What are enzymes? Write in brief What are enzymes? Write in brief Que. What are enzymes? Write in brief the mechanism of enzyme catalysis. Ans. Enzymes are protein molecules of high molecular mass and form colloidal solutions in water. These are present in plants and animals and behave as biochemical catalysts or biocatalysts. Enzymes catalyze reactions occurring in human beings. Mechanism of enzyme catalysis: A number of cavities are present on the surface of colloidal particles of enzymes. These cavities are of a characteristic shape and possess active groups like -NH2, -COOH, -SH, -OH, etc. These are actually the action…

Structure of Atom Class 9 – Science Chapter 4 Structure of Atom Class 9 Structure of Atom The term atom was introduced by Dalton and is defined as the smallest particle of an element that retains all its properties and identity during a chemical reaction. SUB – ATOMIC PARTICLE (i) Discovery of Electron Electron was discovered by J J Thomson through the Cathode ray discharge tube experiment. A cathode-ray tube is made of glass containing two thin pieces of metal (called electrodes) sealed in it. The electrical discharge through the gases could be observed only at very low pressures and…
