2.1.4 Enzymes Flashcards
Do enzymes affect structure or function?
both
What structure do enzymes have? (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary)
tertiary 3D
Shape of enzymes?
specific
What are enzymes?
- control the rate of reactions
- globular proteins
- biological catalysts
define anabolic reactions
require energy and usually combine simple molecules to form new storage molecules
define catabolic reactions
release energy by breaking larger molecules into more simple molecules
intracellular reactions …
happen within the cell
extracellular reactions…
reactions that happen outside the cell
difference between intracellular and extracellular enzymes
- both made inside cells but extracellular enzymes used outside, released by exocytosis
examples of extracellular enzymes
- protease
- amylase
examples of intracellular enzymes
- DNA helicase + polymerase
- RNA polymerase
example of an enzyme that catalases intracellular reactions
catalase
2 enzymes that catalase extracellular reactions
amylase and tripsin
