Enzymes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| biological catalyst; a specialized proteins that speed up chemical reactions | enzyme |
| substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction | catalyst |
| a substance on which an enzyme acts during a chemical reaction | substrate |
| a chemical substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction | product |
| region in the enzyme where the substrate fits and a chemical reaction occurs | active site |
| energy needed to get a reaction started | activation energy |
| A change in the shape of a protein | denature |
| process that changes one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals | chemical reaction |
| means enzyme | suffix -ase |
| process that changes or transforms 1 set of chemicals into another; involves changes in chemical bonds that join atoms in compounds | chemical reaction |
| the elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction | reactants |
| the elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction | products |
| energy that is need to get a reaction started | activation energy |
| substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering activation energy needed | catalyst |
| pH, temperature, surface area/concentration, regulatory molecules | factors that influence enzyme activity |
| if temperature is above or below optimal range, enzyme rate | decreases |
| if substrate concentration is increased and enzyme concentration is kept constant, the rate of the reaction reaches a | maximum |
| doubling the enzyme concentration rate _____ the reaction rate | doubles |
| these stigmas produce an aqueous or lipid secretion that covers the stigma surface | wet |
| these stigmas do not produce and aqueous or lipid secretion that covers the stigma surface | dry |
| peroxidase activity is higher in wet or dry stigmas | wet |
| one ocular meter equals how many µg | 10 |
| The difference in energy between the reactants and products of a chemical reaction | heat of Reaction |
| a reaction that has a "+" heat of reaction and stores more energy than it releases. | Endothermic |
