What else can I help you with?
Are all proteins enzymes?
No, not all proteins are enzymes. Enzymes are a type of protein that catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms, but there are many other types of proteins that serve different functions in the body.
How many enzymes have been identified?
There are thousands of enzymes that have been identified in various organisms. It is estimated that there are over 5,000 different enzymes in the human body alone. However, the exact number of enzymes identified can vary depending on how broadly one defines what constitutes an enzyme.
All cells of an organism are engaged in many different chemical reactions This fact is best supported by the presence in each cell of thousands of different kinds of?
Enzymes. Enzymes are catalysts that facilitate and regulate thousands of different chemical reactions within cells by speeding up these reactions without being consumed in the process. The diversity of enzymes in each cell reflects the wide array of biochemical pathways that cells must carry out to maintain life processes.
Are enzymes found in proteins carbohydrates lipids or nucleic acids?
Enzymes for digesting lipids, or fats, are called lipases. Enzymes for digesting proteins are called proteases. Enzymes for digesting carbohydrates are called amylases. Note that there are many different types of each of the above enzymes.
What do enzymes and substrates look like?
Enzymes and substrates are molecules and look like any other molecules. In case of enzymes specifically, they are proteins and so have long chains of amino acids folded into different structures and shapes.
Why do animals have so many different enzymes to digest their food?
Animals have so many different enzymes to digest foods because they each such a variety of foods in their diet. Because of this, specific enzymes are needed to digest each type of food.
Why do animals have so many enzymes to digest their food?
Animals have so many different enzymes to digest foods because they each such a variety of foods in their diet. Because of this, specific enzymes are needed to digest each type of food.
Why are there so many varied phenotypes within a species such as a human?
The phenotypes are affected by your enzymes since all metabolic activities of our bodies are down to enzymes.. Your Enzymes are proteins. They have been made from translation after transcription. Thus Your DNA got transcribed to make the enzymes.
How many different cheeses contain pig enzymes?
No... I dont...
What amino acids are contained in enzymes?
I would imagine that there are so many enzymes that all AAs are used regarding ALL enzymes
What determines an enzymes function and how many functions does on enzymes have?
The arrangement of it's active site. Some enzymes just provide a place where two reactants can be in a protected environment for the reaction, some enzymes stress bonds of reactant to lower the reaction activation energy and some enzymes have catalytic properties due to the arrangement of the various amino acid R groups in their active site. One enzyme, one substrate(s) and one function. So, many different classes of enzymes. Very much so
What is a catalyst in aerobic respiration?
Respiration involves so many types of enzymes. Enzymes are the biological catalysts
Why is it advantageous for the human body to have many different enzymes?
Each enzymes had a specific job. Meaning one kind could not do what others can. Meaning having many enzymes would be advantageous (or neccessry) for our body to do many kinds of chemical reactions.
What controls secretion of enzyme?
The Brain and Enteric system controls it. Various regions of the brain controls different enzymes. Also, the enteric system controls many the different digestive enzymes.
What do enzymes do to the chemicals involved in the reaction?
Enzymes are biocatalysts, they accelerate the reaction rate. Different individual enzymes operate by different mechanisms.
If all enzymes are proteins but all proteins are not enzymes then what makes enzymes different fr?
Enzymes are proteins, but as you can imagine, different parts of the body need different types of enzymes to work efficiently. Can you imagine the enzymes which break down food in the process of digestion being replaced by the enzymes which assist respiration or photosynthesis? It wouldn't work. Each type of enzyme controls different chemical processes.
What enzyme breaks down polypetides?
Enzymes that break down proteins are called a protease. There are many different enzymes that break down many different polypeptides. Usually they will end in the suffix "-in".
