what are Enzyme? What do they do to the speed of reactions?

Answer 10

Enzyme—Cellular proteins that catalyze reactions.

They speed up reactions by Lower the energy of activation

Question 11

What are factors that regulate enzyme activity?

Answer 11

1) Temperature
—Because temp. increases enzyme activity. And if it is a large temp increase, it could denature (uwind) them.

2) pH
—Any change to pH can decrease Enzyme activity
—Creates acid
