(5 cards)
1
Q
where do the substrate and enzyme bind
A
at the active site
2
Q
what is produced at the active site
A
the product
3
Q
what types of reactions can enzymes be used for
A
synthesis reactions and degradation reactions
4
Q
how does temperature affect enzyme function
A
the enzyme is most active at OPTIMUM temperature. if the temp is to low the reaction will be slow, if the temp is too high the enzyme will denature and stop working
5
Q
how does pH affect enzyme function
A
enzymes are most active at optimum pH. at extreme pH the enzyme will denature and stop working
