No. enzymes are very specific to their substrate.

The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
What is the enzyme called that acts upon the substrate pepsin?
food acted up on by the enzyme for pepsin
Are catalyse Maltese and sucrose enzymes?
All enzymes end in -ase. Their substrate is the base for the enzyme. For example: the sugar maltose is acted on by the enzyme maltase. Sucrose, by sucrase.
How would a drug that inhibits the parasympathetic nervous system affect a persons pulse?
It would increase the pulse, providing it acted upon the cardiac conduction system. There are parasympathetic antagonists which act on other parts of the body, such as the bladder; such drugs would not affect the pulse (theoretically).
What does amylase catalyse?
The saliva from the parotid gland releases enzymes called amylases into the mouth. One of the amylase enzmyes, ptyalin, acts as a catalyst in starting the digestion of some carbohydrates before they are even swallowed.
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
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.
What is the enzyme called that acts upon the substrate pepsin?
food acted up on by the enzyme for pepsin
What is an enzyme called when it is acted upon a substance?
This is known as an enzymatic reaction.
What is the specific substance being acted upon by an enzyme?
fit into the active site on the enzyme
What are the reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions know as?
Substrate (a specific reactant acted upon by an enzyme is called the enzyme's substrate.)
A specific reactant an enzyme acts upon is called the a catalyst b sucrase c active site d substrate?
D. substrate (a specific reactant acted upon by an enzyme is called the enzyme's substrate.)
Are catalyse Maltese and sucrose enzymes?
All enzymes end in -ase. Their substrate is the base for the enzyme. For example: the sugar maltose is acted on by the enzyme maltase. Sucrose, by sucrase.
Where is protease used?
A protease is an enzyme that helps the process to break down proteins. Any word with -ase at the end is an enzyme. The rest of the word is the substrate or what is acted upon.
What is a substrate in the context of enzyme reaction?
Enzyme-substrate specificity means that a substrate can fit into an enzyme similar to a key fitting into a lock. The active site of the enzyme is what determines its specificity. An enzyme can hence catalyze a reaction with a specific substrate, such as amylase catalyzing starch molecules. During these reactions, the substrate is held in a precise optimum position to create and break bonds, catalyzing the molecule.
Did the chemist use adequate experimental controls?
Yes, the first chemical reaction (without the enzyme) acted as a control.
How do you use would have or would not have?
i would have done my chores he just would not give it back Those are correct answers above, except that the real problem people have is in conditional sentence constructions like this: "If I would have known the truth, I would have acted differently." That is incorrect. The following two options are correct: "If I had known the truth, I would have acted differently" or "Had I known the truth, I would have acted differently."
