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)

What proteins act as catalysts in mediating and speeding specific chemical reactions?

Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in mediating and speeding specific chemical reactions in biological systems. They lower the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, making the reaction proceed faster. Enzymes are highly specific, each one catalyzing a particular reaction or a group of related reactions.


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.


Who was the scientist that proved that not all enzymes are proteins?

The scientist who proved that not all enzymes are proteins was Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten in 1913. Their work on enzyme kinetics showed that enzymes can also be composed of RNA molecules, known as ribozymes. This discovery challenged the prevailing notion at the time that all enzymes were proteins.


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 some genes code for enzymes?

True. Some genes code for enzyme proteins, which are essential for catalyzing biochemical reactions in the body. These enzymes play key roles in processes such as metabolism, cellular signaling, and DNA replication.


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.


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.
