2.5 Enzymes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Enzymes | Catalysts for chemical reactions in living things |
| This Lowers activation energy | Catalysts |
| Catalyst | Substances that speed up chemical reactions, decrease activation energy, and increase reaction rate |
| These allow chemical reactions to occur under tightly controlled conditions | Enzymes |
| Most Enzymes are these | Proteins |
| This can prevent enzymes from functioning by breaking them | Disruptions in homeostasis |
| This is where Enzymes fuction best | In a small range of conditions |
| This can break enzymes | Changes in temperature and pH |
| This allows only certain reactants to bend to the enzyme | An Enzyme’s Structure |
