Enzyme

Question 1

What are enzyme

Answer 1

Are proteins that contain an area with an active site which the chemical reaction take place

Question 2

Enzyme are specific

Answer 2

Enzyme are specific to the substrate

The specific substrate Fits into the specific active site which is complementary

Forming a enzyme-substrate complex

Question 3

Induced fit theory

Answer 3

The active site of an enzyme is a specific shape and only catalyze one reaction
The substrate with the correct shape enters
The active site

The active site changes slightly
Once the substrate has entered it

Question 4

Temperature

Answer 4

Increasing the temperature speeds up the reaction. And lowering the temperature slows down a reaction. However extreme high temperature can cause an enzyme to lose it shape and stop working

Question 5

pH

Answer 5

Each enzyme has an optimum pH range. Changing the pH outside of this range will slow enzyme activity. Extreme pH values can cause enzyme to denature

Question 6

Amylase

Answer 6

Break down starches & carbohydrates into sugar

Produced in the mouth and pancreas

Secreted in the mouth and duodenum (small intestine)

Question 7

Protease

Answer 7

Break down proteins into amino acid in the stomach and small intestine

Produced by the pancreas

Question 8

Lipase

Answer 8

Break down lipids into glycerol and fatty acids
