Which macromolecules are often made of three fatty acids bound to a gycerol molecule?
They are the lipids. A kind of biological macromolecule
An enzyme acts to?
Enzymes act on molecules called substrates. The kind of substrate depends on the shape of the enzyme.
What kind of proteins are biochemical catalysts?
Enzymes
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
What are the roles of enzymes?
Enzymes catalyze reactions by lowering the activation energy needed without themselves being used up in the process. Without catalysts such as enzymes, some chemical metabolic reactions would take forever to happen or not happen at all. a specific enzyme usually catalyzes only one kind of chemical reaction
When aminoacids link together what kind of molecule do they form?
Proteins and enzymes
Enzymes are examples of?
Enzymes are a special kind of bio molecules called proteins that catalyse rate of reactions.
Which macromolecules are often made of three fatty acids bound to a gycerol molecule?
They are the lipids. A kind of biological macromolecule
What kind of biological molecule is a dipeptide?
A dipeptide is a [protein] molecule that comprises [or is built from] two amino acids.
What kind of molecule is a enzyme?
Many enzymes consist of a protein and a non-protein (called the cofactor). The proteins in enzymes are usually globular. This is the tertiary structure of a protein. These globular proteins include enzymes and immunoglobins. The structures are held in place by hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges and ionic bonds.
What kind of molecule performs chemical digestion in the stomach?
Protein is the only nutrient broken down in the stomach. This is because only protease enzymes are present in the stomach acid.
An enzyme acts to?
Enzymes act on molecules called substrates. The kind of substrate depends on the shape of the enzyme.
Why are enzymes?
Enzymes are important because they initiate and regulate biological activity. Enzymes are biological catalysts which means that they speed up chemical reactions inside and outside cells.For example, the digestive enzyme amylase, found in the saliva, breaks down starch into smaller molecules so that it can be absorbed into the blood. Similarly, lipase breaks down lipids (fats) into smaller fat globules, so that they can also be absorbed into the blood. Enzymes allow the body to maintain all of its many cellular and metabolic processes.Without the assistance of digestive enzymes, many of the nutrients in food would not be made available to the body.More than 5000 enzymes are known. To name different enzymes, one typically uses the ending -ase with the name of the chemical being transformed (substrate), e.g., lactase is the enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of lactose.Each enzyme performs one specific process, so 5000 enzymes will do 5000 different things in the body.What kind of food contains more enzymes? Raw fish, meats, vegetables, fruits and specially fermented foods contain a greater amount of enzymes. hope i helped
What type of a molecule are enzymes?
Enzymes are proteins, which are made from smaller sub-units called amino acids. The amino acid sequence for various proteins is coded for by the DNA, and the amino acids are put together, according to this sequence, by the ribosomes. Enzymes have an active site, which is a particular portion of the protein that is responsible for carrying out the reaction. There are lots of enzymes in cells. Some enzymes are only expressed in certain cells where they are needed - this is partly what makes cells differentiated from other cell types. For example, liver cells will need different enzymes to skin or brain cells in order to carry out their specialised functions.
How do enzymes interact with a substance?
they break it down. enzymes are kind of like acid.
What kind of molecule is a polymer?
A polymer molecule is a macromolecule.
What kind of strand is the mRNA molecule?
The mRNA molecule encodes the protein product in the cell for translation. It is a double stranded, base-paired, ribonucleic acid that typically encodes a single gene, or protein, product.
