What do enzymes do in your bodies?

the information of the enzymes are in the nucleus made in the cytoplasm so the messenger goes to the cytoplasm to make a new protien then it is sent to the blood so it can go where it is needed


Why do enzymes generally bind to only type of substrate?

Enzymes act only on a specific substrate due to the active site of the enzymes fits perfectly with the substrate. Like 2 puzzle pieces, they can only go together and not with anything else.

What group of biomolecules do enzymes belong?

The proteins. Enzymes are constructed from chains of amino acids and go through the usual four stages of protein assembly.


How are enzymes recycled?

Enzymes are typically recycled in living systems by being released from their substrate and remaining unchanged after catalyzing a reaction. They can then go on to catalyze more reactions. In some cases, enzymes may be modified or degraded after use and their components reused to make new enzymes.

Where do enzymes go after digestion are they excreted out of the body or reused if yes then please explain and I am talking about both extracellular as well as those which work inside cell.?

Enzymes are NOT used during the reaction. They just facilitate the reaction and help them go faster. It is true that there is turnover of the enzyme, as all enzymes are themselves, proteins. So there is continuous protein degradation and protein synthesis going on. But the enzymes themselves are NOT excreted from the body. Some of the protein degradation products may be excreted in the urine.


Do enzymes that are cooled to 0c digest food?

Enzymes that are cooled to 0°C typically have reduced activity or are completely inactive. Generally, enzymes have optimal activity at specific temperatures, and cooling them can slow down their ability to catalyze reactions. Therefore, at 0°C, the rate of digestion by these enzymes would be significantly reduced or halted.
