A
Active Site
3
Q
What hypothesis is used to show how enzymes work?
A
Lock and Key model
4
Q
When can enzymes only speed up a reaction?
A
When they bind to a substrate
5
Q
Name three factors that need to be at an optimum for an enzyme to work at its best
A
.Temperature
.PH
.Substrate Concentration
6
Q
What is enzyme specificity?
A
This is when the enzyme binds with the active site that has the complimentary shape
7
Q
What will happen to an enzyme if the PH is too high or too low?
A
The forces that make up the amino acid chains that make up the protein will be affected
