Q

What is the substance the enzyme acts on

24
Q

Active sight

A

Part of the enzyme that combines with the substrate

25
The active sight is fixed to
Fit the substrate
26
What happens when the substrate enters the active sight
It changes shape slightly
27
What is it called when the enzyme fits precisely around the substrate
Induced fit model
28
Inhibitors
Can prevent enzymes from working
29
What type of enzymes do inhibitors attach to
Nerve transmissions
30
What dénaturés an enzyme involved in respiration
Cyanide
31
Eg of an inhibitor
Cyanide
32
Beneficial inhibitors
Pain killers | Antibiotics
33
Dentatured enzymes
Lots it’s active shape and can no longer carry out its function
34
Bioprocessing
Use of enzyme controlled reactions to produce a product
35
Eg of bioprocessing
Making cheese
36
Bioreactor
A vessel in which living things/ their enzymes are used to make a product
37
How do you prevent enzymes freely dissolving
Immobilise them
38
Immobilised enzymes
Attached to each other it in an inert substance and can be used repeatedly
39
Eg of how they are immobilised
Enclosed within a gel (sodium alginate)
40
Advantage of immobilised enzymes
Can be reused | Cheaper
41
What converts lactose to glucose
Lactase
42
What converts glucose to fructose
Glucose isomerase
43
What makes chemical reactions faster
Higher temperatures
44
What temperature do enzymes denature
40 dégrées
45
What is the optimum pH for an enzyme
7
46
Pepsin pH
1 or 2
47
An enzyme cannot act on
Only one substrate
48
Phosphorylation
Thé addition of phosphate to a molecule
49
NADP
Nicotinamide adénine dinucleotide phosphate
50
Where is catalase found
Celery
51
What does catalase do
Converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen
52
What does washing up liquid do in an experiment
Breaks down cell membranes
53
What does the volume of foam indicate
Activity of an enzyme
54
How do you vary temperature
water bathS
55
How do u keep the temperature steady
Use one water bath
