Lesson 1: Enzymes Structure and Function

Question 1

What are Enzymes?

Answer 1

Globular Protiens that catalyse complex metabolic pathways

Question 2

What is Hydrolysis?

Answer 2

Any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water ruptures one or more chemical bonds

Question 3

What are Enzymes Function?

Answer 3

Biological Catalysts that are specific to certain substrates

Question 4

What is the Stricture of Enzymes?

Answer 4

Polymers of Amino Acids

Question 5

What is it called when an enzyme binds with a substrate molecule?

Answer 5

Enzyme-Substrate Complex

Question 6

What is the Lock and Key Hypothesis?

Answer 6

States that part of a substrate fits exactly into the active site of an enzyme

Question 7

What is the Induced Fit Hypothesis?

Answer 7

The active site on an enzyme makes contact with the proper substrate in which the enzyme moulds itself into the shape of the molecule

Question 8

What is Activation Energy?

Answer 8

The energy in which a substrate must be provided with to complete a chemical reaction
