Molecule is the general term used to describe atoms connected by chemical bonds. Every combination of atoms is a molecule. Compounds happen with atoms from different elements. So, all compounds are molecules, because they have bonds between the atoms, like in water (H2O).

What enzyme strips hydrogen atoms from organic molecules?
dehydrogenase
How can induced fit influence the specificity of an enzyme?
Induced fit: is a more recent theory which suggests that the substrate attaches to the enzyme in a relatively accurate fit, then the enzyme moulds around it, then continues the chemically complex reaction. Lock and Key Mechanism: As obvious as the name states, the lock and key model is simply the substrate fitting acutely into the enzyme with no adjustments required to the enzyme. K.G. ;)
What chemical family is lipase?
Lipase is an enzyme that breaks lipid molecules down into a glycerol molecule and fatty acids. It is a protein.
Mix hydrogen peroxide and liver?
The enzyme in the liver (catalase) decomposes the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen molecules.
What molecules initiate the citric acid cycle by reacting with oxaloacetate?
Oxaloacetate [oxaloacetic acid], under the strict guidance of the enzyme 'citrate synthase', is reacted with the co-enzyme 'Acetyl-CoA' to form the products CoA and citric acid.
IS FAT A HORMONE OR ENZYME?
No it is not a hormone or an enzyme. It is a type of molecules
What enzyme converts the glucose into bigger molecules?
Starch is an enzyme that converts the glucose into bigger molecules. Starch is proteins and fat.
How many of the glycolysis enzyme molecules does a cell have?
It has 2 ATP molecules.
What can change the way an enzyme acts?
Enzyme activity is affected by other molecules, temperature, chemical environment (e.g., pH), and the concentration of substrate and enzyme. Activators are molecules that encourage enzyme activity, and inhibitors are enzymes that decrease enzyme activity. Sometimes a cofactor is necessary for the enzyme to work.
What does the enzyme ATPsynthetatse do?
ATPynthetatse is an enzyme that rejoins phosphates back to the adenosine in ATP molecules.
What enzyme builds mRNA molecules bases on the code in DNA?
The enzyme is RNA polymerase.
How many substrate molecules does a typical enzyme act on per second?
A single enzyme molecule can act on about 1000 substrate molecules per second.
Why does increase enzymes concentration promote enzyme activity?
Increasing enzyme concentration increases the number of collisions between the enzyme molecules and the substrate molecules. This increases the number of successful collisions and the number of enzyme-substrate complexes. Therefore the reaction rate is increased as well and enzyme activity is promoted.
Which enzyme will break down starch into smaller monosaccharide molecules?
Alpha amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into it's individual glucose monosaccharide molecules.
What chemical can break up large molecules?
Enzyme
The number of molecules with which an enzyme reacts is the?
turnover number
What breaks down fat?
Fats are made up of lipid molecules. Lipase is the enzyme that breaks up the lipid molecules.
