The definition of enzyme?
an enzyme is a complex protein that cause a specific chemical change in other substances, without being changed themselves.
What chemical speeds up the chemical breakdown of food?
A substance that speeds the changing of food into a usable form* is called an enzyme. More generally, in any chemical context, a substance that speeds a reaction without itself being changed is called a catalyst._______________________________________*This changing of food into a usable form is called "digestion".
What is the advantage of restriction enzyme sites being palindromic?
This condition results in a doubling of the possibility "for a specific bio-molecular 'hit'."
How do Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors work?
They work by preventing a chemical in the blood, angiotensin I, from being converted into a substance that increases salt and water retention in the body
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.
Are enzyme's specific?
because you get to watch the reaction being formed

In the equation Q mcΔT c represents .?
The specific heat of the substance being heated.
What is a substrate in the context of enzyme reaction?
Enzyme-substrate specificity means that a substrate can fit into an enzyme similar to a key fitting into a lock. The active site of the enzyme is what determines its specificity. An enzyme can hence catalyze a reaction with a specific substrate, such as amylase catalyzing starch molecules. During these reactions, the substrate is held in a precise optimum position to create and break bonds, catalyzing the molecule.
What is the definition of an emzyme?
An enzyme is a biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Enzymes are usually proteins that bind to specific molecules called substrates and help convert them into products.

Explain how the specific heat of a substance is determined?
specific heat is the amount of heat to be absorbed required to raise a substance 1 degree celsius. And by heat being absorbed, i mean energy, because specific heat is measured in joules
What are Enzymes are responsible for?
Enzyme, a substance that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without itself being altered in the process.

Do x rays work as enzyme?
No. I'm trying to follow the chain of logic that could lead to this being a reasonable thing to ask, and failing. You might want to try asking again, being more specific as to how you might possibly think X-rays could be an enzyme.
