Enzymes are basically catalysts, and they act just how you'd expect a catalyst to.

The primary function of an enzyme or any biological catalyst is to?
Enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering activation energy, and are not used up in the reaction.
Name given to a substance used to speed up chemical reaction?
dis is the eziest question evva.....enzyme
What should not be used to indicate a chemical reaction?
Change of shape can not be used to indicate a chemical reaction has happened. Examples of evidence of a chemical reaction are changes in odor or color.
Can enzymes be re-used?
Yes. An enzyme is a catalyst. The definition of a catalyst is "A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction, without being consumed or produced by the reaction." Therefore an enzyme is a catalyst and can be re-used. There are exception's in extreme tempartures of course.
What will happen to an enzyme now that is reaction completed?
The enzyme will be re-used in another reaction.
Is it true that Enzymes are not consumed during a chemical reaction?
Correct. Enzymes help to speed up chemical reactions. They may speed them up, costing them some energy, but they are never used up.
What happens to an enzyme after it catalyzes a chemical reaction?
Enzymes are not used up in a chemical reaction. Usually, the enzyme will "reset" and be ready to use in another reaction. This is due to the fact that enzymes are proteins, and their shape is what they use in a chemical reaction. Initially, the enzyme has a particular shape. Something happens to the enzyme (usually a shape change, called a conformation change, brought on by the presence of two or more chemical reactants), and the enzyme catalyzes the reaction. After the reaction is catalyzed, the product is released, and the enzyme can "relax." This means it goes back to its normal shape, ready to do it all over again.
What do enzymes to do a chemical reaction?
Enzymes are catalysts in a chemical reaction, they are used in chemistry to increase the speed of a specific chemical reaction. A single enzyme will not speed up multiple chemical reactions, usually it is limited to one reactant.
How does the interaction between an enzyme and its substrate change a chemical reaction?
Enzymes speed up the chemical reactions because when it forms a complex with its substrates, it reduces the activation energy that the reaction needs to proceed. Remember that the reaction itself is not altered, only the rate of reaction, and that the enzyme is not used or altered in the reactions.
What does a enzyme do in chemical reaction?
An enzyme generally lowers the activation energy necessary for a reaction to proceed. This in turn may cause more of the reactants to go to products.
What substance can be used to stop enzyme reaction?
prohibitors are used to enzyme reaction
