What else can I help you with?
What will happen to an enzyme now that is reaction completed?
The enzyme will be re-used in another reaction.
What happens or doesn't happen to an enzyme at the end of an enzymatic reaction?
The enzyme still remains and can be used again for another reaction.
What will most likely happen if the amount of enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is increased?
The reaction will speed up.
What type of food does enzyme effect?
Different enzymes can affect any types of foods. Generally a particular enzyme participates in one particular chemical reaction. Still, a persons body produces many different types of enzymes.
If you increase the amount of enzyme used what will happen to your product?
Increasing the amount of enzyme used can increase the rate of the reaction, leading to a higher production of the product, up to a certain point. However, at a certain enzyme concentration, the reaction may reach saturation, and increasing the enzyme further may not significantly change the product yield.
Rank reactions from fastest to lowest uncatalyzed reaction reaction catalyzed by enzyme A reaction catalyzed by enzyme B?
Reaction catalyzed by enzyme B > reaction catalyzed by enzyme A > uncatalyzed reaction. Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, making them faster than uncatalyzed reactions. The specificity and efficiency of enzyme-substrate interactions determine the rate of reaction catalyzed by different enzymes.
How does entropy and the enzyme's work?
The answer lies with proteins. A specific kind of protein called an enzyme lowers the activation energy of chemical reactions. Reactions that would normally take years happen in seconds. Figure 7.1 shows how this effect alters chemical equilibrium. Consider a set of chemicals that have two paths to interact as shown in figure 7.1. One reaction is a side reaction that is undesirable. The other is desirable. The enzyme lowers the activation energy for the desirable reaction making it happen quickly. The undesirable reaction does not have a chance. Also notice that the entropy of the universe is maximized by the undesirable reaction. Thus, from thermodynamic considerations, one might think that the undesirable reaction is always dominant, but because the laws of thermodynamics have no way to deal with time, this observation is seldom true. The enzyme is not violating the second law by forcing the reaction in the preferred direction. Its reaction is also spontaneous in that it also increases the entropy of the universe. By making the desired reaction happen faster, the enzyme does not give the undesirable reaction time to happen.
What is a substance or molecule that participates in a chemical reaction?
Reactant
How does an enzyme change how a reaction occurs?
An enzyme speeds up your reaction in your body.
What is a substance or molecule that participates in a chemical reaction is called?
A substance or molecule that participates in a chemical reaction is called a reactant. Reactants are the starting materials in a chemical reaction that undergo a process of transformation to yield products.
What does the enzyme graph reveal about the reaction rate of the catalyzed reaction?
The enzyme graph shows that the reaction rate of the catalyzed reaction is faster compared to the uncatalyzed reaction. This indicates that the enzyme is effectively speeding up the reaction process.
What is a specific enzyme?
A specific enzyme is an enzyme that only changes the speed of ONE reaction. (It only acts on one particular substance that happens to be compatible with that enzyme) i.e. if enzyme A is specific to reaction A, it will change the speed of reaction A. However it will have no effect on any other reaction like reaction B or C.
