Most enzymes are proteins. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell. Enzymes are known to catalyze about 4,000 biochemical reactions.

Do enzymes or lipids cause molecules to change?
Enzymes are the catalytic compounds (proteins) that facilitate organic chemical reactions - NOTE neither lipids or enzymes CAUSE molecules to change.
Molecules which serve as chemicals to make reaction work- like the breakdown of food molecules?
They are called enzymes. They aren't necessarily considered molecules, but I suppose they are, perhaps very large ones. These enzymes act as a catalyst to speed the decompositions along. Stomach acid helps by oxidising the food as well as creating the environment for the proteins to function.
What are the special proteins that can break large molecules into small molecules?
These substances are called enzymes.
What do you call the molecules which make reactions work such as the breakdown of food molecules?
Those types of molecules are called enzymes.
Which co-enzymes captured the hydrogen molecules?
awdaw
Which group of organic molecules includes enzymes?
Proteins
What is the group of organic molecules that assist in the activation of enzymes?
Coenzymes
What is the name of the group of molecules that speed up metabolic reactions?
i think the answer is enzymes:)
Enzymes are carbohydrates molecules?
Enzymes are not carbohydrate molecules. They are protein molecules.
Which group of organic molecules makes up enzymes?
Proteins. Answer obtained from biology class.
What is the name of the group of molecules used specifically to speed up metabolic reactions?
Enzymes
Are most enzymes carbohydrate molecules?
Enzymes are not carbohydrate molecules. They are protein molecules.
Which group of biological molecules can speed up chemical reactions by lowering a reaction's activation energy?
Enzymes
What is the term referring to the group of organic molecules that assist in the activation of enzymes?
Coenzyme, like NAD, NADP, CoA.
Why enzymes are called hydrolytic enzymes?
Careful! Not all enzymes are hydrolytic. Hydrolytic enzymes catalyse reactions in which there is breaking of molecules (involving the participation of water molecules). There are enzymes which catalyse reactions in which molecules join together to form a larger molecule (condensation reactions)
Complex organic molecules that work with enzymes to facilitate the enzymes?
co-enzymes
What is the term collectively referring to the group organic molecules that assist in the activation of enzymes?
Coenzyme, like NAD, NADP, CoA.
