A catalyst is a substance that speeds up other chemical reactions but is not consumed or permanently altered in that reaction. Basically the catalyst just makes it easier for the other chemicals to react with each other so that the reaction will proceed faster. Enzymes are biological catalysts(catalysts that are created by living organisms). So an enzyme catalyzed reaction is when chemicals are reacting with each other and an enzyme is used to catalyze(speed up) the reaction.

∙ 14y agoCatalysis is the process by which a chemical reaction is either slowed or sped up. Chemicals that result in such effects are called catalysts. Enzyme is the biological term for catalyst, therefore enzymes change the rate at which a reaction occurs.

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
What is the main thing an enzyme does catalyze a reaction?
The main thing that an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction, is to lower the energy of reaction.
What is the main thing an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction?
The main thing that an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction, is to lower the energy of reaction.
What happens to the enzyme after the reaction is complete?
enzyme works as a catalyst before and after the reaction it is preserved
What will happen to an enzyme now that is reaction completed?
The enzyme will be re-used in another reaction.
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
What does Active Site mean?
The active site on an enzyme is the place where the enzyme binds the substrate and the chemical reaction takes place that changes the substrate(s) into the products of the reaction.
How does an enzyme change how a reaction occurs?
An enzyme speeds up your reaction in your body.
What substance can be used to stop enzyme reaction?
prohibitors are used to enzyme reaction
What is a specific enzyme?
A specific enzyme is an enzyme that only changes the speed of ONE reaction. (It only acts on one particular substance that happens to be compatible with that enzyme) i.e. if enzyme A is specific to reaction A, it will change the speed of reaction A. However it will have no effect on any other reaction like reaction B or C.

What will happen to an enzyme now that is reaction completed?
The enzyme will be re-used in another reaction.
How does a enzyme increase the speed of a reaction?
The enzyme reduces the activation energy of the reaction, therefore chemical reaction speeds are increased.
What chemical reaction is an enzyme?
The enzyme is a biochemical catalyst.
Why does it happen enzyme after it participates in a reaction?
After the enzyme has converted the substrate to the product, it is now free to accept more substrate. The enzyme does not get changed or altered in a reaction.
