4. Objectives:
SWBAT identify the major components of a chemical reaction.
SWBAT identify and analyze the effects of enzymes on biological reactions.

5. Unit 3: Guiding Questions
What molecules are found in all living organisms?
Why do we need to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods?
What is responsible for making sure that the reactions occurring in living organisms occur quickly enough?

6. Chemical Reactions
Many processes occurring in living organisms involve chemical reactions
Digestion, cell division, muscle contractions, etc.

7. Chemical Reactions: Key Point 1
A chemical reaction is the process by which one or more substances are reorganized into different substances
Reactants  Products
Reactants are the starting substances
Products are the substances formed
Examples?

8. Catalysts: Key Point 2
Catalysts are substances that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being used up in the reaction.
To increase the rate of a chemical reaction means to speed up a reaction

9. CFU 1 Which of the following is the best definition of a catalyst?
A substance that decreases the rate of a reaction but is not used up during the reaction
A substance that decreases the rate of a reaction and is used up during the reaction?
A substance that increases the rate of a reaction but is not used up during the reaction
A substance that increases the rate of a reaction and is used up during the reaction

10. Elephant Toothpaste Demo
Reactants: Potassium iodide
Catalyst: Hydrogen peroxide
Products: Water and oxygen
Exothermic reaction = creates a lot of heat
Real world:
Hydrogen peroxide to treat cuts  the catalyst catalase in blood cells causes the bubbling

11. Have you ever….? Gotten sick? Had a sugar rush? Gotten a muscle cramp?
Had a scar form from an injury?
Felt too hot or too cold?
*Additional notes

12. Enzymes: Key Point 3
Enzymes are proteins that are catalysts for many biological processes
Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reactions
They speed up the reactions, but they are not used up during the reaction

13. Why is it important?
WITHOUT ENZYMES, OUR INTESTINES WOULD TAKE WEEKS TO DIGEST OUR FOOD, OUR MUSCLES, NERVES AND BONES WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY, AND SOON DEATH WOULD RESULT!

14. CFU 2
Which of the four macromolecules are enzymes?
Answer: Proteins

15. CFU 3 What effect do enzymes have on the rate of a chemical reaction?
Answer: Increase the rate

16. Enzyme Characteristics: Key Point 4
Enzymes are specific: Only one type of substrate works!
Lock and key
Enzymes are reuseable: Can be used over and over again and is not changed by a reaction
Enzymes can denature: Change shape because of changes in temperature or pH (Remember, proteins are 3D!)
Additional notes: Many end in the suffix –ASE
-Sucrase
-Lipase
-Catalase

17. Energy of Reactions: Key Point 5
All chemical reactions require energy

18. Activation Energy: Key Point 5 cont.
The minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur is known as the activation energy

19. Activation Energy: Athletes
Say Ms. M is tired of feeling old and decides to race a student from one side of the room to the other. To prove that she’s faster, Ms. M even allows the student to start behind the starting line while Ms. M starts right on the line. Who will win? Why?

20. Enzymes & Activation Energy: Key Point 5 continued
Enzymes increase the rate of reactions by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction

21. CFU 4
Which curve (upper or lower) shows the energy change for a reaction with an enzyme present?
Answer: Lower (black)

22. CFU 5 What is the definition of activation energy?
Answer: The minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur

23. Other Uses of Enzymes Other uses of enzymes include: Bread production
Wine production

24. CFU 6
The enzyme lactase is involved in the reaction that breaks down the sugar lactose. What effect does the enzyme lactase have on this reaction?
Answer: Lactase speeds up the reaction

25. Summary
Catalysts are substances that increase the rate of (speed up) chemical reactions without being used up
All chemical reactions require energy
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to begin
Enzymes are proteins and catalysts for reactions
Every enzyme can only bind one specific substrate
Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy
On a graph, reactions with enzymes have lower activation energies and shorter reaction times

26. Enzyme Think Tac Toe T H I N K
Provide three examples of chemical reactions that occur in the human body.
What macromolecule are enzymes?
How do enzymes affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
What curve (top or bottom) represents a reaction without enzyme activity?
Hypothesize what would have occurred in the Elephant Toothpaste demo if hydrogen peroxide had not been added.
Identify the reactants and products in the chemical equation
6 O2 + C6H12O6  6 CO2 + 6 H2O
Define activation energy.
Why is an enzyme considered a catalyst?
The enzyme amylase is involved in digesting carbohydrates in the stomach. What effect does amylase have on the speed at which your body digests carbohydrates?
Your friend was absent today. When he or she comes back, they are really confused about activation energy. How would you explain activation energy in your own words? Use an analogy (comparison) like Ms. Mitchell did with the sprints.

41. Review
Catalysts are substances that increase the rate of (speed up) chemical reactions without being used up
Enzymes are proteins that increase the rate of chemical reactions (catalysts)
Every enzyme can only bind one specific substrate
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to begin
Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy
On a graph, reactions with enzymes have lower activation energies and shorter reaction times

42. Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity
Enzymes work best under certain conditions
Different factors can affect the activity of enzymes (how well they work)
Temperature, pH, substrate concentration

43. Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity
Most enzymes work best at an organism’s natural temperature (98.6°F for humans) and pH (7)

44. Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity
When the temperature or pH is higher or lower than normal, enzymes do not function as well
Higher or lower temperature than normal= slower reaction
Higher or lower pH than normal= slower reaction

45. Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity
Recall, substrates are the molecules that bind to enzymes during a chemical reaction
The concentration (relative amount) of substrate affects the activity of enzymes
Higher substrate concentration= faster reaction
Lower substrate concentration= slower reaction

46. Enzyme Trashketball Enzyme worksheet: TURNING IN FOR A GRADE
Everyone will answer the next question.
A RANDOM person from your team will be called on to answer.
Anyone can take a shot!
