Enzyme Structer And Function

Question 1

What are catalyst

Answer 1

Are chemicals that control the speed of a reaction but don’t take part in them

Question 2

What are catalyst in organism

Answer 2

Proteins called enzymes work as a catalyst

Question 3

What are substate

Answer 3

Molecules that enzymes work with

Question 4

How does an enzyme work

Answer 4

Enzymes have an active site that only fits with certain substate
The enzyme will sightly fit around substate and combine them or break them apart.

If the active site shape is warped, it won’t work

Question 5

Effect of temp on enzymes

Answer 5

Increase temp = increased speed
Decrease temp= decrease speed
In high heat, the proteins will denatured. Causing the active site to no longer fit

Question 6

Change in enzyme activity because of PH

Answer 6

Changing the pH outside of this range will slow enzyme activity. Extreme pH values can cause enzymes to denature.

Question 7

Change in enzyme activity because of concentration

Answer 7

Will speed up reaction

Question 8

Effect of inhibitors on enzymes

Answer 8

Slow done or block reaction
