What all do enzymes do?
Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate biochemical reactions. They may bring together the necessary reactants or may facilitate the degradation of species, as in the digestion of proteins to peptides.
A biological catalyst or chemical reaction facilitator is known as?
A biological catalyst increases the rate of biological processes/biological reactions. A biological catalyst (enzymes) act to lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction. Enzymes are bilogical catalysts that bind or separate substrates (chemicals the catalysts act on). the 'lock and key' model suggests that the enzyme doesn't change its form and only similarly shaped substrates can fit into the lock or cleft. it is similar to the toy children play with where you must fit the circular block into the circular hole and so on. The 'induced fit' model says thatthe enzyme molds itself around the substrate and separates or binds it from there. hope i helped!
What is an agent that causes or speeds up a reaction without permanently altering itself?
Catalysts speed up chemical reactions without being used up or damaged in the process. Catalysts provide an active site that helps to bring chemicals together and thus increase the likelihood of a reaction taking place (and thus speeding up the reaction).As well as speeding up reactions catalysts also reduce the activation energy needed for reactions to take place.Enzymes are biological catalysts made out of protein.All catalysts can be damaged or inhibited by either changing the shape of the active site or blocking it altogether.
What are biologic catalyst?
Biological catalysts that are proteins are called enzymes. Enzymes bring the substrates together to form the enzyme-substrate complex, which leads to the generation of the products of the reaction.
What is an accelerant?
An accelerant is a substance that increases the speed of a chemical reaction or the rate at which a fire spreads. It is commonly used in arson to quickly ignite fires and aid in their spread. Examples of accelerants include gasoline, lighter fluid, and some types of chemicals.
If you died would your son be taken away from his step father and step brother and returned to his biological father seeing as legally he is not my husband's baby or does marriage bring rights?
Marriage by itself does not bring custody rights to non-biological children. Where the children go when the biological mother dies depends on who has custody, whether the non-biological father has adopted the child, whether the biological father wants the child, and on the laws of the state where all of this is happening.
What are six forces that bring about the weathering of rock?
The six forces that bring about the weathering of rock are mechanical weathering (e.g. frost action, root wedging), chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation, dissolution), biological weathering (e.g. plant roots, burrowing animals), temperature changes, pressure changes, and erosion by wind, water, or ice.
Does bile bring about a chemical or physical change to fat?
Bile will bring about a chemical change to fat. This is because bile chemically alters the way the fat is structured.
Describe the differences between enzymes and hormones?
Enzymes are globular proteins that are responsible for the breaking down or building up of substances in the body. They are biological catalysts. Examples include proteases and lipases, produced in the digestive tract to break down proteins and lipids. Hormones on the other hand are secreted by glands to bring about relatively gradual changes in the body. They are chemical messengers. Examples include insulin, released by the pancreas to encourage the absorption of glucose; and testosterone/oestrogen are sex hormones that are responsible for the gradual changes that take place during puberty in men/women.
What does enzyme require to function?
Enzymes are biological catalysts that alter the rate of a reaction.They are required in various industries (i.e. brewing, cheese making etc.)Enzymes are specific and only work on a specific substrate. They work best at certain temperatures and pH levels. Extremes in either can denature the enzyme(change its shape and preventing it from working properly).
Why are enzymes important to cell?
They help bring about chemical reactions.
What is an enzyme best described as?
An enzyme causes chemical reactions to occur faster.
