Catalyst |
a substance that decreases the activation energy and speeds up the rate in which chemical reaction happens. |
it's an enzyme. |
|
|
Explain why catalysts are not considered to be either reactants or products even tho they take part in chemical reactions? |
because they're not changed or used up during a chemical reaction. |
|
|
|
Conditions for Enzymes to allow chemical reactions. |
1- proper temperature 2- proper pH 3- Structure of amino acids 4- specificity. |
|
|
|
Substrates |
the specific reactants than an enzyme acts on |
|
|
|
The enzyme found in our mouth and its substrate |
Amylase. it's substrate is starches. |
|
|
|
how do enzymes catalyze reactions |
bring substrates together and weaken their bonds |
|

|

|
|
|
active site |
the place in which substrates bind to enzymes |
|
|
|
functions of enzymes |
-bring substrates together which increases concentration. -catalyzes reactions when decreasing activation energy and increasing rate. |
|
|
|
how are bonds weakened by enzymes |
substrates bind to the enzymes the bonds are strained so they become weaker |
