What type of compound is catalase?
biological molecule
3 variables that can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to function?
An enzyme is a catalyst for chemical reactions. Three variables that can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to function are temperature, pH level and concentration.
What type of molecule is made from amino acids and acts as a biological catalyst?
Molecules that act as catalysts in biological systems are enzymes. Enzyme catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
What is a co enzyme used for?
As a co-enzyme- in many functions- Fighting coldsmostly.
How does pH affect enzyme functions?
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.
What can affect a biological function?
enzyme
An example of a biological catalyst?
Enzymes are biological catalysts so Amylase, Maltase, Protease, Lipase. Yeast is also a biological catalyst.
What type of compound is catalase?
biological molecule
What is the biological equivalent of catalyst?
An enzyme is the biological equivalent of a catalyst.
What determines an enzyme's functions and how many functions does one enzyme have?
An enzyme has only one substrate that it works with so it has only one function. This is called a lock and key mechanism. Other things can affect the enzyme such as temperature, pH level and levels of either the substrate or the products. High temperature can denature the enzyme (they are proteins). They can not fit the lock (substrate).
Is enzyme is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst?
Yes, that is exactly what an enzyme is.
What is an example of a biological enzyme?
DNA helicase. This is the enzyme that "unzips" DNA.
What is a biological catalyst known as?
an enzyme
What serves as an enzyme?
Biological catalyst
What is biological catalyst is called?
an enzyme
What is a biological cayalyst?
A biological catalyst is an enzyme. An enzyme lowers the amount of activiation energy in order for a reaction to occur, they are also reusable.
Where is the biological catayst found?
A biological catalyst is an enzyme, enzyme are found all over living things, each with specific use
