Enzyme Review Flashcards
pH of the acid in your stomach
2-3
Exothermic reactions releasze energy by what 2 things
heat
light
what is shown in the lock and key model
a substrate that fits perfectly into the enzymes active site
an ____ reaction, is when there is less energy @ the end of the reaction than @ the beginning.
an exothermic reaction, is when there is less energy @ the end of the reaction than @ the beginning.
Amylase
enzyme found in saliva & begins the proccess of breaking down starches
Thousands to millions of these building blocks make up protein, & therefore enzymes
amino acids
Why is salt on the road effective
its an exothermic reaction which releases heat & melts the snow/ice on the roads, making it safe for drivers
an ____ reaction, is when there is more energy @ the end of the reaction than @ the beginning.
an endothermic reaction, is when there is more energy @ the end of the reaction than @ the beginning.
Substrate Complex
Compound where an enzyme & substrate are bound
Cold temp. has this effect on enzymes
slows is down
The energy of an exothermic reaction are stored where
bonds of the products
suffix meaning (heat) energy
-thermic
Enzymes are a special class of this type of molecule
protein
if you slightly increase the tem. of an enzyme you’ll increase the rate of reaction this way
slight increase to the temp. of an enzyme will speed up the chem. reaction
what starts a chem. reaction & found on left side of a chemical reaction equation
Reactants
