Enzymes are basically catalysts, and they act just how you'd expect a catalyst to.

What happens to an enzyme after a biochemical reaction?

After a biochemical reaction, the enzyme remains unchanged and is free to catalyze more reactions. Enzymes are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly, making them efficient catalysts.


What do enzymes to do a chemical reaction?

Enzymes are catalysts in a chemical reaction, they are used in chemistry to increase the speed of a specific chemical reaction. A single enzyme will not speed up multiple chemical reactions, usually it is limited to one reactant.


Is it true that Enzymes are not consumed during a chemical reaction?

Correct. Enzymes help to speed up chemical reactions. They may speed them up, costing them some energy, but they are never used up.


What happens to an enzyme after it catalyzes a chemical reaction?

Enzymes are not used up in a chemical reaction. Usually, the enzyme will "reset" and be ready to use in another reaction. This is due to the fact that enzymes are proteins, and their shape is what they use in a chemical reaction. Initially, the enzyme has a particular shape. Something happens to the enzyme (usually a shape change, called a conformation change, brought on by the presence of two or more chemical reactants), and the enzyme catalyzes the reaction. After the reaction is catalyzed, the product is released, and the enzyme can "relax." This means it goes back to its normal shape, ready to do it all over again.


How does the interaction between an enzyme and its substrates change chemical reaction?

Enzymes speed up the chemical reactions because when it forms a complex with its substrates, it reduces the activation energy that the reaction needs to proceed. Remember that the reaction itself is not altered, only the rate of reaction, and that the enzyme is not used or altered in the reactions.

What should not be used to indicate a chemical reaction?

Change of shape can not be used to indicate a chemical reaction has happened. Examples of evidence of a chemical reaction are changes in odor or color.


What will happen to an enzyme now that is reaction completed?

The enzyme will be re-used in another reaction.


What does a enzyme do in chemical reaction?

An enzyme generally lowers the activation energy necessary for a reaction to proceed. This in turn may cause more of the reactants to go to products.


Is an enzyme consumed in a reaction?

No, enzymes are not consumed in a reaction. Instead, they facilitate and speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed. Enzymes remain unchanged and can be used repeatedly.


Name given to a substance used to speed up chemical reaction?

What is a chemical used to speed up a reaction called?

In chemistry it's called a catalyst. In biology it's usually a protein and is called an enzyme.
