Enzymes are biocatalysts produced by the cells, which are globular proteins
All enzymes are catalyst and not all catalysts are enzymes.
Answer 2The answer to this is an enzyme is organic meaning we make them, and a catalyst is non-organic, meaning we don't make them i.e. copper, silver, metal and so forth.Enzymes are proteins that are catalysts to the chemical reaction.
Answer #3 (by: xDGoMuSiCxD)
An enzyme is a catalyst, but a catalyst is not an enzyme. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up and/or causes chemical reactions to happen fast enough for a living thing (or an organism) to survive. For example, heat is a catalyst, but not an enzyme. Another example is an amylase is both an enzyme and a catalyst. All cells in living things have need enzymes. For example, both potato and liver tissue need enzymes. I hope that helped
Another AnswerSame as above, but a catalyst does not always need be an organic compound. It can be a coordinated metal, for example, RhCl(PPh3)3 involved in hydrogenation, whereas an enzyme is a biological agent.

So, every enzyme is a catalyst, but not every catalyst is an enzyme.

What is the difference between the lock and key model versus the induced fit model of the enzyme substrate complex?
The lock and key model means that the substrate must perfectly fit the enzyme, and the enzyme does not change. The induced fit model is different as when the substrate fits together with the enzyme, the enzyme itself will change to either join substrates together or break a substrate down.
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
Is a substrate an enzyme?
NO. The enzyme acts on the substrate. The substrate is the chemical/compound being altered by the action of the enzyme. They are NOT the same.
In an enzyme catalyzed reaction what is the reactant called?
Generally in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the reactant is called the substrate, which in association with the enzyme forms the product.
What is Difference between uncompetitive and non competitive enzyme inhibition?
I believe non competitive antagonists bind to an allosteric site that prevents the enzyme from binding substrate whereas uncompetitive binds and stabilizes the ES complex which slows down the reaction.
Explain the difference between substrate and active site?
Substrate is the reactant in which an enzyme reacts out. While the active Site is a special region of the enzyme where the substrate binds forming a temporary enzyme-substrate complex.
What is the difference between the lock and key model versus the induced fit model of the enzyme substrate complex?
The lock and key model means that the substrate must perfectly fit the enzyme, and the enzyme does not change. The induced fit model is different as when the substrate fits together with the enzyme, the enzyme itself will change to either join substrates together or break a substrate down.
What is the difference between substrate and product?
The substrate is the substance (or substances) that attaches to the enzyme's active site before the reaction occurs.The product is the substance (or substances) that is formed after the enzyme has worked on the substrate.///
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
Enzyme inhibitors disrupt normal interactions between an enzyme and its what?
substrate
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
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.
Is a substrate an enzyme?
NO. The enzyme acts on the substrate. The substrate is the chemical/compound being altered by the action of the enzyme. They are NOT the same.
What happens after a substrate binds to an enzyme?
Substrate a reactant molecule that binds to an enzyme. It has a specific shape that is complementary in shape to the active site of the enzyme. Product the substance or substances produced by the reaction between the enzyme and substrate.
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
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.
