Q

Explain how a substrate/reactant enters the active site of an enzyme and exits as the product.

product will be made

17
Q

catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen

A

catalase

18
Q

digests starch via hydrolysis into glucose and maltose (a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules)

A

amylase

19
Q

2h202->2h20+02 What is the substrate (reactant), enzyme, and product for each of the chemical reactions?

A

substrate: 2h202
enzyme: catalase
product: 2h20+02

20
Q

What is catalase’s substrate? How could you tell? What did you measure to determine activity?

A

hydrogen peroxide. only content that produced bubbles. tested by bubble height

21
Q

Explain how increasing or decreasing the amount of enzyme affects reaction speed.

A

more enzyme = faster reaction

22
Q

Explain how increasing or decreasing the amount of substrate affects product production.

A

more substrate = more product

23
Q

reaction amylase catalyzes

A

starch -> reducing sugars

24
Q

Describe what will happen if when salivary amylase mixes with starch.

A

iodine: turns purple, starch is present
benedicts: turns orange reducing sugar is present
A POSITIVE REACTION WILL OCCUR
