16
Q

What is: the substance made during the reaction?

A

A product.

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…?

A

Specific.

19
Q

What substrate can AMYLASE break down? (only)

A

Starch

20
Q

What substrate can PEPSIN break down? (only)

A

Protein

21
Q

What substrate can LIPASE break down? (only)

A

Fat

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
Q

What is a: PRODUCT

A

The substance made during the reaction.

26
Q

If the temperature of an emzyme further increased after being at the optimum temperature what will happen to activity?

A

Activity will start to decrease.

27
Q

What happens to enzymes at low temperatures.

A

It is inactive.

28
Q

Biological detergents (bio) contain enzymes made by…?

A

Bacteria

29
Q

In bio detergents what do the enzymes do?

A

They digest the food stains at a low temperature.

30
Q

What is a disadvantage of ‘bio’ detergents?

A

Some people can have allergic reactions to them and get rashed or ezcema. (these people use ‘non-bio’)
