Region where enzyme and subtrate bind?

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.


Can The activation site of an enzyme bind to a specific subtrate?

The activation site of an enzyme can only bind to a specific substrate.


What is the substance an enzyme act upon called?

the substance that an enzyme acts upon is subtrate


What does a substrate do?

A subtrate is a reactant an enzyme acts off of. This fits into the active site and turns into the products


9th grade level biology question. Temperature and what can affect enzyme activity?

effect of ph and concentration of subtrate


What is the relationship between an enzyme and a reactant molecule?

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.


Is the enzyme cataylse the break down of a subtrate molecules?

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.


What are the 3 factors that can change the rate of enzyme reaction?

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.


What substances is a subtrate of amylize?

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.


What happens to the enzyme after the substrate is changed?

enzyme works as a catalyst before and after the reaction it is preserved


Why does it happen enzyme after it participates in a reaction?

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.


What chemical speeds up the chemical breakdown of food?

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".
