Enzyme notes Flashcards
1
Q
Activation energy is the energy
A
needed to start a chemical reaction
2
Q
Enzymes are what
A
Proteins
3
Q
When the reactant(s) binds to the enzyme
A
the bonds inside the substrate molecule become strained and weakened
4
Q
The now weakened bonds
A
require less energy to be broken and for new substances to be formed
5
Q
Are enzymes reusable
A
Yes
6
Q
proteins can change shape(denature) when
A
temperatures are too high
7
Q
If the temperature is too low what will happen
A
molecule movement slows down ; enzymes and substrates will not interact
