What do enzymes have to help them fit their substrates the molecules that attach to the enzymes?

They actually bind to a substrate as the term reactant is usually used in chemistry. They fit into what we call an active site just like a key will fit into a lock. The key must be the correct key or the reaction will not occur. So the enzyme is said to be specific for that substrate.

What are enzymes KS2?
enzymes are molecules that help break own your food
What Specialized protein molecules that help control chemical reactions in the cell are?
i think it's enzymes
How does the enzyme subsrate help the enzyme work?
Substrates don't help enzymes to work. Without a substrate, an enzyme would have nothing to work on. A substrate is the substance acted on by an enzyme.
How do enzymes affect food?
Enzymes help in digestion of food by catalyzing the biochemcal reactions between food molecules and chemicals that helps in digestion. Enzymes speed up the biochemical reactions and act as catalysts.
How do enzymes allow metabolic chemical reactions to proceed more quickly?
Much faster. For example, there are enzymes that help exchange O2 (oxygen molecules) and CO2 (carbon-dioxide molecules). In your body, this happens in an instant, but without enzymes this process would take minutes. So without enzymes you would suffocate.
What to enzymes do?
Enzymes attach to things called substrates to help speed up the reaction. Only certain enzymes match the shape of certain substrates.
What enzymes have to help them fit their substrates the molecules thet attach to the enzyme?
Im not here to answer your homework questions for Mrs Gerehearts class. LOLOL

Enzymes can help two substrates unite to form one molecule or one substrate split into two molecules?
true
Enzymes can help two substrates unite to form one molecule or one substrate split in two molecules?
True.

What does an enzyme combine with temporarily to help form products?
Substrates (the physical reactants in the reaction) and/or cofactors (additional molecules which help the reaction)
How does the enzyme subsrate help the enzyme work?
Substrates don't help enzymes to work. Without a substrate, an enzyme would have nothing to work on. A substrate is the substance acted on by an enzyme.
What function do these molecules on their capsids . What function do these molecules perform?
they help the virus attach to host celle Gradpoint/novanet ;)
How does enzymes help digsetion?
Digestive enzymes break down macromolecules into smaller, more soluble products of digestion. Proteases, lipases, amylase are some of these enzymes that digest particular substrates. Enzymes are catalysts, so without them, nutrients would not be digested quick enough for us to survive. They are quite literally, the difference between life and death.
Some viruses have special molecules on their capsids. what function do these molecules perform?
Molecules preform a few functions. The most important function is to layer the cells.
