How does the enzyme subsrate help the enzyme work?
The substrate is the molecule that the enzyme acts upon, fitting into the enzyme's active site like a key fitting into a lock. This binding triggers a conformational change in the enzyme that allows it to catalyze the reaction more efficiently. The substrate provides the specific chemical groups and orientation needed for the enzyme to perform its function.
What can change the way an enzyme acts?
Enzyme activity is affected by other molecules, temperature, chemical environment (e.g., pH), and the concentration of substrate and enzyme. Activators are molecules that encourage enzyme activity, and inhibitors are enzymes that decrease enzyme activity. Sometimes a cofactor is necessary for the enzyme to work.
Who does the substrate work on enzyme action?
The substrate is the molecule on which the enzyme acts. It binds to the active site of the enzyme, leading to catalysis of the chemical reaction. The shape and chemical properties of the substrate are important in determining which enzyme can act on it.
When a molecule binds to an area of an enzyme that is not the active site and changes the shape of the enzyme so that it no longer can work this is called?
Denaturation
How enzymes influence chemical reactions in living systems by?
We can use the lock and key hypothesis to describe the work of an enzyme,in this the substrate are the pieces to be joined and the enzyme shape represent their whole,thats why the shape of an enzyme is necessary for its work
What does the refrigeation of food do with the way enzyme work?
Too cold for enzyme activity.
What is the 4 step process of an enzyme at work?
Substrate binding: The enzyme binds to its substrate. Catalysis: The enzyme facilitates the conversion of the substrate into product. Product release: The enzyme releases the product of the reaction. Enzyme recycling: The enzyme returns to its original state to catalyze further reactions.

What are coemzymes?
These are either a vitamin or mineral that works with an enzyme. The enzyme doesn't work without it (them).
What enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction is known as?
All enzyme's are catalysts for certain chemical reactions. Each enzyme will only work with a certain substrate one analogy being that the enzyme is a key and the substrate is a keyhole, and each enzyme has a unique enzyme.
Some medicines work by blocking enzyme activity in pathogens These medicines are effective because they?
have a shape that fits into the enzyme

How does an activator work?
An activator is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and increases its activity, making the enzyme more efficient in catalyzing a specific reaction. Activators can do this by stabilizing the enzyme's active conformation or by helping the enzyme bind to its substrate more effectively.
After the reaction relaxed structure of enzyme can work again or not?
YES
Will an enzyme work if it denatures?
No if it is denatured, it can no longer preform its functions as an enzyme. You can also think of it as being a dead battery. No more use.
