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.

How does enzyme accelerate a metabolic reaction?
by lowering the activation energy needed
What is a type of protein or RNA molecule that speeds up metabolic reactions in plants and animals without being permanently changed or destroyed?
Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up metabolic reaction rates by lowering the reaction's activation energy. Proteins and RNA molecules can both function as enzymes.
Which component is released from the active site of an enzyme during a chemical reaction?
Product
What enzyme is more active in a human cell?
Metabolic enzymes are the most active for human cells. The reason for this is because they regulate each biochemical reaction.
What is the name of region at which reactants bind to an enzyme during a biochemical reaction?
the cell membrane

How enzyme accelerate metabolic reaction?
Enzymes lower the activation energy required to start the reaction.
What compounds catalyze metabolic reactions?
They are called enzymes; each one is specific for one metabolic reaction.
FAD co enzyme participates in which type of reactions?
Metabolic Oxidation- Reduction Reaction
What end product from a metabolic pathway binds to an enzyme involved in a reaction at the beginning of the pathway. changing the shape of the active site and preventing the enzyme from?
Feedback inhibition
What is a type of protein or RNA molecule that speeds up metabolic reactions in plants and animals without being permanently changed or destroyed?
Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up metabolic reaction rates by lowering the reaction's activation energy. Proteins and RNA molecules can both function as enzymes.
What is the chemical that helps a chemical reaction without being consumed during a reaction?
ENzyme
What is the substance on which an enzyme acts during a chemical reaction?
a catalyst
Rank reactions from fastest to lowest uncatalyzed reaction reaction catalyzed by enzyme A reaction catalyzed by enzyme B?
A reaction catalyzed by enzyme a reaction cataly by enzyme b uncatalyzed reaction
Compare a structure of an enzyme before and after a reation?
An enzymes structure is not affected by a reaction. The enzyme has the same structure at the end of the reaction as it did before it took place. Note: Enzyme structures may change during the reaction itself but will return to their original shape etc when the reaction is complete.
Which component is released from the active site of an enzyme during a chemical reaction?
Product
