enzymes lower the amount of energy needed to make a chemical reaction. ie: catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide usin less energy. enzymes make it viable for your body to sustain itself

What is Term used for all molecule on which an enzyme act?

The term used for all molecules on which an enzyme acts is "substrate." Substrates bind to the enzyme's active site, where the enzyme catalyzes a biochemical reaction, transforming the substrate into products. Each enzyme is specific to its substrate, allowing for precise regulation of metabolic pathways.

How did qualitative chemical and enzyme tests help Avery identify DNA as the transforming principles?

Avery utilized qualitative chemical and enzyme tests to systematically eliminate potential transforming principles in his experiments with Streptococcus pneumoniae. By treating the heat-killed smooth strain with specific enzymes that degrade proteins, RNA, and other biomolecules, he found that only the enzyme that degraded DNA (DNase) eliminated the transforming ability of the rough strain. This indicated that DNA was the essential component responsible for transformation, as the other treatments did not affect the transformation process. Consequently, these tests provided strong evidence that DNA, rather than proteins or other macromolecules, was the genetic material.
