Topic 3.2 - Enzyme Catalysis 𖦹⋆｡°✩ Flashcards
how many reactions can enzymes facilitate and why
enzymes can only facilitate one type of reaction because of their specific structure
what can enzymes facilitate
synthesis or digestion reactions
what do all biochemical reactions require
an initial starting energy (activation energy)
what do reactions result in
༻some reactions result in a net release of energy
༻ some reactions result in a net absorption of energy
what type of reaction requires less activation energy
reactions resulting in a net release of energy require less activation energy compared to reactions resulting in net absorption of energy
how do enzymes impact activation energy
enzymes lower the activation energy requirement of all enzyme-mediated reactions, resulting the rate of reactions
✩REVIEW LAST QUESTION FROM VIDEO LESSON✩
what should experimental procedures align with
with the testable question
what is a controlled experiment
a scientific investigation
what are the two types of tests set up in a controlled experiment
༻ control test (group)
༻ experimental test (group)
what is a control group
༻ generates data under conditions with no treatment/manipulation
༻ generates data under normal/unchanged conditions
what is a control group considered as
it is considered baseline data
what is an experimental group
༻ generates data under abnormal/unknown conditions
༻ generates data under treated/manipulated conditions
what are experimental test results compared with and why
they are compared with control test results to help determine possible impacts of a treatment/manipulation
is a control group the same as a controlled variable
no
