A biological catalyst or chemical reaction facilitator is known as?
A biological catalyst increases the rate of biological processes/biological reactions. A biological catalyst (enzymes) act to lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction. Enzymes are bilogical catalysts that bind or separate substrates (chemicals the catalysts act on). the 'lock and key' model suggests that the enzyme doesn't change its form and only similarly shaped substrates can fit into the lock or cleft. it is similar to the toy children play with where you must fit the circular block into the circular hole and so on. The 'induced fit' model says thatthe enzyme molds itself around the substrate and separates or binds it from there. hope i helped!
What function does heat play in cellular respiration?

What essential function did lipids play in the origin of life?
Anaerobic fermentation
What function does the chloroplast play in plants?
Involve in photosynthesis to produce food.
Organisms such as bacteria and fungi digest macromolecules in the environment this best describes the important roll these organisms play in what?
Fungi digest macromolecules by extracellular enzyme activity.
What is enzyme-substrate specificity?
It means that an enzyme will only work on one specific substrate at a time, because no meaningful biochemical activity can occur without their absolute specificity.We are talking about 30,000 bio-enzymatically controlled Biochemical reactions.In the Chem Lab a product yield of 60 percent is a huge achievement.In the Body anything less than a 100 percent yieldwould swiftly result in the Cell being overwhelmed by the useless by-products of these 30,000 biochemical Reactions.
How does an enzyme recognize its substrate?
On one part of an enzyme is an active site (which is what the substrate binds to) that is shaped a certain way, say a triangle. A substrate that's in the shape of a square won't fit onto the triangle/the enzyme - but a substrate that has an indent in the shape of a triangle will. The way an enzyme recognizes its substrate is if it can attach itself to the enzyme's active site.

What is a respiratory substrate?
Respiration is oxidation of foods, a catabolic process in living cells which liberate energy for this purpose of liberation of energy the compond used or oxidised is called respiratory substrate. Carbohydrates are preffered as respiratory substrate but some times protein and fat also play the role of respiratory substrate
What is the difference between the function of glycogen amylase and cellulose?
All these substances play a major role in the Enzyme activity in plants and animals. Glycogen is the source of energy for the muscles of the body of the human body. Amylase is an enzyme that helps in the making of starch for plant use. Cellulose on the other hand is the primary sugar that allows plants to be able to make their own food

What is the function of a soccerball?
to play soccer
What is the function of flutes?
To play music.
What is the Effect of mineral and vitamin deficiency on enzyme activity?
many vitamins and minerals play crucial roles in many metabolisms as coenzyme or cofactor. Deficiency of those lower the related-enzyme activity.
