take place. The enzyme helps speed up the reaction by lowering the activation energy making the reaction occur at a lower temperature than it would without an enzyme.So when a substrate binds to the active site of an enzyme, the shape of its molecule is lsighty changed. this makes it easier to change into a product. AS student.It lowers it.
Yes, the enzyme catalase catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen molecules. This reaction helps to protect cells from damage caused by reactive oxygen species.
The first factor is Enzyme concentration or subtrate concentration.The rate of enzyme action is directly proportional to to the availability of enzyme provided the substrate concentration unlimited.Or the rate is directly proportional to the substrate concentration if enzymes are limited but if enzyme concentration is kept constant then upto the certain level the increase in substrate amount will no longer increase the rate of enzyme action. Second factor is temperature.The rate if an enzyme action is always directly proportional to the increase in temperature but upto the specific limit called as optimum temperature. Third factor is the pH value.Enzymes can work efficiently over a narrow range of pH called as Optimum pH.A minor change in pH value can denature the enzyme.
Starch is a common substrate for the enzyme amylase. Amylase breaks down starch into sugars like maltose and dextrins through hydrolysis. This enzyme is found in saliva and pancreatic secretions and plays a key role in digesting carbohydrates in the human body.
enzyme works as a catalyst before and after the reaction it is preserved
After the enzyme has converted the substrate to the product, it is now free to accept more substrate. The enzyme does not get changed or altered in a reaction.
A substance that speeds the changing of food into a usable form* is called an enzyme. More generally, in any chemical context, a substance that speeds a reaction without itself being changed is called a catalyst._______________________________________*This changing of food into a usable form is called "digestion".
