What is the definition of a product in biology?
The result that is released after a enzyme & substrate have had a chemical reaction.
What is the specific substance being acted upon by an enzyme?
fit into the active site on the enzyme
The active site of an enzyme is the location of substrate attachment?
The active site of an enzyme is a small port where substrate molecules fit. When an enzyme binds with a substrate, a chemical reaction occurs.
Describe the roles of a catalyst and substrate in a chemical reaction?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction. Catalysts work by lowering a reaction's activation energy.A substrate is a reactant of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
What is the catalytic region of enzyme?
The catalytic region of an enzyme is the place where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.
Why are enzymes three dimensional shape so important?
An enzyme's three dimension shape is important to the binding that occurs between the enzyme itself and its specific substrate, forming the enzyme-substrate complex. In order for the enzyme to create a reaction it is important that the shape of the enzyme binds the substrate to the active site where the chemical reaction occurs. One other thing to consider is the shape that the enzyme takes that allows only its specific substrate to bind and not any other molecule.
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
What does Active Site mean?
The active site on an enzyme is the place where the enzyme binds the substrate and the chemical reaction takes place that changes the substrate(s) into the products of the reaction.
What happens to the enzyme after the substrate is changed?
enzyme works as a catalyst before and after the reaction it is preserved
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 do you know about the consumption of an enzyme during a metabolic reaction in the body?
Enzymes are specialized proteins that facilitate chemical reactions in the body by lowering their activation energy, or the energy required to initiate a reaction. They are never consumed by the reaction themselves; therefore, enzymes can be re-used many times. Enzymes are specific to a particular substrate and usually facilitate the reaction by undergoing a conformational change when encountering the substrate, transforming it into a product or an intermediate.
What is the definition of a product in biology?
The result that is released after a enzyme & substrate have had a chemical reaction.
How is a specific enzyme able to catalyze a specific reaction in the cytoplasm of a single cell with many different enzymes?
An enzyme binds to a specific substrate (reactant) for the reaction catalyzed.
What enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction is known as?
All enzyme's are catalysts for certain chemical reactions. Each enzyme will only work with a certain substrate one analogy being that the enzyme is a key and the substrate is a keyhole, and each enzyme has a unique enzyme.
What the definition of Substrate?
The reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Or, A substance with which a enzyme binds itself and form a complex product, a chemical reaction takes place between enzyme and substrate.
What is the specific substance being acted upon by an enzyme?
fit into the active site on the enzyme
In an enzyme catalyzed reaction what is the reactant called?
Generally in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the reactant is called the substrate, which in association with the enzyme forms the product.
