Meniscus
water that curves down, you measure the bottom
anabolic
build, construct
Catabolic
breaks down
what are the various macromolecules made out of ?
Lips, nucleotides, proteins, carbs
what are enzymes?
proteins that increase the rate of chemical reactions converting substrate into product.
what is a catalyst?
substances that increase or decrease the rate of a chemical reaction but remain unchanged.
what is a catalase?
key enzyme which uses hydrogen peroxide as it’s substrate ( breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen)
what is a positive catalase reaction
will produce bubbles of oxygen
what is a negative catalase reaction
no bubbles form
does not produce catalase.
induced fit theory
binding of a substrate to enzyme causes enzyme shape to change to enhance or inhibit activity
the function of an enzyme
speed up chemical reaction
denatured
enzyme dont function
ase –ending
always enzyme
