Since enzymes have a specific active site, then a specific substrate binds on to it. The product that forms from the substrate have still the same shape in the active site. In other words there shaped is not altered, only the substrate is either broken apart or made into one. However the shape of the substrate/s is still the same. hence the subsrate/s can rejoin to the active site and thus the reverse reaction can occur.

You've discovered an enzyme that can catalyze two different chemical reactions Which of the following is most likely to be correct?

Enzymes are typically specific to certain reactions due to their unique active sites that fit specific substrates. It is unlikely for an enzyme to catalyze two very different reactions, especially if the reactions have significantly different substrates or mechanisms. It is possible for an enzyme to have multiple related functions or to catalyze a series of reactions in a metabolic pathway. Further investigation is needed to determine the validity of the claim.


Why do enzyme molecules change shape at high temperatures?

The rate of enzyme reactions is affected by temperature. All enzymes have an optimum temperature range in which they work most efficiently. An enzyme is most active at its optimum temperature. A temperature rise beyond this point reduces enzyme activity till it completely stops. This happens because the enzymes structure has changed, (often a loss of the correct folding of the molecule) and it's irreversiable. The change of the structe makes the enzyme become useless because it can't bind to subrates to make chemical reactions.


What conditions can be drawn about the action of the enzymes as the temperature increases?

As temperature increases, enzyme activity generally increases up to a certain point (optimal temperature) where the enzyme works most efficiently. Beyond the optimal temperature, the enzyme's activity rapidly declines due to denaturation. Extreme temperatures can disrupt the enzyme's active site, altering its shape and preventing it from catalyzing reactions effectively.


What enzyme is necessary for the dark reactions?

The enzyme necessary for the dark reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, is called ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO). It is responsible for fixing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into a stable organic molecule during photosynthesis.


WHich action would most likely increase the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction during an experiment?

Increasing the temperature or increasing the concentration of substrate would most likely increase the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction during an experiment. This is because higher temperatures or substrate concentrations can speed up the rate of enzyme-substrate collisions, leading to more enzymatic reactions taking place.

In what kind of reaction can the products form the reactants?

In a reversible reaction, the products can convert back into the reactants given appropriate conditions. This is often seen in chemical equilibrium where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate.

Why do you need more then 1 type of enzyme?

Enzymes are highly specific. Each enzyme catalyzes a particular chemical reaction or at most a family of closely related chemical reactions.


Is making crisps from cooking oil and potatoes a reversible change or chemical reaction?

Most cooking processes are chemical reactions. Generally, the reactions are non reversible and once cooked, food cannot be returned to an uncooked state. So, frying potatoes causes a non reversible chemical reaction. The question is not as precise as it might be. Changes can be physical or chemical. They can also be reversible or non reversible but it is important to note that many chemical changes are reversible just as many physical changes are reversible.


Would legalizing assisted suicide lead to euthanasia?

Which part of a chemical reaction is most changed by enzyme activity?

The speed of the reaction is most changed by enzyme activity, as enzymes can greatly accelerate the rate at which chemical reactions occur by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed.


IS decomposition exchange reaction reversible synthesis has a chemical reaction with parts of different molecules trade position?

Yes, decomposition and exchange reactions are reversible processes where the reactants can reform into products or exchange parts with other molecules. In decomposition, a compound breaks down into simpler substances, while in exchange reactions, atoms or functional groups from different molecules trade places. These reactions can proceed in both directions depending on the conditions.


Are all chemical reactions reversible?

Some chemical changes are easily reversible, though most are not. An example of a reversible chemical reaction is as follows: H2O + CO2 <-> H2CO3 When carbon dioxide is run into water under pressure, they react to form carbonic acid (seltzer water), when the pressure is released, the carbon dioxide dissociates with the water and bubbles off into the atmosphere (the seltzer water goes flat). The following reaction is irreversible: CH4 + 3O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O


What would happen if most biochemical reactions are catalyzed by the same enzyme?

If an enzyme produces too much of one substance in the organism, that substance may act as an inhibitor for the enzyme at the beginning of the pathway that produces it, causing production of the substance to slow down or stop when there is sufficient amount.
