3.4 Flashcards
1
Q
Enzyme
A
A protein designed to act as a catalyst in chemical reactions.
2
Q
Substrate
A
The to be product that binds to the enzyme.
3
Q
Activation energy
A
The required energy to begin the chemical reaction.
4
Q
Active Site
A
The location on the enzyme where the substrate binds.
5
Q
Inhibator
A
A protien that binds to the enzyme and changes its active site in a way that prevents it from binding to the substrate.
6
Q
Tempreture.
A
Diping below 40 degrees C will slow the reaction rate and going above 40 degrees will cause the proteins to begin to denature.
7
Q
Substrate concentration.
A
Will increase the reaction rate but eventually taper out.
8
Q
Enzyme concentration.
A
WIll decrease the reaction rate.
9
Q
pH
A
will cause the enzymes to not work proporly if it rises or falls below 7 pH.
