A
Enzymes catalyse chemical reactions and have large protein molecules and a active sight which is where substrates attach to.
2
Q
Which 3 factors effect how an enzyme works?
A
Temperature, substrate concentration and PH all effect the way enzymes work.

Q
What is it called when a shape of an active sight changes as a result of bond within the enzyme breaking(can be cause by extreme temperatures or PH)
A
Denaturing
