Does a protein catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions in organisms called an enzyme?
Yes, proteins which catalyze chemical reactions are called enzymes.
What chemical reactions are often aided by protein catalysts known as enzymes?
These are the chemical reactions occuring in living organisms.
What type of protein regulates nearly all chemical reaction in a cell?
An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions.
What protein is produced by the body that starts chemical reactions?
Enzymes are a type of protein found in the body which initiate and increase the reaction rates of chemical reactions in the body. For example: DNA replication occurs due to the enzyme Polymerase RNA.
What compound help form cell membranes are organelles speed up chemical reactions?
Protein help form cell membranes are organelles speed up chemical reactions.
What is it when proteins speed up chemical reactions?
The Protein would be referred to as a catalyst.
Does a protein catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions in organisms called an enzyme?
Yes, proteins which catalyze chemical reactions are called enzymes.
How is a catalyst like platinum different from an enzyme?
Catalysts are compounds that change the speed of chemical reactions. An enzyme is a protein and also a catalyst. So an enzyme can be a catalyst, but a catalyst can't be an enzyme.
The enzymes that catalyze chemical reactions in living things are one type?
One type of catalyst. One type of protein. One type of biomolecule. There are many answers.
What substances are responsible for accelerating chemical reactions in cells?
The substances which cause chemical reactions in a cell are protein catalysts called enzymes. Some cause reactions that would otherwise not occur and others speed reactions up. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water by itself but since this a dangerous substance to have in cells, there is a catalyst that dissolves it 300 times faster.
A molecule either protein or RNA that acts as a catalyst in biochemical reactions?
Enzyme
Does enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst?
Yes. They speed up a reaction without being consumed in it.
What are proteins that speed up a chemical reaction in living things?
A catalyst. Definition from Pretence Hall Biology: A catalyst is a protein that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
Is protein a chemical reaction?
Proteins are chemical compounds, not reactions.
Define an enzyme?
Enzymes are metabolism controlling agent. Enzymes act as a catalyst to increase the efficiency of chemical reactions without being use up of themselves.Enzymes are made up of Proteins.Without participation of enzymes reaction will proceed slowly and making life impossible.
Large protein molecule that speeds up a chemical reaction?
Catalyst
Is meat tenderizer an enzyme or a catalyst?
Meat tenderizer is made up of protease enzymes, usually papain and bromelain, that attack the protein structure of meat and makes less tough or more tender. An enzyme is biocatalyst that is itself made of a highly structured protein or proteins thus making it a biochemical and organic material. A catalyst, on the other hand, will still speed up chemical reactions like an enzyme, but cannot be classified as a biochemical or organic material; a catalyst is an inorganic or non-biochemical material that will speed chemical reactions.
