Speeds up the rates of chemical reactions by providing energy for the cell to use. Thus, the cell is not working as hard to perform the task. You need enzymes to survive. That is one of the reasons why a high temperature fever is a problem, the enzymes that help to keep you alive are denaturing (basically being rendered useless) and without them you cannot live.

There are actually 3 things. Enzymes can break down a substrate, combine two smaller substrates together or they can not do anything to the substrate because they are denatured.

Why do enzymes generally only bind to one type of substrate?
Enzymes act only on a specific substrate due to the active site of the enzymes fits perfectly with the substrate. Like 2 puzzle pieces, they can only go together and not with anything else.
What is the substance on which the enzymes works?
A substrate
How does an enzymes active site relate to it substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
What are 3 characteristics of enzymes?
Temperature/pH/Substrate Concentrate and Inhibitors
The molecule on which an enzyme acts is called an?
The substance on which enzymes act are called substrates.
Why do enzymes generally bind to only type of substrate?
Enzymes act only on a specific substrate due to the active site of the enzymes fits perfectly with the substrate. Like 2 puzzle pieces, they can only go together and not with anything else.

Enzymes act only on a specific substrate due to the active site of the enzymes fits perfectly with the substrate. Like 2 puzzle pieces, they can only go together and not with anything else.
Where does an enzymes join with a substrate?
The enzyme substrate complex
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
Compeition among various enzymes for the same substrate?
Competition among various enzymes for same substrate
What do they compare enzymes to in your everyday life?
enzymes are compared to a substrate.
How does an enzymes active relate to its substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
What is the substance on which the enzymes works?
A substrate
How does an enzymes active site relate to it substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
How does an enzymes activate site relate to its substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
How does an enzymes active site relate to its substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
