Key Concepts Of Biology-Enzyme Action Flashcards
1
Q
Why are the 3D shapes of enzymes important?
A
The pocket created is the active site where the substrate fits
2
Q
What is a substrate?
A
The surface material on what a organism lives on/obtains nourishment
3
Q
What is a active side?
A
A region on a enzyme that kinds to a protein molecule (goes into the right shape) during a reaction
4
Q
How do conditions change a enzyme? (temperature and PH)
A
It will affect how the protein fits into the enzymes by affecting the shape of the active sits compared to the shape of the substrate
