Q

What is: the substance made during the reaction?

17
Q

Explain how an enzyme works.

A

An enzyme has a groove on it called an active site. This is when the substrate joins on. Only the enzymes own substrate(s) has the right shape to fit the active site.

18
Q

Enzymes are…?

19
Q

What substrate can AMYLASE break down? (only)

20
Q

What substrate can PEPSIN break down? (only)

21
Q

What substrate can LIPASE break down? (only)

22
Q

How can an emzyme become denatured?

A

By high temperature and some chemicals.

23
Q

What does denatured do to the enzyme?

A

It changes shape and is no longer specific.

24
Q

What is a: SUBSTRATE?

A

The substance an emzyme works on

25
What is a: PRODUCT
The substance made during the reaction.
26
If the temperature of an emzyme further increased after being at the optimum temperature what will happen to activity?
Activity will start to decrease.
27
What happens to enzymes at low temperatures.
It is inactive.
28
Biological detergents (bio) contain enzymes made by...?
Bacteria
29
In bio detergents what do the enzymes do?
They digest the food stains at a low temperature.
30
What is a disadvantage of 'bio' detergents?
Some people can have allergic reactions to them and get rashed or ezcema. (these people use 'non-bio')
