1
What do all living things have in common?
Agenda for Wednesday Feb 17th Enzyme Notes
2
All living things have carbon
Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, Sulfur (CHNOPS) make up 96% of the body weight of organisms
3
Energy of Reactions Minimum amount of energy needed for chemical reaction = activation energy
4
Types of Reactions Anabolic reactions
Energy is required (Uses heat/energy) endothermic Creates larger molecules
5
Catabolic reactions break down molecules Energy/heat is released exothermic
6
What are these reactions?
1 2
7
Catalysts lowers the activation energy and speeds up a reaction
Enzymes are biological catalysts
8
Enzymes as catalysts Speed up reactions/Lower activation energy
Made up of PROTEINS Named for what they do lactase - breaks down lactose (milk sugars) Amylase - breaks down starch in food in mouth Protease - breaks down protein
9
Reaction before and after enzyme
11
Enzymes Reactants that bind to the enzyme are called substrates
Specific location where a substrate binds on an enzyme is called active site
12
Induced Fit Theory/Key and Lock Model
Enzymes are SPECIFIC Will only function correctly if the shape of the substrate matches the active site
14
What do enzymes do? Agenda for Friday Feb 19th Catalase Lab
15
4 Conditions that affect enzymes
Substrate Concentration Enzyme Concentration pH Temp
16
Catalase Lab Catalase – enzyme found in almost all living things
Breaks down hydrogen peroxide (dangerous by product) 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 High concentration in liver in humans Stored in cell organelles called Peroxisomes
