What is enzyme inhibition? Describe reversible and irreversible enzyme inhibition. Why is Kcat/Km referred to as the efficiency of an enzyme? What enzymes serve as catalysts in metabolism? What role do enzymes
Explain enzymes. Describe the role of the digestive enzymes and the factors that affect their function. HINT: Think about the effect of enzymes on large macromolecules and what causes enzymes to change. How do enzymes affect the energy of activation of the un-...
The proteins which perform the role of biological catalysts in the body are called enzymes . E.g. Trypsin .
(i) The chemical substances which give sweetening effect to food but do not add any caloric to our body are called artificial sweetening agents. For examples, saccharin, is used by diabetic patients. (ii) Enzymes : The proteins which perform the role
(a) What is the difference between an enzyme and a catalyst? (b) How are they similar? How does an enzyme perform catalytic activity with a substrate molecule? What is the role of enzymes as a catalyst? Explain why enzyme activity varies with pH and how temperature can affect the rate...
Enzymes: These proteins are found in all living organisms and work like catalysts. These enzymes act on substrates, which will help convert the enzymes into products. They also play a vital role in metabolism. Answer and Explanation: ...
The catalyst is a type of substance having the potential of speeding up the chemical reaction rate without being absorbed in the reaction. It can never start a reaction and have the capability of regeneration. Different catalysts are named below. ...
All functioning enzymes have a specific shape that they adopt to become functional. The function of enzymes cannot occur if they do not fold into their appropriate shapes.Answer and Explanation: When an enzyme is denatured, it loses its natural three-dimensional shape whic...
Catalysts are substances that speed up a chemical reaction without themselves participating in the reaction. Catalysts that speed up the biochemical reaction occurring in the cells of living organisms are called enzymes. Enzymes are usually proteins, with the amino acids comprising the protein c...
Why does the enzyme function depend on temperature and pH homeostasis? Why are enzymes called biological catalysts? Explain how enzymes are useful in both anabolic and catabolic reactions. Why is pH important to enzymes? Describe three unifying structural themes of enzyme action. Focus on the protei...
