What else can I help you with?
A chemical that breaks down food in the body into smaller bits is called what?
A digestive enzyme
What is the protein molecule that can affect a chemical reaction in the body without being affected?
That is an enzyme
What does the body fail to produce in most cases of lipidoses?
In most cases of lipidoses, the body does not produce a certain enzyme or chemical.
A protein molecule that can affect a chemical reaction in the body without being affected by the reaction is?
ENZYME
What chemical reactions within the body sometimes require special proteins called to catalyze the reaction?
The (general) name of proteins that makes chemical reactions inside the body work is 'enzyme'. Enzymes have a 'catalyst' function. There is one for each specific biological reaction.
What is an endogenous enzyme?
An endogenous enzyme is an enzyme that is naturally produced within an organism's cells to carry out specific chemical reactions. These enzymes play key roles in various metabolic processes and are essential for maintaining normal physiological functions in the body.
What is required in most of the Chemical reactions involved in metabolism?
A protein enzyme so that it will occur at body temperature.
A chemical which breaks down food in the body into smaller bits is called a what?
An enzyme is a chemical that breaks down food into smaller bits in the body. Enzymes help to speed up biological processes, such as digestion, by breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones that the body can absorb and use for energy.
What are the effects if enzyme is not present in the body?
If an enzyme is not present in the body, the specific biochemical reaction that the enzyme catalyzes will not occur efficiently or at all. This can lead to a buildup of substrates, causing metabolic imbalances and potential health issues. Enzyme deficiencies can result in conditions such as lactose intolerance or phenylketonuria.
What chemical reaction is an enzyme?
The enzyme is a biochemical catalyst.
Relate the shape of an enzyme to its ability to help in a chemical reaction?
An enzyme's specific shape allows it to bind with a substrate molecule, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. This interaction positions the substrate in a way that promotes the chemical reaction to occur more quickly and efficiently by lowering the activation energy required. The unique shape of the enzyme's active site is crucial for catalyzing the reaction with high specificity.
When does enzyme inhibition occur?
Your body is full of enzymes that do various things for you. They aid in performing chemical reactions. But, if you put something in your body (like a drug or toxin), the enzymes can get messed up and not work. So, enzyme inhibition means that an enzyme is being inhibited (messed up) by something.
