1
Do Now 1.Get out HW, Turn in lab from yesterday into the bin 2.Which macromolecule(s) functions in short term energy and structure? 1.Explain the difference between Benedict’s and Biuret’s. (More than color change)
2
Chemical Reaction Occurs when bonds are broken or formed to create a new substance Reactants Products
3
Enzymes Review Enzymes are proteins; made up of amino acids held together by peptide bonds
4
Enzymes Review Regulates the chemical reactions of the cell
5
Enzyme Characteristics 1. Biological Catalysts
6
What is a Catalyst? Catalysts speed up chemical reactions Ex: What do you do to help sugar dissolve faster in tea?
7
Enzymes and Reactions
8
Activation Energy – Amount of energy that reactants must absorb before a chemical reaction will start Enzymes lower the activation energy.
9
Enzymes and Reactions Endergonic Reaction: Free energy is absorbed from the surroundings
10
Enzymes and Reactions Exergonic Reaction: Chemical reaction where there is a net release of free energy.
11
Example of Enzymes as Catalysts Amylase: Enzyme in mouth that breaks down carbohydrates If you put a saltine cracker in your mouth and let it “sit”, it will eventually taste sweet
12
Enzymes Characteristics 2. Have an active site; binding site for substrates
13
Enzyme Characteristics 3. Enzymes are site specific; One enzyme = One job Determined by active site
14
How Enzymes Work Enzyme; Catalyst Substrate; Reactant Active Site Product Enzyme-Substrate Complex 1. Substrate matched the active site of the enzyme 2. Enzyme-substrate complex forms; Enzyme molds around the substrate for a reaction 3. Enzyme releases the product; Enzyme remains unchanged.
15
Types of Chemical Reactions Synthesis (Anabolic in living organisms) – 2 or more chemicals combine to form a more complex product.
16
Types of Chemical Reactions Decomposition (catabolic in living organisms) – A compound is broken into smaller chemicals
17
What does this have to do with ME????? Who cares about enzymes?
18
Lactose is a Disaccharide (2 sugars) found in milk
19
Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose
20
What does lactose get broken down into by lactase?
21
Fill in the following terms into the enzyme diagram below: Lactase Glucose Lactose Galactose
22
What’s happening in us?
23
What is Lactose Intolerance? Lactase is not present to break down the lactose. The sugar just builds up inside.
24
What’s happening in us?
25
Effects of Lactose Intolerance* Bloating, Pain/Cramps in Belly, Noise in Belly, Gas, Diarrhea
26
Lactose Intolerance Worldwide
27
Lactose Intolerance in Ethnic Groups
28
What to do if you are Lactose Intolerant?
29
Do Now 1.What is the purpose of the active site? 2.What would happen if the active site lost its shape?
30
Environmental Effects on Enzymes 1.Temperature* High Temperatures can denature enzymes Denature means lose shape (active site).
33
Environmental Effects on Enzymes 1.Temperature Low Temperatures cause enzymes to move slowly Decreasing enzyme activity
35
Environmental Effects on Enzymes 2. pH Dramatic changes in the pH of a solution can denature an enzyme Decreasing enzyme activity
36
