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 |
