enzymes Flashcards
what are enzymes defined as
proteins that help speed up metabolism, or the chemical reactions in our bodies.
what are the two types of enzyme reactions
anabolism and catabolism
what is metabolism defined as
chemical reactins which take place within gthe cell to change food into energy
which type releases energy
catabolic
which requires energy
anabolism
catabolism molecules are …
large into small
how are molecules most of the time
in their most basic form to make combinations
anabolism molecules are…
small repackaged to large
how do enzymes work ? 3 parts
- fits together perfectly
- the area for binding is active
- enzymes bind with substrates
what is the enzyme model known as
lock and key
what is it called when enzyme and subtrate are hugging
enzyme substrate COMPLEX
products of reactions must be continually removed, why?
- crowding enzymes
- harder for besties to bond
- rate of reaction will decrease, no alone time
enzymes are pansy’s explain
they are sensitive to temp and pH
whats it called when enzymes go outside of their optimum range
denatured, active site changes shape.
