What is an Enzyme? An enzyme is a biological catalyst What is a catalyst? Something that makes a chemical reaction happen faster at a lower temperature A trigger What sets you off?

What is an Enzyme? Enzymes break down substances in the body Enzymes make other substances

How do Enzymes Work? Enzymes have a “keyhole” spot where they join with a substrate Substrate – molecule being broken down Enzyme + Substrate =Reaction

How Do Enzymes Work? A substrate will find the “active site” of an enzyme They fit together like a lock and key Reaction occurs Enzyme is released and ready to use again

What do Enzymes Need in Order to Work? Enzymes Substrate Enzyme and substrate MUST fit together Right temperature Right pH

What Happens After the Reaction Occurs? A product is formed and released A molecule is broken down Enzyme may be reused An enzyme that no longer works is called “denatured”

Check for Understanding What is an enzyme? A biological catalyst What is a substrate? What do enzymes need in order to work? Correct temperature, pH enzymes and substrate What happens when the process is finished? Enzymes may be reused
