What is an enzyme's role in chemical reactions?
An enzyme is molecule that helps other molecules enter into chemical reactions with one anotherbut is itself unaffected by these reactions. In other words, enzymes act as catalysts for organic biochemical reactions. They usually speed up the reaction.
Why does carbon play a role in the chemistry of living things?
The majority of biochemical compounds are carbon compounds.
What is acethyl CoA?
A molecule of metabolism that plays an important role in biochemical reaction is the Acetyl coenzyme A. Also called the hub of metabolism, it is used in energy production.

What is the role of enzymes in cells?
enzyme sped up the chemical reaction
Role of enzyme in chemical reaction?
Enzymes catalyze reactions - ie, increase the rate of the reaction (substantially)
How does adding an acid to an enzyme reaction effect the enzyme?
it alters the pH of the enzyme denaturing it leaving it unable to carry out it's role effectively or at all
Why does carbon play a role in the chemistry of living things?

What role do enzymes play in a reaction?
Enhancing as well as inhibiting the reaction.
How does telomerase play a role?
Telomerase is an enzyme that renews the teloromes at the end of chromosomes
What types of enzymes play a role in digestion?
Pepsin is the enzyme responsible for digestion.
What enzyme is secreted in the mouth and what role does it play in digestion?
The enzyme secreted in the mouth is amylase. Amylase breaks carbohydrates (starch) into glucose (sugar).
