What else can I help you with?
Why do enzymes only work with the specific substrates?
Enzymes act only on a specific substrate due to the active site of the enzymes fits perfectly with the substrate. Like 2 puzzle pieces, they can only go together and not with anything else. Enzymes catalyze or help a reaction take place. They bind substrates and then help position them in order that the chemical reaction between these substrates can take place. If they bound things other than the substrates they would be much less efficient in catalyzing the reactions.
To which animal are humans most closely related?
Humans are most closely related to chimpanzees.
How many reactions can each type of enzyme catalyse?
One, and that is the Beauty of Life. In a laboratory a chemist is super-happy to obtain a 60% yield in a reaction - means 40% waste-product. Any Cell, with its thousands of chemical reactions occurring constantly and simultaneously, would IMMEDIATELY BOG-DOWN in useless by-products unless the YIELD of each and every ENZYME was not 100%.
To which animals are humans closely related?
Humans are closely related to primates such as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.
What is the animal that is most closely related to humans?
The animal most closely related to humans is the chimpanzee.
What is the term used for all the molecule on which an enzyme act?
The term used for all the molecules on which an enzyme acts is "substrates." Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions by binding to these substrates, facilitating their conversion into products. Each enzyme typically has a specific substrate or a group of related substrates that it acts upon.

How is catalyst enzyme activation energy substrate related?
Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a reaction to occur by providing an alternative pathway for the reaction. This enables substrates to be converted into products more efficiently. Catalysts, including enzymes, speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy barrier, making the reaction proceed at a faster rate. Thus, the relationship between catalysts, enzyme activation energy, and substrates is that enzymes act as catalysts to reduce the activation energy needed for substrates to undergo a chemical reaction.
Can one enzyme work with more than one?
... substrate? Yes, many enzymes can work on any of a family of related compounds.
Describe the change in the rate of reaction when the enzyme concentration is increased?
The increase of enzyme concentration increase the rate of reaction. Given a fixed amount of substrates, it means that the substrates will be digested faster as there are more enzymes to do the work. Substrate concentration, temperature, and pH value of the surrounding where the enzymes work on also affects the rate.
Is sucrose a substrate?
The Substrate for amylase are starch (amylose and Amylopectin), glycogen, and various Oligosaccharides.
Are pH level and enzymes related?
Yes, pH level can affect the activity of enzymes. Enzymes have an optimal pH at which they function most efficiently, and deviations from this pH can decrease enzyme activity. Changes in pH can affect the enzyme's structure and alter the interactions between the enzyme and its substrate.
Which level of protein structure is most related to specificity?
The tertiary structure of a protein is most related to specificity. This level of structure is where the unique three-dimensional arrangement of amino acids within a protein allows it to interact specifically with other molecules, such as enzymes with their substrates.
What is RNA closely related too?
What is RNA closely related too? What is RNA closely related too?
What are hawks closely related to?
Eagles are closely related to hawks.
How enzymes and catalysts related?
Enzymes are catalysts.
What organisms are closely related to hydra?
Closely related: obelia jellyfish Not closely related (but still related): coral sea anemone
