That depends on weather it is combining or separating the two substances. If it combining the two, then the 2 substances will both attach to the enzyme's active site (where the combination/separation occurs), where the enzyme will then just squeeze the 2 substances together. If it is separating the two, the the substances will again attach to the active site, but the enzyme will then contort itself so that the items will be separated by simple force. You may also want to note the an enzyme is NEVER used up after reactions. Individual enzymes undergo many reactions.
enzymes have a specific role, and it is to break down molecules.
the definition of a catalyst is 'a chemical that speeds reaction time up, or is needed for a chemical reaction w/o using itself up.
enzymes fit the definition of a catalyst. enzymes break down molecules (with a reaction) and can be used again to break down more molecules.
A)
The enzyme does not actively take part in the reaction. It just indicates that the reaction is complete.
B)
Enzymes react with the substrate molecules to form products and become denatured in the process.
C)
Enzymes ensure that the reaction continues without inhibition even if conditions such as temperature and pH are changed.
D)
The products of the reaction are released from the active sites of the enzyme, allowing other substrate molecules to bind with the sites.
Catalysts are compounds that change the speed of chemical reactions. An enzyme is a protein and also a catalyst. So an enzyme can be a catalyst, but a catalyst can't be an enzyme.
Yes. They speed up a reaction without being consumed in it.
i use the catalyst as an enzyme. you should too. -peyton manning.
the substance that an enzyme acts upon is subtrate
Enzymes act on molecules called substrates. The kind of substrate depends on the shape of the enzyme.
All Enzyme are proteins enzymes act as catalyst

An enzyme has the role of a catalyst but in biochemistry.
Yes. They speed up a reaction without being consumed in it.
No, that is a catalyst. An enzyme is a type of catalyst, though.

Molecules that act as catalysts in biological systems are enzymes. Enzyme catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
Catalyst
The enzyme is a biochemical catalyst.
Enzymes are basically catalysts, and they act just how you'd expect a catalyst to.
