Enzymes are a type of protein and are thus formed by ribosomes - every protein exits the ribosome as a linear strand. It is this 'primary sequence' of amino acids that is different in each protein and empowers each enzyme with its own unique function.

Are enzymes destroyed after one use?

Enzymes are not destroyed after one use. They can be reused multiple times to speed up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. Enzymes can maintain their activity as long as they are in conditions that support their stability and functionality.


How many different types of substrates can an enzyme react with?

An enzyme typically acts on one specific substrate or a group of similar substrates due to its unique active site structure. Enzymes are highly specific, recognizing and binding to their substrate(s) based on complementary shapes and chemical properties. This specificity allows enzymes to carry out essential biological reactions efficiently.


What is sequential reactions?

Sequential reactions are a series of chemical reactions that occur in a specific order, with the product of one reaction becoming the substrate for the next reaction in the sequence. Each step in a sequential reaction is typically catalyzed by a different enzyme, resulting in the overall conversion of a starting material into a final product through multiple intermediate steps.


How do fatty acids differ from one another?

different enzymes break each different chain down


What properties of enzymes give rise to their ability to distinguish one substrates from another?

Enzymes have specific active sites that can only bind to complementary substrates, based on size, shape, and chemical properties. The binding of substrates to the active site induces a conformational change in the enzyme that stabilizes the transition state for the reaction with that particular substrate. Additionally, enzymes may undergo induced fit where the active site reshapes to better accommodate the specific substrate.

What causes wave to bend when traveling from one to another?

When a wave travels from one medium to another with a different speed or density, it causes the wave to bend. This change in speed and direction is due to refraction, where the wave changes its angle as it crosses the boundary between the two mediums.
