1 Enzymes A special class of proteins that are vital to an organism’s survival. They work by lowering the energy it takes to start a chemical reaction. Biological catalysts that speed up the rates of reaction.

2 Effect of Enzymes Reaction pathway without enzyme Activation energy
Section 2-4 Reaction pathway without enzyme Activation energy without enzyme Reactants Activation energy with enzyme Reaction pathway with enzyme Products

5 Enzyme Theories Lock and Key Model Induced Fit Model
The substrate fits into the active site SPECIFICALLY. Induced Fit Model The active site changes shape to make the substrate react faster.

10 Chemical Reactions Chemical reactions occur when bonds between molecules are broken or formed. Example: Mg+2HCL MgCL2+H2 Note the same # of atoms on each side of the reaction equation. This is referred to as a balanced equation.
