What is an enzyme and how does it help speed up a chemical reaction?
enzymes provide an alternative pathway for the reaction,one which is lower than the original activation energy. according to the Maxwell distribution,the number of molecules having the new activation energy is greater,thus there are more molecules which can react and therefore rate of reaction is greater,thus causing enzymes to be catalysts.
What is the relationship between an enzyme and a reactant molecule?
Activation energy is the energy that must be provided to make a reaction take place. The enzyme helps speed up the reaction by lowering the activation energy making the reaction occur at a lower temperature than it would without an enzyme.So when a substrate binds to the active site of an enzyme, the shape of its molecule is lsighty changed. this makes it easier to change into a product. AS student.It lowers it.
Which process is called as- Energy releasing metabolic process in which substrate is oxidised without an external electron acceptor?
fermentation
What 2 things can enzymes do to a substrate?
Speeds up the rates of chemical reactions by providing energy for the cell to use. Thus, the cell is not working as hard to perform the task. You need enzymes to survive. That is one of the reasons why a high temperature fever is a problem, the enzymes that help to keep you alive are denaturing (basically being rendered useless) and without them you cannot live.
Active site of enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is a "slot" where the substrate will fit. This will produce a reaction that will be faster than without the enzyme.
Can you make a chemical reaction without making the product an inert gas?
Yes, you can make a chemical reaction without making the product an inert gas. For example, if you run an electric current through Hydrogen and Oxygen, the product is Water, or H2O. Water is not an inert (noble) gas, so you can make a chemical reaction without making the product an inert gas.
How is an organic product made?
grown and prepared without chemical additives
How do enzymes speed up chemical?
Enzymes are biocatalysts that speed up the biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. It will not be consumed at the end so it can be reused for the next reaction. It binds to thte substrate molecule and aids the biochemical conversion to product without being consumed.
Does a substrate molecule need and enzyme molecule?
No substrate molecules can react on their own, however without enzymes this occurs at such a slow rate that, chemical reactions required to sustain life would not occur fast enough and the organism would die.
Increase the rate of a chemical reaction without becoming part of the product?
catalyst
What increases the rate of a chemical reaction without becoming part of the product?
a Catalyst
Increases the rate of chemical reaction without becoming part of the product?
catalyst
What makes a product organic?
If the product is produced without harmful chemicals, pesticides, preservatives, or any other bad chemical than it is organic.
Why are reactants important in a chemical reaction?
Reactants are added into the equation to form the chemical reaction. Reactants are substances that are changed into products. Without these reactants, there would be no formula, resulting in no product.
What is one product that is produced and commonly sold entirely without the use of plants?
In general, metals are refined without reference to plants. Similar would be the oil industry.
Why do chemical manufacturers often use catalysts?
Chemical manufacturers use catalysts because they speed up the rate of the reaction taking place, without effecting the chemical formation of both the reactants (which form the product) or the catalyst itself.
