Question

write characteristics of enzyme catalysts​

Answer 1

Answer:

Characteristics of enzyme catalysis:

A single molecule of this catalysis can transform a million molecules of the reactant per second. Hence it is highly efficient.

These biochemical catalysts are unique in nature i.e. the same catalyst cannot be used in more than one reaction.

The effectiveness of a catalyst is maximum at its optimum temperature. The activity of the biochemical catalysts declines at either side of the optimum temperature.

Biochemical catalysis is dependent upon the pH of the solution. A catalyst works best at an optimum pH which ranges between 5-7 Ph values.

The activity of the enzymes usually increases in the presence of a coenzyme or an activator such as Na+, Co2+ The rate of the reaction increases due to the presence of a weak bond which exists between the enzyme and a metal ion.

Answer 2

Answer:

1-A catalyst remaining unchanged in Mass and chemical composition at the end of the reaction.

2- A small quantity of catalyst is generally sufficient to catalyses almost unlimited reaction.
