1 Chemical Reactions/Enzymes Chapters 2.4, .5

2 Chemical Reactions 6O2 + C6H12O6  6CO2 + 6H2O
A chemical reaction is a change of a substance into a different substance by breaking and forming chemical bonds. This chemical process changes a reactant into a product through this chemical reaction. 6O C6H12O6  6CO2 + 6H2O Reactant + Reactant  Product

3 Catalysts or Enzymes All chemical reactions need energy.
Energy needs to be absorbed by the reactants for a chemical process to occur. This energy is called the activation energy for that chemical reaction.

4 Enzymes A catalysts is a substance or individual that causes a process to move faster. An enzyme is a catalysts in a living organism that causes a biological, chemical reaction to go at a faster rate.

5 Enzymes Enzymes lower the activation energy needed to cause a chemical reaction to use less energy. Enzymes lower the activation energy.

6 Activation Energy

7 Enzymatic Reactions Enzymatic reactions may be endothermic, meaning they need energy or heat to proceed or they may be exothermic, meaning they give off heat when the reaction occurs.

8 Chemical Reactions A chemical reaction, driven by an enzyme results in the production of products from reactants or substrates.

9 Chemical Reactions

10 Lock-and-Key model Enzymes bind to specific sites called activation sites. This is a specific site specially for a specific enzyme and substrate. This model is called the lock-and-key model as to how enzymes work.

11 Substrates (reactants)  Product
Activation Site Substrates (reactants)  Product

12 Substrates/Reactants and Products

13 The End
