|
|
What are enzymes?
|
are known as biological catalysts; that increase the biochemical reactions in the tissue cells by reducing the activation energy

Enzymes are very specific in the activity; and the substrate binds to a site known as the "_____ _____" thru their side chain interactions and them metabolizes
|
Enzymes are very specific in the activity; and the substrate binds to a site known as the "active site" thru their side chain interactions and them metabolizes
|
|
|
The shape of the active site of an enzyme is the _____ the substrate so they can bind effectively.
|
The shape of the active site of an enzyme is the same as the substrate so they can bind effectively.
|
|
|
The shapes of the active site of an enzyme and the substrate is like a "____ ____ ____" model
|
The shapes of the active site of an enzyme and the substrate is like a "lock and key" model
|
|
|
The lock and key model is known as a ______
|
fixed model
|
|
|
In certain cases: Induced fit model enzymes adjust their shape to accommodate the substrate and the substrate in turn adjusts its shape to fit into the active site, and when the biochemical reactions are complete both enzymes and substrates regain the original shape.
