Enzymes are highly specific in their action. For example, enzyme maltase acts on sugar maltose and not on lactose or sucrose. Different enzymes may act on the same substrate but give rise to different products. For example, raffinose gives rise to melibiose and fructose in the presnce of enzyme sucrase while in the presence of enzyme melibiase it produces lactose and sucrose. Similarly an enzyme may act on different substrates like sucrase can act on both sucrose and raffinose producing different end products.

Is it true or false that Enzymes interact with specific substrates?
Enzymes does interact with specific substrates. This is used in science.
Enzymes have specific that determine their function?
Enzymes ARE specific for their substrate. For example: lipase breaks down lipids, not sugars.
What is an enzyme marker?
some enzymes present in certain organelles only , such specific enzymes are called marker enzymes
What statements is true about enzymes?
One thing that is true about enzymes is that enzymes speed up metabolic processes and are highly specific.
Use enzymes in a sentence?
"The enzymes were used to cause a specific biochemical reaction on the agent."
Is it true or false that Enzymes interact with specific substrates?
Enzymes does interact with specific substrates. This is used in science.
How do mitochondria break down nutrients?
Enzymes are used for it. There are specific enzymes
Enzymes have specific that determine their function?
Enzymes ARE specific for their substrate. For example: lipase breaks down lipids, not sugars.
What does enzymes mean in science terms?
The active site is the functional part of an enzyme. An enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction. Enzymes are proteins. Enzymes help decrease the activation energy Specific enzymes carry out specific biological functions. Enzymes have an active site that fits a specific substrate.
What is an enzyme marker?
some enzymes present in certain organelles only , such specific enzymes are called marker enzymes
Do restriction enzymes cut protein molecules at specific sites?
No. restriction enzymes do not cut proteins. restriction enzymes cut DNA molecules at specific sites called restriction sites.

"The enzymes were used to cause a specific biochemical reaction on the agent."
What statements is true about enzymes?
One thing that is true about enzymes is that enzymes speed up metabolic processes and are highly specific.
A certain enzyme with hydrolyze egg white but not starch which statement best explains this observation?
enzymes are specific in their actions
What are enzymes cutting DNA at specific sites to form restriction fragments called?
restriction enzymes or endonuclease enzymes
Enzymes have specific what that determine their function?
Shapes
What is the significance of enzymes?
Enzymes are specific proteins that increase the rate of chemical reactions in the human body.
