Do all enzymes behave in a similar manner?

Answer 1

all enzymes speed up chemical reactions. HOWEVER, not all do it at the same speed.

Answer 2

Yes and no. All enzymes speed up reactions by creating a favorable environment for the reaction, and by helping it along by temporarily binding to the reagents. However, the details are different for every enzyme. Most enzymes have some kind of inhibitor, and many have accelerators, all of which have multiple possibilities of how they work. Some enzymes are a single protein, while others are multiple subunits that may or may not be identical. Some enzymes can be embedded in a cell membrane.

Answer 3

In the most general sense yes. All enzymes lower the 'activation energy' required for a chemical reaction to occur. These "catalysts" permit more units of reaction to complete because less energy per unit of reaction is required.

Answer 4

Well in ways yes, but no. Enzymes carry out all of the cells functions. Each enzyme has a different job, but they each contribute to cell function.

Answer 5

if you're asking in the way they generally function, then yes.

all enzymes work via the lock and key hypothesis.
also they lower the activation energy required for the reaction so chemical reaction is hastened.
