Let say enzyme 1 has a shape of A. When it encounters a solute particle of shape A', enzyme jumps on the particle so to speak changing its shape to A'' and back to A' in less than nano second and when that shape change happens the solute particle becomes highly unstable and now can react with other solute particles and hence carry out the reaction. Enzyme jumps on substrate --> substrate unstable --> enzyme jumps back out of substrate --> unstable substrate reacts with another substrate.

What is a good sentence of the word enzyme?

Enzymes are used to speed up reactions with out being consumed, or change in structure.


Are enzymes used up in the reactions they catalyse?

The main function of enzymes in catabolic and anabolic reactions is to speed up the reactions and are therefore regarded as catalysts. Catabolic refers to break down of molecules while anabolic refers to build up of molecules.


What is made of enzymes?

enzymes are made up of protein; enzymes are used to speed up chemical reactions.


What does it mean if enzymes are organic catalyst?

Enzymes are organic catalysts. A catalyst is a chemical that controls the rate of a reaction, but is itself not used up in the process. Reactions that are accelerated due to the presence of enzymes are known as enzyme-catalyzed reactions.


Do enzymes get used up in a reaction, or do they remain unchanged and available to catalyze multiple reactions?

Enzymes remain unchanged and available to catalyze multiple reactions. They are not used up in a reaction.


Can enzymes be used more than once why or why not?

Yes, enzymes can be used more than once because they are not consumed in the chemical reactions they catalyze. Enzymes facilitate reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, and once the reaction is complete, they can dissociate and be available to catalyze further reactions.


Enzymes are carbohydrates that act as catalysts in metabolic reactions true or false?

FALSE!Enzymes are PROTEINS that can act as catalysts in metabolic reactions.


What is are the proteins called that are used to speed up chemical reactions?

The proteins that speed up chemical reactions are called enzymes. Enzymes function as biological catalysts, facilitating reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.


Is it true enzymes decrease the rates of chemical reactions?

No, enzymes actually increase the rates of chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They do this by providing an alternative pathway for the reaction to proceed more easily.
