Enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
Definition: Enzyme
A
An enzyme is a protein
2
Q
What determines Enzyme activity?
A
Ph
Temperature
Substrate concentration
3
Q
How does Enzyme activity relate to pH
A
Varies by enzyme
Changes surface
4
Q
Enzyme activity as temperature
A
Activity increases with temperature
High temp it denatures
5
Q
Substrate concentration
A
Activity increases until all active sites are filled
6
Q
Catalase reaction formula
A
2 H2 02 catalase 2 H20 plus 02
7
Q
Denature
A
High temperature or change from normal pH range change enzymes 3D structure. Damage is irreversible
