Well during an enzyme catalyzed reaction the enzyme bonds with a specific substrate at the active site. This is called an enzyme-substrate complex. The substrate is converted into a specific product, but the enzyme remains unchanged. Enzymes accelerate reactions by factors of at least a million.Enzymes are not used up in a chemical reaction. Usually, the enzyme will "reset" and be ready to use in another reaction. This is due to the fact that enzymes are proteins, and their shape is what they use in a chemical reaction. Initially, the enzyme has a particular shape. Something happens to the enzyme (usually a shape change, called a conformation change, brought on by the presence of two or more chemical reactants), and the enzyme catalyzes the reaction. After the reaction is catalyzed, the product is released, and the enzyme can "relax." This means it goes back to its normal shape, ready to do it all over again

Hope it helps

During any outbreak or whenever problems occur, there are always three major steps to take.

1. First, is the containment action. In this step, actions are taken to reduce or lessen the severity of the people affected. This aims in isolating the disease. In this step, scientific knowledge is used in making decision on what containment actions to take.

2. Second is the corrective action. This step focuses solely on formulating medicine to treat the disease. Once again scientific knowledge is used in creating those medicines.

3. Third is the preventive action. To prevent this disease outbreak from recurring, certain actions are made to ensure this does not happen again.

Why would chemical weathering affect the kinds of minerals in soil as the soil is formed??

Vilka [71]

Process by which the internal structure of a mineral is altered by the addition or removal of elements. Change in phase (mineral type) and composition are due to the action of chemical agents. Chemical weathering is dependent on available surface for reaction temperature and presence of chemically active fluids.
