2.5 Enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
Enzymes
A
Biological catylists made up of protein that speed up the rate of reaction
Ends in “ase”
2
Q
Enzyme structure
A
3
Q
Energy needed to make and break chemical bonds
A
Activation energy
Enzymes recude the amount of activation energy needed
4
Q
Uncatalyzed vs Catalyzed Reactions
A
Uncatalyzed requires a higher activation energy
Both have same free energy
5
Q
Key and lock model
A
Certain substrates for certain enzymes
Key = Substrate
Lock = Enzyme
6
Q
Condensation reaction
A
Forms 1 product from 2 substrates producing water forming covalent bonds
7
Q
Effects of Temp, pH and Substrate concentration
A
Temp. Optimum temp then enzyme denatures
pH. Optimum pH then enzyme denatures
Substrate. Optimum concentration, then cannot do more at a time
