they are efficient.
their action is affected by the environment.
they are specific.
What else can I help you with?
What are the characteristic of peroxisomes?
Enzymes
What characteristic allows enzymes to function a specific way?
Each enzyme has a characteristic shape
A characteristic shared by all enzymes hormones and antibodies is?
the shape of there molecules :)
A characteristic shared by all enzymes hormones antibodies is that their function is determined by the?
shape of the molecules
Does all enzymes work well on every temperature?
Far from it. Most enzymes only work well in a characteristic, rather narrow range of temperatures.
If Pectinase only breaks down pectin and It has no effect in cellulose What term is used to describe this characteristic of enzymes?
Enzymes are substrate specific; meaning that their active site only allows for a certain substrate to bind - in this case, pectin, and the enzyme has no effect on any other biological molecules
What characteristic allows enzymes to function in a specfic way?
Enzymes have a specific three-dimensional structure that allows them to interact with specific substrates and catalyze specific chemical reactions. This specificity is determined by the arrangement of amino acids in the active site of the enzyme, which is complementary to the shape and chemical properties of the substrate.
Characteristic shared by all enzymes involved in protein digestion is that all are?
They break down food and they both work closeley with insulin.
What is the primary characteristic of enzymes, particularly in terms of their composition and function, that sets them apart from other types of proteins?
The primary characteristic of enzymes that sets them apart from other proteins is their ability to catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Enzymes are composed of amino acids and have specific active sites that bind to substrates, allowing them to speed up biochemical reactions in living organisms.
What are two factors that are affected when an enzyme is added to a chemical reaction?
- with enzymes the rate of reaction is higher- an important characteristic of an enzyme is the specifity
What is the characteristic of the lipase enzymes?
Lipases perform a process called emulsification which breaks fat globules into smaller particles. This gives more surface area for the enzymes to then break the oils into fatty acids.
Does the genotype regulate the enzymes present in an organism?
Yes, the genotype of an organism determines the specific enzymes that will be produced based on the genetic information encoded in its DNA. Variations in the genotype can lead to differences in enzyme activity and expression levels, which can impact the overall metabolic processes and phenotype of the organism.
