Q

What is the substance the enzyme acts on

24
Q

Active sight

A

Part of the enzyme that combines with the substrate

25
Q

The active sight is fixed to

A

Fit the substrate

26
Q

What happens when the substrate enters the active sight

A

It changes shape slightly

27
Q

What is it called when the enzyme fits precisely around the substrate

A

Induced fit model

28
Q

Inhibitors

A

Can prevent enzymes from working

29
Q

What type of enzymes do inhibitors attach to

A

Nerve transmissions

30
Q

What dénaturés an enzyme involved in respiration

31
Q

Eg of an inhibitor

32
Q

Beneficial inhibitors

A

Pain killers

Antibiotics

33
Q

Dentatured enzymes

A

Lots it’s active shape and can no longer carry out its function

34
Q

Bioprocessing

A

Use of enzyme controlled reactions to produce a product

35
Q

Eg of bioprocessing

A

Making cheese

36
Q

Bioreactor

A

A vessel in which living things/ their enzymes are used to make a product

37
Q

How do you prevent enzymes freely dissolving

A

Immobilise them

38
Q

Immobilised enzymes

A

Attached to each other it in an inert substance and can be used repeatedly

39
Q

Eg of how they are immobilised

A

Enclosed within a gel (sodium alginate)

40
