$\textbf{Your Answer}$>>>

$\textbf{Characteristics Of Enzyme Catalysts}$>>>

✔ $\textbf{High Efficiency}$>>>

Enzyme catalysts increase the speed of reactions by $\upper{10}^{20}$ times as compared to the uncatalysed reactions. So the enzymes are highly efficient.

✔ $\textbf{Specificity}$>>>

The enzyme catalysts are highly specific in nature.Almost every biochemical reaction is controlled by its own specific enzymes.

✔ $\textbf{Optimum pH }$>>>

The rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction is maximum at a particular pH called optimum pH.This is between pH values of 5 - 7.

Few Characteristics of enzymes

⇒ Enzymes act as a catalyst . They do not take part in the bio-chemical reaction.However they change the rate of the reaction

⇒ Enzymes are very specific.They only act on particular substrates and are specific in their actions

⇒ Enzymes are complex macromolecules like sugars.They are made up of many molecules combined together.

⇒ Enzymes can only function at an optimum temperature of 35 - 40°C.

⇒ Enzymes are proteins and they behave like proteins.

⇒ Enzymes are active and rapid in action.

⇒ These enzymes are affected by hormones secreted by endocrine glands
