Where are enzymes found?
|
All enzymes are found in living things and proteins.
|
|
|
How does an enzyme work?
|
An enzyme works by the substrates binding together which starts the chemical reaction. The enzyme then brings the substrates together weakens the bind which then allows the reaction to take place faster and with less activation energy.
|
|
|
How does a catalyst affect the activation energy of a chemical reaction?
|
A catalyst affects the activation energy of a chemical reaction be reproducing activation energy that is required to start the reaction.
|
|
|
Describe how the interaction between an enzyme and its substrates change a chemical reaction.
|
The interaction between and enzyme and its substrate change a chemical reaction by bringing substrates close together so that they can react, and slightly weaken the bonds with substrates by changing the shapes of a molecule.
|
|
|
Suppose that the amino acids that make up an enzymes active site are changed. How might this change affect the enzyme?
|
if the amino acids that make up an enzymes active sites are changed the substrates would likely not bind to the enzyme because the shape of the active site would change.
|
|
|
How do enzymes weaken the bonds in substrates?
|
The enzymes shape will change and sightly strain the bond inside the the substrates.
