DNA polymerase and helicase are alike how?
Both DNA polymerase and Helicase are:EnzymesCapable of binding double stranded DNAAble to break the hydrogen bonds between the nucleotide bases and hold the single strands apart
What enzyme unzips the DNA molecule?
There are several enzymes that 'unzip' DNA. These enzymes are collectively known as DNA helicases. DNA helicases are helix-destabilizing enzymes that bind to DNA at the origin of replication and break hydrogen bonds, thereby separating the two strands. This allows RNA polymerase to begin transcription (copying) of the DNA sequence.
Does helicase enzymes break the sugar phosphate backbone?
Helicase "zips" the newly formed DNA strand back together, linking the corresponding nucleotides back together.
How enzymes work by?
lowering the energy needed to break bonds.
Do enzymes have effect on chemical bonds?
Yes. They are used as kind of cookie cutters to break chemical bonds and form new ones. Every cell has specific enzymes to make a specific molecule. Sometimes they can run in chains, so you will have 3 enzymes acting upon molecules & elements to produce a final result.

Why are enzymes called makers and breakers?
In genetics, an enzyme known as DNA polymerase effects the copying of DNA there for it helps in replication, as in MAKING, another enzyme known as DNA helicase is used to break the bonds on the nitrogen bases so the strands can separate, BREAKING bonds.

Do enzymes break bonds?
Yup sugar, i believe so
How enzymes work by?
lowering the energy needed to break bonds.
What creates enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins?
Peptide bonds
Do Enzymes raise the activation energy to break the bonds of reactant molecules?
Yes

What enzyme directs DNA replication?
the chains are first separated by enzymes called helicases.the helicase enzymes move along the DNA molecule and break the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases separating the chains. then another enzyme called DNA polymerases comes and separates them even more creating new DNA molecules with new DNA and old DNA.
Which is the function of the DNA helicase enzymes in the DNA replication process?
DNA helicase "unzip," or separate, a strand of DNA at positions called origins. This means that the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs are removed (DNA is double stranded!). When they separate double-stranded DNA into single strands, it allows each strand to be copied (replication). DNA helicases use the energy stored in a molecule called ATP to break the bonds, which serves as the energy currency of cells.
How do helicases unwind a double helix?
Helicase uses free energy from ATP to break the hydrogen bonds between the double helix of the DNA. It breaks the bonds between adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine. This unzips the double helix structure.
