How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
How meat tenderize work?
Meat tenderizers are proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes break the peptide bonds between proteins (amino acids) found in meat. Collagen is the complex protein that holds meat together. Some tenderizers are made of pineapple stem and papaya. These have natural proteollytic enzymes.
How pH levels affect enzymes?
It disrupts an enzymes shape and structure.
What are two things that can affect the enzymes shape?
Salt concentration and the pH! also the temperature and activations and inhibitors affect an enzymes actions
How enzymes affect reactions?
Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions to occur
What are enzymes called because they affect the speed of chemical reaction without being consumed?
enzymes are never consumed in a chemical reaction, therefore the answer to your question is that enzymes that affect the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed are indeed called enzymes.
Do enzymes affect the thermodynamics of a reaction true or false?
Enzymes have no effect on the overall thermodynamics of a reaction.
How do dogs digest raw meat?
enzymes break down food
How do enzymes affect the reaction in living things?
Enzymes act as catalysts. They speed up the reaction time.
Does enzyme affect jello?
*Do enzymes react with jello?
How does papain affect meat?
Papain effects on meat
How does heat affect the enzymes in a chemical reaction?
At excessive temperatures, enzymes usually denature or break down into other molecules, thus failing to preform their specific function.Other than that, heat does not affect enzymes much but it does increase the speed of the reaction.
