How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
What are two things that can affect the enzymes shape?
Salt concentration and the pH! also the temperature and activations and inhibitors affect an enzymes actions
How enzymes affect reactions?
Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions to occur
What breaks down food into simple substances?
Enzymes are used to break down foods. Some enzymes are: Amylase for carbohydrates. Protease for proteins. Lipase for fats.
What are enzymes KS2?
enzymes are molecules that help break own your food
How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
How pH levels affect enzymes?
It disrupts an enzymes shape and structure.
How do you lower your kidney enzymes with a natural food?
how do you lower kidney enzymes with a natural food?
How does the size of food affect the time liquids take to change the food?
chewing the food well increases its surface area so more saliva can start to work on breaking down enzymes

Substance used to break food down?
Enzymes are substances that break down food.
When are enzymes added to your food?
the pancreas excretes enzymes in to the small intestine to break down your food
How quick is enzymes?
the enzymes is really fast and it dissovled food
How enzymes affect reactions?

What are enzymes called because they affect the speed of chemical reaction without being consumed?
enzymes are never consumed in a chemical reaction, therefore the answer to your question is that enzymes that affect the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed are indeed called enzymes.
