Are enzyme's specific?

because you get to watch the reaction being formed


The definition of enzyme?

an enzyme is a complex protein that cause a specific chemical change in other substances, without being changed themselves.


What is a substrate in the context of enzyme reaction?

Enzyme-substrate specificity means that a substrate can fit into an enzyme similar to a key fitting into a lock. The active site of the enzyme is what determines its specificity. An enzyme can hence catalyze a reaction with a specific substrate, such as amylase catalyzing starch molecules. During these reactions, the substrate is held in a precise optimum position to create and break bonds, catalyzing the molecule.


The difference between substrate and active site?

A substrate is the molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme. The active site is a specific region of the enzyme where the substrate binds, leading to a chemical reaction. In other words, the substrate is the molecule being acted upon, while the active site is the location on the enzyme where the reaction takes place.


In the equation Q mcΔT c represents .?

The specific heat of the substance being heated.


What is the definition of an emzyme?

An enzyme is a biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Enzymes are usually proteins that bind to specific molecules called substrates and help convert them into products.


What chemical speeds up the chemical breakdown of food?

A substance that speeds the changing of food into a usable form* is called an enzyme. More generally, in any chemical context, a substance that speeds a reaction without itself being changed is called a catalyst._______________________________________*This changing of food into a usable form is called "digestion".


What are Enzymes are responsible for?

Enzyme, a substance that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without itself being altered in the process.


What does heat capacity depend on?

Heat capacity depends on the substance's mass, the substance's specific heat capacity, and the temperature at which the substance is being heated. It is a measure of how much energy is required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius.


Explain how the specific heat of a substance is determined?

specific heat is the amount of heat to be absorbed required to raise a substance 1 degree celsius. And by heat being absorbed, i mean energy, because specific heat is measured in joules


What are the factors that affect on rate of specific gravity?

The factors that affect specific gravity include temperature, pressure, and the density of the substance being measured. Temperature changes can cause the volume of a substance to expand or contract, affecting its specific gravity. Pressure changes can also alter the density of a substance, impacting its specific gravity measurement.


Do x rays work as enzyme?

No. I'm trying to follow the chain of logic that could lead to this being a reasonable thing to ask, and failing. You might want to try asking again, being more specific as to how you might possibly think X-rays could be an enzyme.
