What else can I help you with?
Does the nucleus require anything to function properly?
The nucleus of a cell needs several things to function properly. These things are proteins, enzymes, catalysts, and other things as well.
Enzymes are PH sensetive Exactly what does this mean?
They only function when the acidity or alkalinity of their environment is at a certain level.
What function do co-enzymes have in respiration?
Co-enzymes in respiration assist in various metabolic processes by carrying chemical groups or electrons between enzymes. They enhance the efficiency of reactions and help enzymes function properly. Key co-enzymes in respiration include NAD+ and FAD.
What are cell enzymes made of?
Enzymes are made of proteins. They are chains of amino acids that join together to perform a specific function. Enzymes are responsible for the chemical reactions that occur in a cell. Cells need enzymes to live. Without the enzyme an organ in the body cannot function properly. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells also use enzymes for the reactions that take place in their cell.
What are conjugated enzymes?
Conjugated enzymes are enzymes that require a non-protein component, such as a metal ion or a coenzyme, to function properly. These additional components are necessary for the enzyme to catalyze a specific reaction effectively.
Are most enzymes made of fat?
No, enzymes are mainly made of proteins. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. While some enzymes may have components that contain fat (lipids), the overall structure and function of enzymes are based on proteins.
Can enzymes work over a broad range of PH levels?
Enzymes have an optimal pH at which they work most efficiently, but some enzymes can function over a range of pH levels beyond their optimal pH. However, extreme pH levels can denature enzymes, leading to loss of their function.
What is the non-protein portion required by some enzymes for proper function?
Some enzymes do indeed have non-protein components. One really good example of this is the ribosome. Ribosomes are the enzymes responsible for translating mRNA into protein. Ribosomes are made up of both protein components and rRNA components. rRNA stands for ribosomal RNA.
What are the 3 metabolic functions of the kidneys?
production and secretion of enzymes & hormones metabolic conversion acid base balance
Do enzymes contiune to function after being frozen or boiled?
I am not sure if they work after being frozen sorry. But, once enzymes reach a certain high temperature they will denature causing them to become inactive. This process is irreversible. So therefore after boiling an enzyme it will no longer function.
What is the main function a lysosomes?
A lysosome is a membrane-bound vesicle filled with digestive enzymes that can break down worn-out cell components or materials brought into the cell
Enzymes in lysosomes digest organs why?
Enzymes in lysosomes digest organelles as part of the cell's normal function to break down and recycle cellular components. This process, known as autophagy, helps maintain cellular balance by removing damaged or unneeded organelles. If lysosomal enzymes are released outside the lysosome, they can cause harm to the cell and surrounding tissue.
