An enzyme is essentially what keeps humans alive. They are molecules that support the metabolic processes inside of the body.

What enzyme synthesises starch from glucose -1- phosphate?

The enzyme that synthesizes starch from glucose-1-phosphate is starch synthase. This enzyme catalyzes the condensation reaction of glucose molecules to form the starch polymer.


What is the function of sulphuric acid in the experiment of enzyme activity?

H2SO4 is used to denature the enzyme and stop the reaction instantly. by adding H2SO4,it will prevent further reaction of the enzyme onto the substrate and the rate of enzyme reaction can be measured in the specific time


Zinc an essential trace element for most organisms is present in the active site of the enzyme carboxypeptidase The zinc most likely functions as a?

Zinc in the enzyme carboxypeptidase likely functions as a cofactor, helping to stabilize the enzyme's structure and assist in catalyzing the reaction by participating in binding and activation of the substrate.


What is the enzyme that convert galactose into glucose 1 phosphate?

The enzyme that converts galactose into glucose 1-phosphate is galactokinase. This enzyme phosphorylates galactose to form galactose 1-phosphate, which can then be converted into glucose 1-phosphate through further metabolic pathways.


Why does denaturing by temperature or pH make an enzyme non-functional?

Active site of an enzyme is fixed for particular substrate, or you can understand it better via lock-key theory, in which substrate acts as a lock and active side of the enzyme as a key, and you know well that each lock has a specific key to make it unlock. So if active site of an enzyme is altered due to any reason, it can not be fixed into the its particular substrate, and functioning of an enzyme obliviously requires a substrate.
