Emzymes

Question 1

What is an enzyme?

Answer 1

Organic Catalysts

Proteins which speed up chemical reactions.

Question 2

Structure of Enzymes?

Answer 2

All enzymes are proteins with specific active sights.

Question 3

Function of Enzymes?

Answer 3

Lower activation energy of a chemical reaction.

Question 4

3 Enzyme facts:

Answer 4

1) each enzyme has an active site
2) enzymes are VERY specific
3) enzymes are revycled

Question 5

Activation Energy

Answer 5

Energy needed to start chemical reaction.

Question 6

Induced fit model

Answer 6

A slight change in shape to Create a tight fit.

Question 7

Lock and key model

Answer 7

Substrate fits like a key in a lock.

Question 8

Factors that affect enzymatic speed:

Answer 8

Ph
Temp.
Substrate
Enzyme concentration
Cofactors
Feedback inhibition

Question 9

Feedback inhibition:

Answer 9

Ed products control action when end product binds to enzyme and no longer functions

Question 10

Inhibitor:

Answer 10

A molecule which stops the enzyme

Question 11

Competitive:

Answer 11

Bind to the active sight, an be removed when substrates gang up

Question 12

Non competitive

Answer 12

Bind to separate active sights and change have of normal active sights
