Enzyme Action Flashcards
1
Q
What does enzyme specifity mean l
A
They will only catalysle only one particular reaction
2
Q
Why is an enzymes action due to its active sites
A
Because the substrate can fit in the active site so it is a complementary shape
3
Q
Describe the role of the active site in enzyme function
A
The active site is where they specific substrate can fit and a reaction can be performed
4
Q
Why do enzymes have a particular shape
A
So that there is only one thing that can break down another
5
Q
How do enzymes become dentureed ?
A
It happens when it is at a PH far way from the optimum which can be reversed or when the temperature goes above 37 degrees this is irreversible
