Enzymes are proteins that are able to catalyze (i.e accelerate) biochemical reactions. During the course of a reaction, the enzyme is able to convert a substrate to a product but the enzyme does not get consumed in the reaction.

Are Enzymes are not chemically altered in a reaction?
Yes. That is the actual definition of an enzyme.
The definition of enzyme?
an enzyme is a complex protein that cause a specific chemical change in other substances, without being changed themselves.
What is the definition of a product in biology?
The result that is released after a enzyme & substrate have had a chemical reaction.
At the conclusion of an enzyme catalyzed reaction what does the the enzyme do?
I think it frees itself from the product and is ready to be reused.
Is an enzyme a substance?
Yes, an enzyme is a substance, an organic substance, because it is a protein, and all proteins contain carbon, which is the definition of an organic substance. I had to find this out for Biology GCSE and found that not many people actually knew. Hope it helps :O)
What is the definition of a Rubisco?
Rubisco is an important enzyme
What is the definition of enzyme specificity?
each enzyme has a specific substrate to which it binds through a definite active site and any other enzyme can not bind to it
What is the specific definition of glycogen synthetase?
an enzyme that assists in the breakdown of glycogen
Are Enzymes are not chemically altered in a reaction?
Yes. That is the actual definition of an enzyme.
What the definition of Substrate?
The reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Or, A substance with which a enzyme binds itself and form a complex product, a chemical reaction takes place between enzyme and substrate.
The definition of enzyme?
an enzyme is a complex protein that cause a specific chemical change in other substances, without being changed themselves.
What is the definition of apoenzyme?
The protein component of an enzyme that combines with the coenzyme to form the active enzyme. See the related link for further information.
Is an enzyme an organic substance?
Yes, an enzyme is an organic substance, because it is a protein, and all proteins contain carbon, which is the definition of an organic substance.
What is the definition of a product in biology?
The result that is released after a enzyme & substrate have had a chemical reaction.
What the definition of enzymez?
An enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism and assisting in chemical processes.
What is never destroyed or created in chemical reactions?
An enzyme in a biochemical reaction fits this definition.
What is the definition of phenolase?
An oxidoreductase enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of phenols and other related substances.
