5.1

Question 1

Enzyme

Answer 1

catalyst to a reaction

Question 2

Substrate

Answer 2

attaches to enzyme to make a reaction

Question 3

Active site

Answer 3

where the substrate meets with the enzyme. has a specific shape

Question 4

Activation energy

Answer 4

the minimum amount of energy for a reaction to occur

Question 5

properties of enzymes

Answer 5

catalyzes the reaction and has a specific shape of active site for the substrate to fit into

Question 6

substrate concintration

Answer 6

if their are more substrates their will be more reactions until their are to many and not enough enzymes

Question 7

enzyme concintration

Answer 7

if their are more enzymes then the reaction rate will go up until their are too many and their are not enough substrates

Question 8

temp

Answer 8

temp can cause the reaction to not happen because it will denature the stuff

Question 9

ph

Answer 9

will denature the stuff needed for a reaction

Question 10

How would you maximize enzyme activity considering all of the factors discussed in class? Minimize?

Answer 10

have more substrates, but not to many have a neutral ph and a temp thats close to body temp and make sure that you dont push anything to the extreme so that the reaction never happens

Question 11

Compare and contrast inhibition and activation of enzymes

Answer 11

a substance that blocks the reaction of an enzyme vs when a reaction can take place because their is the right activation site. They both attach to the enzyme and they both have different parts connecting to the enzyme without being in the activation site
