What in tears act as a chemical barrier and destroy pathogens on the surface of the eye?
You have the enzyme called as lysozyme. It is the enzyme that act as a bacteriostatic substance. It adversely affect the bacteria on the surface of the eye.
What is the name given to the substance that an enzyme works on?
An enzyme will alter its substrate although the specific substrate depends on the enzyme.
What are the molecules that enzymes act on called?
The molecule upon which an enzyme acts is called the substrate.
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.
Enzyme that digests starch will not act upon the sugar sucrose this fact is an indication that enzymes are?
Specific
Substance that enzyme act upon?
They are known as reactants or substrates.
The molecule on which an enzyme acts is called an?
The substance on which enzymes act are called substrates.

Will an enzyme that hydrolyzes protein act upon starch?
No. They are substrate specific.

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.
Is water a substrate?
A substrate is the substance in which an enzyme act, or a process occurs. For example lactose is a substrate, but water is not.
Enzyme that digests starch will not act upon the sugar sucrose this fact is an indication that enzymes are?
Specific
Minerals that act to assist enzyme activity are called?
Co-Factors
Why is an enzyme called lock and key model?
The lock and key model, though popular, is outdated and not entirely accurate. Regardless, it was used because it provides a simple visual analogy to imagine the enzyme (the enzyme, or key, simply inserts itself into the lock, the molecule to be broken down by the enzyme [known as a substrate]). The more accurate model is now the "Induced fit model", because enyzmes and substrates (the chemicals they act upon) are not naturally able to fit into each other. Instead, each substance changes its shape a little to accomodate the other.
An enzyme acts to?
Enzymes act on molecules called substrates. The kind of substrate depends on the shape of the enzyme.
