7.2 Flashcards
What are the 4 things that affect reaction rate?
enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, temperature, Ph level
what does an inhibitor do?
It turns enzymes off by either taking the spot where the substrate goes or in another part.
What is the active site?
The place where the enzyme and substrate(s) connect and produce the chemical reactions.
What suffix do enzymes typically end in?
-ase
what is the activation energy?
The power input for the reaction, typically the velocity
What is the remaining parts of a chemical reactions?
products
How does each substrate know which enzyme it needs to go to?
The shape will match, and if it doesn’t, it won’t be able to complete the chemical reaction.
Enzymes are ________
catalysts
Once the substrate is in the catalyst/enzyme, what does the enzyme do?
close in around it
