Depends on what enzyme is missing, if it is an enzyme such as the one that converts milk or wheat into amino acids (gluten and lactose intolerance) then simply avoiding these things will solve the problem, however if it is something such as a deionase problem (the enzyme which converts T4 thyroxine into T3 thyroxine) then medication will be required, some forms of enzyme deformity result in death usually in a child's early years (although thankfully rare).

Which statement will be describe how enzymes effect chemical reactions?

Enzymes lower the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction.


How are people albino due to a lack of enzymes?

Without the proper enzymes, melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, cannot be produce. Normally, enzymes are made by cells using a gene or genes from the DNA. However, if a person has a mutation so that either they do not produce enough melanin or they cannot properly make melanin, or they cannot manufacture melanin period, or another such problem, the person will be an albino- they will lack pigmentation.


What are the two environmental factors that effect the function of enzymes?

tempeture,ph, solute concentration and salt content


Explain the effect of mineral and vitamin deficiency on enzyme activity?

Mineral and vitamin deficiencies can impair enzyme activity by disrupting the cofactors that enzymes depend on to function. For example, a lack of magnesium can impact ATPase activity, while a deficiency in vitamin C can affect collagen synthesis due to impaired prolyl hydroxylase activity. Overall, enzyme activity is highly dependent on the presence of appropriate cofactors, and mineral and vitamin deficiencies can lead to decreased enzyme function and potential health consequences.


What is a serum enzymes?

Serum enzymes are proteins found in the bloodstream that can indicate damage or injury to specific organs or tissues in the body. By measuring the levels of certain serum enzymes, doctors can assess the health of various organs such as the heart, liver, or muscles. Abnormal levels of serum enzymes can help diagnose conditions such as heart attacks, liver disease, and muscle disorders.
