How does the interaction between an enzyme and its substrate change a chemical reaction?

Enzymes speed up the chemical reactions because when it forms a complex with its substrates, it reduces the activation energy that the reaction needs to proceed.
Remember that the reaction itself is not altered, only the rate of reaction, and that the enzyme is not used or altered in the reactions.

The union between atoms by the interaction of their electrons in the outermost orbit?
This is a technical description of a chemical reaction.
What is the difference between solvation and solvolysis?
One major difference between the two processes is that solvolysis is a chemical reaction in which strong bonds are formed between. The solute & solvent. However, solvation although a chemical reaction can be regarded as a mere association or interaction of the solute and the solvent resulting in weak chemical bonding... Uju(Nig)
What is the chemical reaction between ammonia and hydrogen?
They are not reacting. But there is a reaction between hcl and ammonia.
According to modern chemistry what causes chemical reactions?
A chemical reaction is caused by two compounds colliding. This happen with certain amount of force.
Is there a chemical reaction between PVC and concrete?
No
Describe how the interaction between an enzyme and its substrates change a chemical reaction?
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions because when it forms a complez with it's substrate, it reduces activation energy.
How the interaction between enzymes and its substrates changes a chemical reaction?
An enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction.
How does the interaction between the carrier proteins and the substances transports resemble the interaction between and enzyme and its substrate?
Both involve the binding of a specific substance to a particular kind of protein and a change in shape of the protein as the process (transport or chemical reaction) proceeds. After the process is completed, the protein is unchanged.
What does mechanical interaction mean?
it is the interaction between two chemicals, that cause something to happen, but not a chemical reaction :)
What gas in the air is a chemical reaction?
Uncorrect question ! A gas is a chemical compound. A chemical reaction is a process of chemical interaction between several substances (compounds).
What does mechanical mean?
it is the interaction between two chemicals, that cause something to happen, but not a chemical reaction :)
What the definition of Substrate?
The reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Or, A substance with which a enzyme binds itself and form a complex product, a chemical reaction takes place between enzyme and substrate.
The union between atoms by the interaction of their electrons in the outermost orbit?
This is a technical description of a chemical reaction.
What kind of chemical reaction occurs most frequently at the active site?
The most frequently occurring chemical reaction at the active site of an enzyme is the formation and breaking of covalent bonds. This involves the transfer or rearrangement of electrons between the enzyme and the substrate, resulting in the conversion of the substrate to a product.
What is the difference between a reactant and a catalyst?
A reactant is consumed in a reaction to make products. A catalyst is not consumed during the reaction. It is either not directly involved in the reaction or regenerated upon the end of the reaction. This is the main difference. In addition, catalysts work by decreasing the activation energy for the reaction, allowing the reactants to react more easily.
Describe the relationship between substrate concentration and the initial reaction rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction Is this a linear relationship What happens to the initial reaction rate as sub?
As the substrate concentration increases so does the reaction rate because there is more substrate for the enzyme react with.
What is the relationship between substrate concentration and enzyme activity?
At low substrate concentrations, the rate of enzyme activity is proportional to substrate concentration. The rate eventually reaches a maximum at high substrate concentrations as the active sites become saturated.
