Question 1

What is the name pf the point where the reaction is fastest?

Answer 1

Optimum

Question 2

When does an enzyme controlled reaction become impossible

Answer 2

When it becomes denatured

Question 3

What effects do temperature have on enzyme breakdown have

Answer 3

Increased kinetic energy
More frequent collision and more frequent
Rate of reaction increases up till optimum point

Question 4

What are the effects of pH?

Answer 4

The acidity of the area that the the enzyme is reacting in has an optimum point. Different enzymes have different ideal acidity levels. For example some enzymes have more range for the pH they can work in but some have a very limited range.

Question 5

What is the pH scale and what colour range does it have?

Answer 5

1 to 14 red to purple

Question 6

What are the enzymes responsible for carbohdrates

Answer 6

Carbohydrase enzymes

Example of one is amylase.

Question 7

What is responsible for the breakdown of protein.

Answer 7

Protease enzymes

For example pepsin

Question 8

What is responsible for fat breakdown

Answer 8

Lipase enzymes
