Can any enzyme be used in any reaction Explain?
An enzyme cannot be used in any random reaction, the active site on an enzyme can only catalyze certain substances. Think of them as keys that only work for 1 lock.
Is an enzyme a source of energy for endergonic reactions?
an enzyme is a protein that catalyzes (increases the rates of) reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction. enzymes catalyze all kinds of reactions, including endergonic reactions.
What substrate is converted into glucose 6 phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase?
Glucose, although only the liver uses a different enzyme, called glucokinase which does the same thing.
What substance can be used to stop enzyme reaction?
prohibitors are used to enzyme reaction
What simple experiment might you perform to test the hypothesis that an enzyme combines with its substrate when it acts?
in the absences of the enzyme the reaction is very slow,and at the end of the reaction enzyme is separated that shows substrate 1st bind to the enzyme
What is the main thing an enzyme does catalyze a reaction?
The main thing that an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction, is to lower the energy of reaction.
What is the main thing an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction?
The main thing that an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction, is to lower the energy of reaction.
What a protein that can catalyze a chemical reaction?
enzyme
What is a protein that catalyze a chemical reaction?
enzyme
A protein that can catalyze a chemical reaction?
enzyme
What is hexokinase?
a hexokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of hexoses.
An enzyme will continue to catalyze a reaction until what happens?
Until the reactants run out
Is an enzyme used up by the reaction it catalyze?
Enzymes are highly efficient catalysts, and only small quantities are needed to catalyze the reaction of relatively large amounts of materials.
How is a specific enzyme able to catalyze a specific reaction in the cytoplasm of a single cell with many different enzymes?
An enzyme binds to a specific substrate (reactant) for the reaction catalyzed.
How does the enzyme catalyze the reaction?
An enzyme catalyzes the reaction by changing the shapes of the molecules that stress the bonds holding together. Therefore the bond is weaker and will break down faster.
The ability of an enzyme to catalyze a reaction is not affected by?
excess cofactor
What is a function of enzyme protein for example hexokinase?
Hexokinase is an enzyme involved in the phosphorylation of hexose (five carbon sugar). It speeds the process on adding a phosphorus to the sugar.
