Enzymes are the substances present in the cell in small amounts that function to speed up or catalyze chemical reactions. Characterstics of Enzymes: * Chemically,enzymes are generally globular proteins. * Enzymes are catalyst that break down or synthesize more complex compounds. * Enzymes are only present in small amounts in the cell since they are not altered during their reactions. * Enzymes are highly specific for their substrate.

How enzymes differ from toxins?
Their spelling
How does the effect of freezing differ from the effect of boiling the enzyme?
Freezing doesn't effect the enzymes since freezing does not permanently affect enzyme structure. Boiling permanently changes the structure and can change the enzymes.
What are 3 characteristics of enzymes?
Temperature/pH/Substrate Concentrate and Inhibitors
Are enzymes altered in the process of catalyzing chemical transformations?
they alter their shape in the process, but come unaltered at the end of the reaction (one of the main characteristics of catalysts)
Why do the number of DNA fragments and the length of each fragment produced by RFLP analysis differ from person to person?
As the DNA fragments results from the action of the restriction enzymes and on the other hand mutations alter the sites where the restriction enzymes react therefore there is difference in number and of length of each fragment from person to person.
What are characteristics of lysosomes?
Enzymes
How enzymes differ from toxins?
Their spelling
One way in which inorganic catalysts and enzymes differ is?
Enzymes are temperature-sensitive, inorganic catalysts are not.
Do Temperature of the cytoplasm influence the action of enzymes?
Yes, enzymes have optimal working temperatures that differ from enzyme to enzyme
What are the structural characteristics of eosinophils?
Releases cytotoxic enzymes
What are characteristics of enzymes?
they are efficient. their action is affected by the environment. they are specific.
How allosteric enzymes differ non allosteric?
Allosteric enzymes have the ability to change their conformational ensemble after binding. This changes their affinity at a different ligand binding site.
How might stomach enzymes differ from other enzymes?
Stomach enzymes would have a considerably lower optimum pH than most other enzymes found in the human body.
Which of these characteristics of a missle differ from a rocket?
Missiles have a guidance system
How do general characteristics and specific characteristics differ?
General is more big and specific is smaller and more right to the point.
How do the characteristics of height and weight differ in the way they are influenced?
no idea at all
The three p orbitals differ in which of which of the following characteristics?
The answer is Their orientation in space
