Enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
Carbohydrase (amylase)
A
Carbohydrates into sugars
2
Q
Protease
A
Proteins into amino acids
3
Q
Lipase
A
Lipids/fat into glycerol
4
Q
Enzyme and substrate
A
Has to be complimentary to each other
5
Q
Temperature affecting enzyme activity
A
Rate of reaction increases = high temp
Too high temp = denatured enzyme
6
Q
Ph affecting enzyme activity
A
Changes the shape of the active site
Too high/too low = denatured
7
Q
What is an enzyme?
A
Biological catalyst
8
Q
Why does the rate of reaction speed up when higher temps?
A
High temp = more kinetic energy
Enzyme + substrate more likely to bind together
