Unit test Flashcards
what is an enzyme?
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in a biological system.
What is a substrate?
a molecule that is acted upon by an enzyme
what is an inhibitor?
a molecule which interacts with enzyme to prevent it for working normally
How are enzymes at 0 degrees?
enzyme action is low because the movement of the molecule is low
How will enzyme react at high temperature?
they will denature eventually due to high temp
What temp do human bio enzymes work best at?
37
which temp will most enzyme denature?
50
At what PH do most enzymes work best at?
6-8
what is the ideal optimum PH for enzymes?
PH
What does optimum mean?
the optimum range is the pH and temperature at which the enzyme is most efficient
Whats Osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of a solvent to a low concentration to a high area of concertration through a semipermiable membrane
