Sort of Enzymes are proteins that increase the rate of chemical reations, they convert molecues from substrates ( a substrate is a molecue upon which an enzyme atc acts ) to products(a product is something "manufactured" by an enzyme from its substrate)

∙ 12y agoIt's true that almost all enzymes are proteins but not all of them are proteins.some rna can act as enzyme e.g. Ribozyme

Who was the scientist that proved that not all enzymes are proteins?
That statement is false. All enzymes are proteins. However, the inverse is true, as not all proteins are enzymes.
True or False some genes code for enzymes?
the instructions for making some proteins are not specified by genes
Is the 20 different polysaccharides used to make proteins true or false?
Is the 20 different polysaccharides used to make proteins true or false?
Hydrophilic ends of proteins are oriented toward membrane surfaces. true or false?
false
True or false glucose stores hereditary information that can be used to make proteins?
true
What proteins act as catalysts in mediating and speeding specific chemical reactions?
True or False? Genes are the key to almost everything that living cells do. True or False? Genes are the key to almost everything that living cells do.

True or False some genes code for enzymes?

Are almost all enzymes considered proteins?
No, this is not always true. Almost all enzymes are made of protein, but now it has been dixcovered that certain types of RNA can function as enzymes also (spliceosomes are an organelle that use enzymatic RNA).
True or False Enzymes are inorganic catalysts?
False. The activation energy of the reaction remains the same. Enzymes split up the reaction pathway into fewer steps, so that less activation energy is required at each step. This allows each step to occur at a lower temperature, or more quickly at the same temperature.
What types of macromolecules can be enzymes?
Proteins are the macromolecules that serves as enzymes. Meaning all enzymes are proteins (a minor exeption exist as RNA catalyst) and the reverse is not true. Enzymes speed up the biochemical reactions.
Is it true that enzymes are proteins that control chemical activities?
Yes, it is true; enzymes acts as catalysts.
Enzymes are carbohydrates that act as catalysts in metabolic reactions true or false?
FALSE!Enzymes are PROTEINS that can act as catalysts in metabolic reactions.
Which of the following statements about enzymes is not true A are catalysts B almost all enzymes are proteins C operate most efficiently at optimum pH D destroyed during chemical reactions?
Enzymes are not destroyed during chemical reactions.
Is the 20 different polysaccharides used to make proteins true or false?
Is the 20 different polysaccharides used to make proteins true or false?
Is it true that saliva contains enzymes that begin the breakdown of proteins?
no
Do enzymes affect the thermodynamics of a reaction true or false?
Enzymes have no effect on the overall thermodynamics of a reaction.
