One, and that is the Beauty of Life. In a laboratory a chemist is super-happy to obtain a 60% yield in a reaction - means 40% waste-product. Any Cell, with its thousands of chemical reactions occurring constantly and simultaneously, would IMMEDIATELY BOG-DOWN in useless by-products unless the YIELD of each and every ENZYME was not 100%.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the optimum temperature for many enzymes controlled reactions about 40 degrees of centigrade?
The optimum temperature for many enzymes is around 40 degrees Celsius because that is the temperature at which the enzyme's activity is highest. At this temperature, the enzyme's structure is optimal for binding to substrates and catalyzing reactions efficiently. Temperatures above or below this optimum can cause denaturation of the enzyme, leading to a loss of activity.
Can enzymes help many different many reactions?
no
How is a specific enzyme able to catalyze a specific reaction in the cytoplasm of a single cell with many different enzymes?
Enzymes have specific active sites that bind to specific substrate molecules, allowing them to catalyze specific reactions. Each enzyme has a unique shape that fits specific substrates like a lock and key. This specificity enables the enzyme to function in the cytoplasm of a cell with many other enzymes.
Why do humans have so many emzines?
We have LOTS of enzymes to speed up all the different reactions that happen in the human body Each sort of enzyme can only speed up one specific reaction (eg. lipase can only break down fats). This is because their active site will only fit a specific sort of molecule. However, the body needs to carry out lots of processes: it needs to digest fats, proteins and carbohydrates, it needs to build new molecules... And it needs an enzyme which is specific to those reactions.
What is the enzyme's optimum pH?
I believe it's 7.3, the pH of human blood, as most enzymatic reactions occur there. However, there are special enzymes, such as the ones which are in the stomach, which work best at around a pH of 2.
How many different chemical reactions can a single enzyme catalyze?
1
Why is it necessary for a cell to produce one enzyme molecule for every substrate molecule that needs to be catalyzed?
Because evey substrate needs its own enzyme. Every substance has it depends upon the dissociation constant for the enzyme/substrate interaction. Some enzymes can catalyze reactions for low-affinity substrates, as long as the concentration of substrate molecules is great enough.
How many different kinds of chemical reactions can one kind of enzyme control?
hundereds
How is it possible that trypsin can catalyse many reactions?
enzymes act by having a complementary active site to the shape of a certain molecule, binding to it then reacting it or hydrolyzing it of whatever. trypsins active site happens to be less specific and can fit a wide range of proteins in.
Why does the body need so many different enzymes?
A large number of reactions occur in the cell, many of which requiring enzymes to work. From the creation of the ATP used to energize the cell to the creation of proteins from RNA, each new type of reaction needs its own enzyme to work, and often need dozens if not hundreds of that enzyme to do the reaction at the pace it needs.
Why only a small amount of enzyme is needed to catalyse a reaction involving many molecoles?
The principle reason a little bit of enzyme can catalyze a reaction involving many molecules is that enzymes are not consumed by the reactions they catalyze. Enzymes are typically multi-use entities and will continue acting until all substrates are reacted.

How many times a enzyme is renewable?
Infinitely. Enzymes are biological catalysts and a catalyst is never used up in chemical reactions.
