What happens when an enzyme loses it's shape?
Its molecular shape is altered so the substrate cannot fit to its active site
Enzyme may lose ability to function because of what?
Shape. When an enzyme is overheated the bonds between molecules that make up the enzyme breaks, this changes the shape of the enzyme's active site. And as the enzyme is highly specific and would only work on one substrate which fits its active site, the enzyme will be totally denatured and won't activate anymore if it loses its shape.
What happens to an enzyme and structure as it exceeds the typical human body temperature?
The enzyme can denature and will not function because it is no longer in the proper shape.
Does the shape of an enzyme protein determine specificity?
Shape of an enzyme specifically shape of its active site determines enzyme specificity .
What is it called when an enzymes active site loses its shape?
When this happens to a protein, it is said to denature.Denature is caused commonly by very high or low temperature,concentrated acids or bases.Denature by high temperature is irrevesible.

What is an enzyme called when it loses its 3-D shape and becomes nonfunctional?
denatured

The enzyme can denature and will not function because it is no longer in the proper shape.
What happens to an enzyme in a reaction?
Its physical shape is unaltered, ready to repeat its functional action.
What happens to a candle when it melts?
When a candle melts it gradually loses its shape, and turns into a puddle.
What happens to the rate of an enzyme controlled reaction when the substrate level is high and remains high?
the enzyme will change its shape to fit the substrate correctly
What happens if a chemical substance binds into an enzyme and alters its shape?
the rate of the reaction can be increased or decreased
Does the shape of an enzyme protein determine specificity?
Shape of an enzyme specifically shape of its active site determines enzyme specificity .
What is an enzyme called when it changes shape?
An enzyme is called a denatured enzyme once it changes its shape.
What is it called when an enzymes active site loses its shape?
When this happens to a protein, it is said to denature.Denature is caused commonly by very high or low temperature,concentrated acids or bases.Denature by high temperature is irrevesible.
An enzyme attaches to substrates at a region known as?
The Active Site. If the protein is denatured however, the active site loses shape and the substrates don't fit in the active site (subtrates are "put together" by the enzyme at the active site).
