Where are enzymes active in the body at pH 4 and 5?
Enzymes are active in the stomach, which has an acidic pH between 1.5 and 3.5. At this pH, pepsin is an enzyme that digests proteins. Enzymes in the body typically have optimal pH ranges where they are most active.
Are most enzymes much smaller than their substrates?
Yes, most enzymes are smaller in size compared to their substrates. Enzymes typically have specific active sites where they bind with their substrates to catalyze chemical reactions. This specific interaction allows enzymes to facilitate reactions despite being smaller in size.
Why will only certain substrate molecules fit into the active site?
It will only bind with the enzymes active site of the shapes are complimentary and enzymes are very specific
What diseases disrupt the nerve cells?
Most viral or immune active bio chemicals/enzymes/hormones related diseases.
What effect do temperature and pH have on enzyme controlled reactions?
Temperature and pH can greatly impact enzyme activity. Enzymes have an optimal temperature and pH at which they function most effectively. High temperatures can denature enzymes, reducing their activity, while extreme pH levels can also affect enzyme structure and function. Changes in temperature or pH outside the optimal range can slow down or even stop enzyme-controlled reactions.

Structure that produces most of the hydrolytic enzymes that are active in the small intestant?
The pancreas
Difference between enzyme and active site?
enzymes are from the testicular area and are in sperm. The active sight is the creation of enzymes in the scrotum
Are most enzymes much smaller than their substrates?
Yes, most enzymes are smaller in size compared to their substrates. Enzymes typically have specific active sites where they bind with their substrates to catalyze chemical reactions. This specific interaction allows enzymes to facilitate reactions despite being smaller in size.
How does an enzymes active relate to its substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
Why will only certain substrate molecules fit into the active site?
It will only bind with the enzymes active site of the shapes are complimentary and enzymes are very specific
After a meal of greasy french fries which enzymes would you expect to be most active?
salivary and pancreatic amylase, dissaccharideases, lipase

High temperatures can denature enzymes, reducing their activity, while extreme pH levels can also affect enzyme structure and function. Changes in temperature or pH outside the optimal range can slow down or even stop enzyme-controlled reactions.
Do enzymes have two active center?
No, enzymes typically have one active site where substrate molecules can bind and undergo chemical reactions. This active site is usually a region of the enzyme with a specific three-dimensional structure that is complementary to the substrate molecule.
How does an enzymes active site relate to it's substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
What is the attachment site of enzymes called?
Active site.
