Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They speed up the rate of the reaction without being consumed in the process. Enzymes are specific to the substrate they act on, ensuring that only the correct reaction occurs.

Enzymes that destroy things are called what?
First of all enzymes dont 'destroy'. They break down molecules to simpler ones. These are called breaker enzymes.
Why do living things depend on enzymes?
Living things depend on enzymes because enzymes are proteins that catalyze or speed up chemical reactions in the body. Enzymes are essential for processes such as digestion, metabolism, and cellular functioning. Without enzymes, these reactions would occur too slowly to sustain life.
What are two things that can affect the enzymes shape?
Salt concentration and the pH! also the temperature and activations and inhibitors affect an enzymes actions
What are enzymes inside of cells called?
Enzymes are proteins, which are comprised of chains of amino acids. All enzymes are proteins (but not all proteins are enzymes)
Why do living things use enzymes instead of a heat source of activation energy?
Living things use enzymes instead of a heat source of activation energy because they speed up chemical reactions as well as the metabolism in those living things.
What are 3 things stored in vacuoles?
Water, metabolic wastes, and enzymes
Can living things survive with out enzymes?
Living things rely on enzymes to carry out essential chemical reactions in their bodies. Without enzymes, these reactions would occur too slowly or not at all, leading to the inability to survive. Therefore, living things cannot survive without enzymes.
What 3 organs are enzymes present?
what are the 3 organs that contribute enzymes and chemicals into the small intestine
Do metal coins have enzymes?
No. Enzymes are biological and thus are related to living things; metals are not biological.
Do enzymes always break things apart or do they ever put things together?
Enzymes can only BREAK DOWN things. Whether its food, chemicals, etc. The point of enzymses are TO break things down.
What is the sac of enzymes that digest things?
lysosome
What does ammonia do to things?
Ammonia will denature enzymes.
How do enzymes affect the reaction in living things?
Enzymes act as catalysts. They speed up the reaction time.
Enzymes that destroy things are called what?
First of all enzymes dont 'destroy'. They break down molecules to simpler ones. These are called breaker enzymes.
What to enzymes do?
Enzymes attach to things called substrates to help speed up the reaction. Only certain enzymes match the shape of certain substrates.
What do you call catalysts within living things?
Enzymes
What is the class of catalysts found in living things?
Enzymes
