Cells are completely unable to control what enzymes they produce
The variety of enzymes prevents their actions from being inhibited.
The active site of an enzyme can only bind to a specific substrate.
The products of a reaction are always converted into new enzymes.
Enzymes influence chemical reactions in living systems by:
Providing the substrate required for the reaction to occur.
Lowering the activation energy thus affecting the rate at which reactions occur.
Absorbing water released when polymers are formed.
Combining with excess hydrogen to from gaseous wastes.
