25
At high temperatures, the rate of enzyme action decreases because the increased heat
Alters/ changes the active site of the enzyme
26
Enzymes influence chemical reactions in living systems by
Affecting the rate at which reactions occur
27
Which group of organic compounds includes the enzymes
Proteins
28
The lock and key hypothesis attempts to explain the mechanism of
Enzyme specificity
29
Any substance that is acted upon by an enzyme
Substrate
30
Substrate
Any substance that is acted upon by an enzyme
31
At about 0°C most enzymes are
Inactive
32
Vitamins are essential to the survival of organisms because vitamins usually function as
Coenzymes
33
What can be a coenzyme?
Vitamins
34
What does an enzyme end with?
Ase
35
Which element is present in Maltase and not in maltose
Nitrogen
36
In enzyme controlled reactions, the role of certain vitamins such as niacin is to act as
A coenzyme
37
What’s another word for enzymes
Organic catalysts
38
Organic catalysts are ..
Enzymes
39
What is an inorganic molecule missing?
Carbon
40
What do all organic molecules have?
Carbon | Most Times hydrogen
41
What are more than one monomers called?
Polymers
42
Hydrolysis
Breaks polymers into monomers Water is added used to break the bond that monomers have
43
Breaks polymers into monomers How?
Hydrolysis Water is added - to break the bond that monomers have
44
Dehydration synthesis
Joins monomers into polymers Water is released - to combine and create bonds to form a polymer
45
Joins monomers into polymers Water is released - to combine and create bonds to form a polymer
Dehydration synthesis
46
Human body temperature
37°C
47
Does the size of the substrate molecule alter the rate of hydrolysis?
No
48
Why is high fever dangerous to humans
High fever is dangerous to humans because then most of your enzymes will begin to denature which leads to chemical reactions not happening fast enough to keep you alive
49
Lock and key theory of enzyme function
The enzyme and substrate have specific forms and allow them to fit into each other perfectly to begin a reaction
50
Three factors that influence the rate of enzyme activity
pH temperature concentration
51
How does pH affect enzyme activity?
Some enzymes work better in acidic pH levels while some work better in basic levels
52
How does temperature influence the rate of enzyme activity?
Some enzymes work better and colder temperatures while some work better and warmer temperatures. For most enzymes, when the temperature is really high the enzyme will begin to denature.
53
How does concentration affect the rate of enzyme activity
When there’s more enzymes and substrates present, more collision will occur between them causing more product to be formed. When the concentration increases, the rate of the reaction greatly increases
54
Enzymes are r________
Recycled/ reused
55
3 or more monosaccharides
Polysaccharides
56
2 monosaccharides
Disaccharide
57
