25
What is an enzyme?
A biological catalyst in a metabolic reaction
26
What happens if you heat an enzyme up too much?
It denatures - active site changes shape - substrate cannot bind
27
What happens if you cool down an enzyme too much?
There is not enough kinetic energy so the number of collisions between substrates and enzymes is too low
28

Bacteria, fungi, protoctist, virus
29
What is a pathogen?
An organism that causes disease
30
Which kingdoms are eukaryotic?
