How enzymes function in chemical reactions?

Answer 1

Enzymes are bio-molecules that act as catalyts for different reactions. They are made up of amino acids. For each reaction, there is a specific enzyme. During each enzymatic reaction, there are molecules at the beginning called substrates which are converted into products. They basically carry out every reaction happening within the body, hence they sustain life.

Answer 2

Chemical digestion as well as other chemical processes such as respiration (the release of energy from food) and photosynthesis (plants making their own food) happen because of enzymes. Enzymes are catalysts that are found in living things. They increase the rate of a reaction without undergoing any permanent chemical changes themselves and they also help substances to become new substances.

'

Enzymes are proteins which are produced by cells. They are specific - this means that each enzyme only works on one substance.

A* extra if you're interested - Digestive enzymes are only one type of enzyme. Each chemical process in the body is controlled by a different enzyme.

Answer 3

to act as catalysts, speeding up the reaction
Enzymes act as catalyst for the reaction by providing the proper places for molecule to meet and lessening the energy needed to complete the reaction. Otherwise, reactions could only happen if - by coincidence - all the molecules collided in the proper places with the right amount of energy.

Answer 4

the purpose is to accelerate the process of the reaction...

Answer 5

enzymes provide away to speed up life's essential function's without raising the temperature of the organism

Answer 6

The purpose of an enzyme is to allow the cell to carry out chemical reactions very quickly.

Answer 7

Enzymes act as a catalyst or substance that lowers the energy process in a chemical reaction.

Answer 8

To speed up a reaction. It does so by lowering the activation energy.

Answer 9

1) To bind the precursor molecules and to position them for - 2) the SPECIFIC reaction of any one enzyme that produces 100 % yield of the end-product(s).

Answer 10

They act as catalyst is a number of organic reactions. The most popular of these is saliva acting as an enzyme in the process of digestion.
