Question 1

enzymes provide a alternate energy pathway, reducing activation energy

Answer 1

but why is this flipped upside down?

Question 2

what is Denaturation….

Answer 2

the deformation in the shape of the protein due to excess heat or PH.
Causing it to be unable to carry out its function, which is as a catalyst

Question 3

How do enzymes speed up a reacton?

Answer 3

It helps by providing alternate pathway, hence more substrates have the the minimum activation energy, resulting in a higher rate of effective collisions, increasing rate of reaction

Question 4

Remains unchanged at the end of the reaction

Answer 4

enzyme

Question 5

what is lock and what is key?

Answer 5

enzyme is lock (specific active site being the area where the key fits) and substrate being key

Question 6

what is lock and what is key?

Answer 6

enzyme is lock (specific active site being the area where the key fits) and substrate being key
