PROTEINS Flashcards
Name 4 types of Protein
Structural
enzymes
Hormones
Anti-bodies
State the functions of the 4 different types of protein
Structural-supporting framework inside the cell
enzymes-Catalyse biological reactions
hormones-communication between different pairs of body
Anti-bodies-immune system white blood cells that bind to specific bacteria and viruses.
state the chemical that enzymes react upon
The substrate
state the chemical produced by an enzyme controlled reactions
the product
state the part of the enzyme that one or more subsrates attach too
the active site
what is degredation
a breakdown reaction
what is a synthesis reaction
the build up of 2 or more substances that join together
what is special about enzymes
they are specific-the shape of the enzymes active site is complementary to the shape of its specific substrate
what is the structure of an enzyme
chains of amino acids
what is the optimumn
when an enzyme is most active
where are hormones released from and where do they travel
hormones travel through the blood and are produced in the endocrine glands
Can enzymes remain unchanged after a reaction?
yes they can returnn to there original shape and processes even after a reaction
