What else can I help you with?
What kind of energy must be provided for an enzyme to function?
Enzymes require activation energy to function, which is the energy needed to initiate a chemical reaction. This energy helps disrupt existing chemical bonds in the substrate molecules, allowing the reaction to proceed. Once the reaction starts, enzymes can then catalyze the conversion of substrate molecules into products.
What is an activation site?
An active or activation site is a small opening in an enzyme where substrate molecules are bound, and go through a chemical reaction. This reaction is caused by the collision a substrate that slots into the active site of the enzyme.
How does an enzyme's active site site relate to its substrate?
Their Shapes Fit Snugly Together.
How do enzymes affect reactions?
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They do this by binding to reactant molecules and bringing them together in the correct orientation to facilitate the reaction. Enzymes are specific to certain substrates, so they only catalyze specific reactions.
What is the name of the Place on an enzyme where reaction occurs?
"Inside your mouth. It's like the saliva that you won't be able to taste food without."Err... lol.A enzyme reacts with a substrate at the enzyme's active site.
Describe the roles of a catalyst and substrate in a chemical reaction?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction. Catalysts work by lowering a reaction's activation energy.A substrate is a reactant of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.

How does a enzyme increase the speed of a reaction?
The enzyme reduces the activation energy of the reaction, therefore chemical reaction speeds are increased.
What is a reactant that binds to a catalyst?
A reactant that binds to a catalyst is known as a substrate. Substrates bind to the active site of the catalyst, where the chemical reaction takes place. This binding lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
What effect does substrate and enzyme joining have on chemical bonding?
enzyme catalyze the biochemical reactions by lowering their activation energy. An enzyme which take part in such reaction wont be lost or gained any chemical structure and it would be the same after the reaction.
Are substrate and reactant the same or different?
Actually a substrate is a reactant. It undergoes a chemical reaction to yield a product. The difference is that a catalyst acts upon it to increment the rate of the reaction (by reducing the activation energy required).
Describe how the interaction between an enzyme and its substrates change a chemical reaction?
An enzyme binds to its substrate, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. This interaction lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. It brings the substrates into close proximity and orients them in a way that facilitates the reaction, leading to the formation of products.
What is an enzyme complex substrate?
An enzyme-substrate complex uses the reactants(substrates) and the enzyme. The enzyme is like a catalyst that reduces the required activation energy and speeds up the chemical reaction.
How does a enzyme increase the rates of reactions?
An enzyme increases the rate of the reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction. The secret is that enzymes weaken the bonds in the substrate so that products are formed much faster. Enzymes are catalysts or substances that speed up the reaction (without being consumed in it). An enzyme increases the rate of reaction by lowering the energy of activation or (Ea). Enzymes achieve that by attaching to the substrate in the active site and forming an enzyme substrate complex in which the enzyme disturbs the covalent bond of the substrate. This causes it to enter the transitional state, which is the most energetic and unstable state. The enzyme then breaks apart, and the substrate goes into an exorganic reaction to form the product.
Is a substrate an enzyme?
No, a substrate is the molecule that the enzyme acts upon to catalyze a reaction. Enzymes are proteins that function as biological catalysts, helping to speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
What is an activation site?
An active or activation site is a small opening in an enzyme where substrate molecules are bound, and go through a chemical reaction. This reaction is caused by the collision a substrate that slots into the active site of the enzyme.
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
When an enzyme and substrate come together, it is called the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex is a temporary intermediate state in which the enzyme binds to the substrate to catalyze a chemical reaction.
