How does the enzyme subsrate help the enzyme work?

Substrates don't help enzymes to work. Without a substrate, an enzyme would have nothing to work on. A substrate is the substance acted on by an enzyme.


At what pH would the enzyme be most effective?

It depends on what type of Enzyme. Enzymes have different optimum pH depending on the environment they work in, for example and enzyme in the stomach of a human would have a pH of about 2 but an enzyme in human saliva has an optimum pH of 5.6.


What determine enzymes' functions?

The shape and size of the enzyme determines it's function because they're extremely specific. An enzyme will only work with one type of substrate.

Why can a single enzyme only work on only one type of molecule?

Enzyme increase the rate of reaction by decreasing its activation energy. Physically they provide the surface for the reactant to react now as the reactant have to attach on enzyme surface then it is to be ensure that the enzyme should have affinity or its surface should be like that it only fix the specific reactant in it so that only that reactant proceed the reaction. It just work like lock and key mechanism as only specific key can be fit in its lock to save the product individuality in same way enzymes are specific for their substrate so as to maintain the individulatiy of reaciton and product.

Does enzyme work?

The enzymes can only work under certain conditions. The temperature and the pH level will denature the enzyme and make it not work.

What enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction is known as?

All enzyme's are catalysts for certain chemical reactions. Each enzyme will only work with a certain substrate one analogy being that the enzyme is a key and the substrate is a keyhole, and each enzyme has a unique enzyme.
