Factors that affect enzymes

Question 1

What is optimal TempreaturE?

Tallk about reaction rate

Answer 1

The tempreature which an enzyme works the fastest in, which increases reaction rate.

Question 2

What happens past optimal tempreture? or pH optimal

Answer 2

Denatures, where Hydrogen bonds break down to change the active site of the enzyme, which means the substrate cant bind.

Question 3

What will happen if substrates increases

Answer 3

The rate of reaction increases because there will be more chances of binding

Question 4

What will happen if you increase enzyme concentation

Answer 4

The rate of reaction will increase

Question 5

What is Saturation point

Answer 5

It is when all active sites are used up or all the substrates are have been used up.

Question 6

NOT RN

What is an competitive Inhibitor

Answer 6

They are an molecule that binds to the active site and prevents the substrates from binding.

Question 7

not now

What is an non-competitive inhibitor

And where does it bind and the effect

Answer 7

They dont bind to the active site, instead bind to allohesteric site and changes the enzymes active sites shape

Question 8

not now

What are reversible inhibitors?

Answer 8

They form a weak bond wit the active sites, it can be broken off

Question 9

not now

What are irreverisble inhibitors

Answer 9

They form strong covalent bonds that cant break off.

Question 10

not now

What are cofactors

Answer 10

They help assist the enzymes function by sitting on the active site of the substrate.

Question 11

nlt now

Is Coenzyme an organic or inorganic cofactor?

Answer 11

Organic

Question 12

not now

What is an coenzyme’s function

AND bro wjat happens after the substrate has been catalysed?

Answer 12

It binds and donates energy or molecules

Question 13

What are enzymes?

Answer 13

Enzyme are bilological catalists that speed up chemical reactions with a substrate by lowering the activation energy needed.

Question 14

What are substrates?

Answer 14

The moleucle being acted upon by an enzyme

Question 15

How do chemical reactions occur?

Answer 15

They require input energy called ACTIVATION ENERGY

Question 16

What are anabolic reactions

Answer 16

When two or more smaller moleucles are combined to form a larger moleucle using energy

Question 17

What are catabolic reactions

Answer 17

When a large molecule is brken down to two or more smaller molecules

Question 18

What is endergonic and what kind of reaction is it from

Answer 18

It means it stores energy, which happens in anabolic reactions

Question 19

What is exergonic and what kind of reaction is it from

Answer 19

It means it releases energy from a catabolic reaction

Question 20

What happens to an enzyme after catalysing a reaction?

Answer 20

It is reused/recycled

Question 21

What is unique to each enzyme

Answer 21

Active site

Question 22

Can enzymes have more than one active site?

Answer 22

YES

Question 23

What do you call it when the substrate and the enzyme has binded

Answer 23

Enzyme-substrate complex

Question 24

E

What do you call the end product after the enzyme has sucessfuly catalysed something?

Answer 24

Products

Question 25

Why does the substrate even bind to the active site?

Answer 25

Bercause the substrate is complementary in shape to the active site which is specific.

Question 26

Are enzymes used up or not?

Answer 26

NO

Question 27

What will happen if the pH level of an enzyme gets more basic

and why is it bad

Answer 27

Amino acids will lose their hydrogen ions, which might change their attraction to each other and unfold causing them to denature

Question 28

What will happen if the pH level of an enzyme gets more acidic

and why is it bad

Answer 28

Amino acids will gain hydrogen ions,which might change their attraction to each other and unfold causing them to denature

Question 29

What happens if all the active sites of enzymes have been used up, should you even increase substrate concentration?

Answer 29

No , the substrate concentration has reached a saturation point

Question 30

what is a limiting factor when a substrate reaches its saturation point

Answer 30

The lack of Enzyme active sites

Question 31

What ahppens if the tempreture is lowered to an enzyme

Answer 31

There will very low kinetic energy making the enyme work at a very slow rate. This causes less products to be formed due to a lower reaction rate.

Question 32

What type of protiens are enzymes?

Answer 32

Globular protiens
