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.

How do enzymes enter the cell?

Enzymes are usually too large to pass through the cell membrane on their own. They are often synthesized inside the cell and remain in the cytoplasm, where they can catalyze various reactions. In some cases, specific transport proteins on the membrane can help enzymes enter the cell from the extracellular environment.


What controls reactions in a cell?

Enzymes.


The types of enzymes produced in a cell are regulated by the?

The types of enzymes produced in a cell are regulated by the cell's gene expression and signaling pathways. Gene expression controls which enzymes are made by the cell, while signaling pathways respond to internal and external cues to regulate enzyme production. Factors such as environmental conditions and cellular needs also influence enzyme production.


Does the nucleus contain all the enzymes of the cell?

No, the cell nucleus contains DNA, and while enzymes are used to assist in the replication and transcription process, the vast majority of the cell enzymes are located outside in the cytoplasm.However, the nucleus's DNA contains the code for all the enzymes that the cell will ever create, but this is only code, the actual enzymes are produced with ribosomes in the cytoplasm (through translation)


How many copies of one enzyme are in a cell?

Enzymes can have varying concentrations inside a cell. If the need for an enzyme is small then few enzymes will be in the cell however if there a signal to the cell that would cause a drastic need for more enzymes then the production and thus the concentration would increase.

Where within a cell are catalyst synthesized?

Enzymes are natural catalysts produced by cells, and all enzymes are proteins made in the cytoplasm of the cell by translation of genetic material (mRNA).


What are enzymes in plant cells made from?

Enzymes in plant cells are made from amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are in turn the building blocks of enzymes. Enzymes are typically produced in organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus before being transported to their final destination within the cell.

How many enzymes are in one cell?

There can be thousands of different enzymes in a single cell. Each enzyme has specific functions that help catalyze and regulate the various chemical reactions that occur within the cell. The number and types of enzymes present in a cell can vary depending on the cell type and its metabolic needs.

What group of molecules are enzymes?

Most enzymes are proteins. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell. Enzymes are known to catalyze about 4,000 biochemical reactions.


What part of a cell contains many enzymes?

The cytoplasm is the part of the cell that contains many enzymes. Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions within the cell, helping to regulate various cellular processes.
