Enzyme Extended Study

Question 1

What is the active site?

Answer 1

Part of the enzyme that combines with the substrate

Question 2

What is the induced fit model?

Answer 2

Forces the active site to change for the enzyme

Question 3

Steps of enzyme action

Answer 3

1. Substrate enters the active site of enzyme
2. Enzyme changes shape slightly as substrate binds
3. Enzyme/Products complex. Substrate splits
4. Products (split substrate) leave the active site

Question 4

Enzyme specificity theory?

Answer 4

Most enzymes are specific to one substrate. This means that it’ll only react to one particular substrate.
E.g amylase only acts on starch

Question 5

ATP Becoming ADP

Answer 5

ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) Has three phosphates
ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) Loses a phosphate and energy is released

Question 6

What does NADP+ stand for

Answer 6

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate

Question 7

Energy carrier table

Answer 7

Process: (Photosynthesis)(Respiration)
↓ ↓
Low energy: (ADP,NADP+)(ATP,NADPH)
↓ ↓
High energy: (ADP,NAD+)(ATP, NADH)
