Question 1

What is an Enzyme?

Answer 1

A catalyst to bring about reactions.

Question 2

What is a Substrate?

Answer 2

Something that joins with an enzyme to perform a chemical reaction.

Question 3

What is a Active Site?

Answer 3

Where the substrate joins with the enzyme.

Question 4

What is Activation Energy?

Answer 4

The minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction.

Question 5

What are the properties of Enzymes?

Answer 5

Speed up chemical reactions

Question 6

Relationship between reaction rate and Substrate Concentration

Answer 6

Goes up to a certain point until there are no more enzymes to bond with

Question 7

Relationship between reaction rate and Enzyme Concentration

Answer 7

Goes up to a certain point until there are no more substrates to bond with

Question 8

Relationship between reaction rate and Temperature Concentration

Answer 8

It goes up and then goes down forming a bump

Question 9

Relationship between reaction rate and pH Concentration

Answer 9

Goes up and then down forming bumps depending on the enzyme

Question 10

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

Answer 10

Add more substrates, raise the temperature, and set the pH to something that the enzyme likes.

Question 11

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

Answer 11

Turn the heat way up so it kills everything, set the pH so it kills everything, and lower the number of substrates.

Question 12

Compare and contrast inhibition and activation of enzymes
