Describe how enzymes affect chemical reactions and explain why this makes enzymes important to living things. What are important enzymes in the human body? What are the main functions of constitutive enzymes? Explain why a particular enzyme will only fit with one particular type of substrate....
How do transcription enzymes know the sequence of DNA that is to be translated into a required protein? Name the three enzymes involved in DNA replication and their function. Name the two enzymes involved in a replication of DNA. What are proteins that bind to prokaryotic promoters to start tr...
Ideas of how a system of interacting enzymes can act as a switch are based on the concept of bistability of a biochemical network. This means that, because of the very structure of a signaling pathway, the system can be in one of two stable steady states: active or inactive. Switching fr...
The other mechanism occurs independently of these particular cell cycle processes, but involves regulation of protein degradation by lysosomal enzymes. This latter mechanism is referred to as a cell cycle-independent mechanism. In vivo studies suggest that both compensatory renal hypertrophy following uni...
Which digestive organ processes blood from digestive organs and makes bile? What type of enzyme do both the salivary glands and the pancreas secrete? List the enzymes that aid in carbohydrate digestion and give their source. Which digestive accessory organ produces a fluid tha...
Cells also contain lysosomes, vesicles that contain powerful enzymes that break down waste or unwanted visitors. These are like the cellular answer to a clean-up crew. References Scitable by Nature Education: Cell Membranes Eastern Tennessee State University: Cell Organelles and Reproduction ...
Lysosomesare a round, membrane-bound vesicle created by the Golgi apparatus. They are filled with enzymes that break down a number of molecules, such as complex carbohydrates, amino acids and phospholipids. Lysosomes are part of the endomembrane system like the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic ...

Pancreatic cancer starts in the pancreas. The pancreas is located just behind the stomach. It helps digest food by making enzymes. The pancreas also makes hormones, such as insulin, to help balance blood sugar levels.What increases my risk for pancreatic cancer?
Why are enzymes important to cells? What enzyme makes things fluorescent? How does pH affect enzymes? How are enzymes involved in regulating energy metabolism? What process typically regulates the enzymes involved in metabolic reactions? How do enzymes increase the rate of a chemical reaction?
