Q

If an enzyme is exactly 7 ph

A

Neutral

17
Q

Why do our bellies make noise

A

Because it is acidic

18
Q

What does competitive inhibitor do

A

Goes to enzymes active site, causing the substrate to no longer bind

19
Q

What are the 2 internal body condition factors

A

Temperature and Ph

20
Q

What are the environmental conditions

A

Enzyme/substrate concentration and competitive inhibitor

21
Q

What organic molecule are enzymes made of

A

Proteins

22
Q

What happens to water when exposed to 100 degrees Celsius

A

Begins go boil and molecules evaporate

23
Q

What happens when proteins go through 100 degrees Celsius

A

They change shape and denaturation

24
Q

What specific changes happens to enzymes to make them stop working

A

Denaturation

25
Q

What happens when an active site gets deformed and loses shape

A

Loss of biological activity
