Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. If living things did not have enzymes, they would need to rely on random collision, or heat. Collision is not preferable because the substrates must collide perfectly (could take awhile). Raising the heat energy in our body would cause all the reactions to go off at once, which is also not preferable.
Enzymes are catalysts. They all have a specific shape, which determines function. The substrate fits perfectly into the enzyme.

∙ 15y agoYes, plants do have enzymes, an example of an enzyme in plants is Rubisco.

For example, glucosidase (soil enzyme) cleaves glucose from glucoside (substrate), a compound common in plants. Enzymes are specific to a substrate and have active sites that bind with the substrate to form a temporary complex. The enzymatic reaction releases a product, which can be a nutrient contained in the substrate.

Denatured enzymes are the same as?
Denatured enzymes are the same as enzymes that can no longer function.
Do humans have any enzymes in bodies?
Yes. All life on this planet has enzymes. Enzymes are protein molecules that act to catalysts to perform the chemical work required by cells to function. They allow cells to grow, reproduce and use energy. Exactly WHICH enzymes are present in any given organism is dependent on the organism. Plants will have different enzymes than animals or fungi or bacteria, but ALL life has enzymes.
What is the function of oxidoreductase enzymes?
its for cellulose and lignin degradation
Enzymes have specific what that determine their function?
Shapes
Do all enzymes function identically in all species?
Because Enzymes are catalyst for reactions in species. Eg. There are digestive enzymes in your mouth to start off digesting.
Why is it important for plants to hold enzymes in the their functional shapes?
There is thing that do the function and perform a vasendectomy on the enzymes so therefore negating guardies
What is the function of the central vacuole in plants?
It stores the water, food, ions, enzymes, and stuff like that in a plant. :)
How are enzymes affected by environment?
As I know, enzymes can be found in all plants. If no enzymes could be found in plants, there was no life.
Denatured enzymes are the same as?
Denatured enzymes are the same as enzymes that can no longer function.
What does it mean that enzymes are not changed when they perform their function?
It means that enzymes are catalysts.
Would enzymes function in a person's cells?
Yes, cells contain many enzymes which are able to function inside the cell.
What is the function of coenzymes?
Molecules required for the catalytic function of enzymes
What is the function of oxidoreductase enzymes?

What enzymes act inside the small intestine and what are the function of these enzymes?
enzymes are protien catalysts that spreed up digestion
What determine an enzymes function and how many function does one enzyme have?
two
What is the function of microbody?
contains enzymes and other substances
