6. Enzymes Special PROTEINS Act as biological catalysts
Substance whose job is to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction
The specific location where a substrate binds on an enzyme is called the active site.

7. HOW ENZYMES WORK

8. Enzymes Act by lowering the activation energy of the reaction
Are very specific with respect to the reactions that they will catalyze…
They will only catalyze one specific substance because they actually bind with that substance in a unique way

10. Energy & Reactions
The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for reactants to form products in a chemical reaction.
This reaction is EXOTHERMIC and heat energy is released.
The energy of the product is lower than the energy of the reactants.
This reaction is ENDOTHERMIC and heat energy is absorbed.
The energy of the products is higher than the energy of the reactants.
