A1. Role of Enzymes in Processes Enzymes are organic catalysts that help to speed up the breakdown of a molecule‚ such as fructose. The enzyme helps a chemical reaction take place quickly so that the reaction happens properly. In order for that to happen the enzymes process by the lock and key model‚ the lock is the substrate and the enzyme is the key. The active sites are specific to a certain substrate of a molecule‚ so the enzymes only have one job to do. The shape of an enzyme is not changed

Dengue hemorrhagic fever‚ also called breakbone fever‚ is caused by a virus found in tropical and subtropical areas and transmitted by a mosquito bite. Incubation is usually 3 to 6 days after the bite. Signs and symptoms include fever‚ severe joint and muscle pain‚ and rash. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a more severe presentation of dengue fever caused by the same mosquito bite. A strain of Arbovirus caused Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Characteristics
