Protein is an essential part of a healthy diet because,
Breaks down into amino acids
Fiber is important because
It’s a carbohydrate which is a good carb.
Primary source of energy is what…

What are enzymes?
Proteins
Enzymes do what to chemical reactions
Speed up chemical reactions
Chemical reactions done by living organisms are known as…
Metabolism
Proteins are made out of amino acids, so what are enzymes made out of?
Amino Acids
What part of the enzyme binds the substrate
Active Site
The substance that enters the active site is the…..
Substrate
A protein that catalyzes or speeds up a reaction is a….
ENZYME!!!!
This is the result of a chemical reaction
A product
Enzymes are specific this means
each enzyme can only react with one type of substrate
What factor determines the specificity of an enzyme?
The shape
What are three factors that affect enzymes?
Temperature, pH, substrate concentration
At high temperatures, the enzyme denatures, what does this mean?
It has lost its shape and it doesn’t work anymore
