A different enzyme controls each step of what?

A different enzyme controls each step of a metabolic pathway. This ensures that each chemical reaction in the pathway is tightly regulated and allows for efficient energy usage and production.


Why is it necessary for a cell to produce one enzyme molecule for every substrate molecule that needs to be catalyzed?

Because evey substrate needs its own enzyme. Every substance has it depends upon the dissociation constant for the enzyme/substrate interaction. Some enzymes can catalyze reactions for low-affinity substrates, as long as the concentration of substrate molecules is great enough.


Is an enzyme a substance?

Yes, an enzyme is a substance, an organic substance, because it is a protein, and all proteins contain carbon, which is the definition of an organic substance. I had to find this out for Biology GCSE and found that not many people actually knew. Hope it helps :O)


How many different types of food can an enzyme break down?

Enzymes are specific to just one particular substrate eg. lipase can only break down fats, protease can only break down protein, and amylase is specific only to starch molecules. This is because each enzyme has a different shaped active site which matches the molecular shape of just one substance.


Is density unique to each substance?

Yes, density is unique to each substance. It is a physical property that is defined as the mass of a substance per unit volume. Different substances have different densities based on their molecular structure and composition.

Why do each substance have different amount of resistance?

Resistance of a material is depend on the force required to withdraw electrons from the atoms of that material.

Can each type of enzyme speed up different reactions?

yes


How did the results of Beadle and Tatum's experiment support their hypothesis?

As Beadle and Tatum had predicted, they were able to create single gene mutations that incapacitated specific enzymes, so that the molds with these mutations required an external supply of the substance that the enzyme normally produced, and the substance that the enzyme normally used, piled up in the cell. These results led them to the one gene/one enzyme hypothesis, which states that each gene is responsible for directing the building of a single, specific enzyme.

Energy required to boil one mole of a substance?

The energy required to boil one mole of a substance is called the heat of vaporization. This value is different for each substance and represents the amount of energy needed to convert one mole of a liquid to a gas at its boiling point temperature. It is typically given in units of joules per mole (J/mol).

Why does stomach and small intestine produce different enzymes?

because each enzyme has an own purpose


What is the temperature at which a substance change from a solid into a liquid?

This temperature is called melting point and is different for each substance or material.


What are the different molecule colors present in the substance?

The substance contains various molecules that each have their own unique color.
