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.
What else can I help you with?
What breaks down soap molecules?
Enzymes break down soap molecules.
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 is the difference between lyase and ligase enzymes in terms of their functions and mechanisms of action?
Lyase enzymes catalyze the breaking of chemical bonds in molecules without using water, while ligase enzymes catalyze the formation of new bonds between molecules using energy from ATP. Lyase enzymes work by eliminating groups from substrates, while ligase enzymes work by joining two molecules together.
What do you call the molecules which make reactions work such as the breakdown of food molecules?
Enzymes are the molecules responsible for catalyzing biochemical reactions, including the breakdown of food molecules. They act as biological catalysts by lowering the activation energy required for these reactions to occur.
Do enzymes or lipids cause molecules to change?
Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy, enabling molecules to change. Lipids, on the other hand, provide structural support in cell membranes and serve as energy storage molecules rather than directly causing molecular changes.
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:)
What is the name of the group of molecules used specifically to speed up metabolic reactions?
Enzymes
Enzymes are carbohydrates molecules?
Enzymes are not carbohydrate molecules. They are protein molecules.
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.
Which group of organic molecules makes up enzymes?
Proteins are the main organic molecules that make up enzymes. Enzymes are typically composed of long chains of amino acids that are folded into specific three-dimensional shapes to carry out their biological functions.
What is the term collectively referring to the group organic molecules that assist in the activation of enzymes?
Coenzyme, like NAD, NADP, CoA.
Complex organic molecules that work with enzymes to facilitate the enzymes?
co-enzymes
What groups of organic molecules do enzymes belong to?
Enzymes belong to the group of organic molecules known as proteins. They are made up of long chains of amino acids that form complex three-dimensional structures. These structures allow enzymes to catalyze specific chemical reactions within living organisms.
