The shape of an enzyme will determine its ability to help in a chemical reaction. These proteins that will break down substance in the body and catalyze chemical reactions.
The enzyme is liberated free to repeat the action again. That is the beauty of enzymes.
A molecule that allows or encourages a chemical or biochemical reaction, while remaining relatively unchanged by the end of the reaction, is called an enzyme.
Enzymes are not used up in a chemical reaction. Usually, the enzyme will "reset" and be ready to use in another reaction. This is due to the fact that enzymes are proteins, and their shape is what they use in a chemical reaction. Initially, the enzyme has a particular shape. Something happens to the enzyme (usually a shape change, called a conformation change, brought on by the presence of two or more chemical reactants), and the enzyme catalyzes the reaction. After the reaction is catalyzed, the product is released, and the enzyme can "relax." This means it goes back to its normal shape, ready to do it all over again.
Enzymes lower the amount of Activation Energy needed for a chemical reaction, therefore speeding up the chemical reaction. For an enzyme to do this it needs to be at the correct pH, salinity, and temperature otherwise the enzyme will not be able to work. When an enzyme is in a pH that is not suitable, the enzyme's shape and structure alter and make it unable to speed up a reaction.
No. There is no type of a catalyst that is consumed in a reaction.
to speed up a chemical reaction
The enzyme is a biochemical catalyst.
The enzyme is liberated free to repeat the action again. That is the beauty of enzymes.
ENzyme
the purpose is to accelerate the process of the reaction...
enzyme sped up the chemical reaction
The enzyme reduces the activation energy of the reaction, therefore chemical reaction speeds are increased.
