It would be called a transferase. A transferase is defined as an enzyme which "transfers chemical groups between different molecules."

What is the part of the enzyme that binds with the substrate?
The part of the enzyme where the substrate attaches itself to is known as the "active site". The active site of an enzyme is a part of the molecule that has just the right shape and functional groups to bind to one of the reacting molecules. The reacting molecule that binds to the enzyme is called the substrate.
What is the family of molecules that control the cell cycle called?
Cell cycle is controlled by genes which are made up of DNA and molecules have no families but groups or classes .
Which reaction we can use isomerase enzyme?
What is the relationship between an enzyme and a reactant molecule?
Activation energy is the energy that must be provided to make a reaction take place. The enzyme helps speed up the reaction by lowering the activation energy making the reaction occur at a lower temperature than it would without an enzyme.So when a substrate binds to the active site of an enzyme, the shape of its molecule is lsighty changed. this makes it easier to change into a product. AS student.It lowers it.
The general name for an enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from ATP to a protein is?
A phosphotase
What is the difference between phosphorus and phosphatase?
Phosphorus is a chemical element, while phosphatase is an enzyme used to remove chemical groups containing phosphorus, called phosphate gr oups, which are present in many bio molecules.
Groups of atoms that bond together are called?
molecules

What is an acyltransferase?
An acyltransferase is a transferase enzyme which catalyzes the transfer of acyl groups between lipids.
What is the relationship between cells and molecules?
Atoms make up elements. groups of elements make up molecules. Groups of molecules form macromolecules (polymers) which make up cells.
What did Robert Boyle call the groups of atoms that he studied?
he called them molecules
What is alkline?
Alkaline phosphatase is also known as ALP, ALKP, ALPase and Alk Phos. It is a hydrolase enzyme which removes phosphate groups from different types of molecules.
Molecules that resemble fats but contain phosphate functional groups are called?
Phospholipids.
Phosphate groups interact with positively charged protein molecules called?
histones
The energy of the Atp molecule is stored within which phosphate groups?
The energy of Atp molecules is not stored in any of its phosphate groups. Its energy is stored between and within the bonds of the phosphate groups of [Amp], Adp and Atp molecules.
What is the difference between acetyl CoA and coenzyme A?
Coenzymes are small, organic, non-protein molecules, such as vitamins, that carry chemical groups between enzymes. They are sometimes known as cosubstrates. Coenzymes are substrates for enzymes but are not considered part of an enzyme's structure. Cofactors are non-protein chemical compounds that are bound (either tightly, as in prosthetic groups; or loosely, as in coenzymes) to an enzyme and is required for catalysis. A cofactor can be a coenzyme or a prosthetic group.
What factor is kept the same between the control and experimental groups is called?
A factor that is kept the same between the control and experimental groups is called
