ENZYMES
2
ENZYMES Made of proteins Enzymes are organic catalysts
Contain: ____ _____ _____ _____ Enzymes are organic catalysts Catalysts are chemicals that help chemical reactions occur Enzymes remain the same during a chemical reaction Always end in –ase Ex. Lipase, Protease, Glucase, Lactase
3
ENZYMES Lock-and-Key Model
4
ENZYMES In the Lock and Key Model, enzymes must fit their substrate
Enzymes are “specific”
5
ENZYMES Each enzyme can work on only one specific substrate Ex.
Lipase works only on __________ Sucrase works only on ____________ Protease works only on ____________ __________ works only on fructose
6
ENZYMES Enzymes help perform dehydration synthesis
7
ENZYMES Enzymes help perform hydrolysis
8
ENZYMES Re-draw and label each part of the picture
9
ENZYMES Enzymes are effected by the following factors: Temperature pH
Concentration of enzyme Concentration of substrate
10
ENZYMES Temperature Enzymes work best at an optimum temperature
Optimum temperature for human enzymes is ______, C or _________, F Enzyme activity is slower as temperature gets too cold or too hot
11
ENZYMES Temperature
12
ENZYMES Temperature At high temperatures, enzymes will lose their shape They denature Misshapen enzymes no longer fit in the Lock and Key Model, so chemical reactions do not take place
13
ENZYMES pH Enzymes rate of reaction is effected by the amount of acid or base in an environment
14
ENZYMES pH
15
ENZYMES Optimum pH for two different enzymes
16
ENZYMES Concentration
Increasing the concentration (amount) of an enzyme or substrate, will only increase the rate of reaction, to a point
17
ENZYMES Co-enzymes Enzymes work with co-enzymes to speed up the rate of reactions. Ex. vitamins
