Enzymes are very efficient catalysts for biochemical reactions. They do not undergo permanent changes and so remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.
I think it frees itself from the product and is ready to be reused.
The enzyme is unchanged by the reaction.
enzyme sped up the chemical reaction
enzyme
None: The catalyst remains unchanged, but the catalyst also speeds up the 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.

After a biochemical reaction, an enzyme typically remains unchanged and can be reused in other reactions.
The enzyme is unchanged by the 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.
The enzyme is unchanged by the reaction.
A molecule that speeds up a chemical reaction is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by reducing the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur, which increases the rate of the reaction without being consumed in the process.
to speed up a chemical 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.
The enzyme is a biochemical catalyst.
No a catalyst is unchanged by a chemical reaction, it does however serve to speed up the rate of the reaction.
A catalyst must change the rate of a chemical reaction. It must be unchanged at the end of the reaction.
