Enzymes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1.Enzymes | are substances that cause chemical reactions to occur faster. |
| 2.catalyst | enzymes are a type of catalyst |
| 3.substrates. | Ribosomes produce specific enzymes to act on specific substances, |
| 4.active sites. | Most enzymes have a surface with one or more deep folds. The folds make pockets |
| 5.enzyme’s shape | is key to how the enzyme functions. |
| 6.RNA polymerase is | enzymes that is essential to the process of transcription |
| 7.Molecules of mRNA are | transcribed by RNA polymerases and later new protein molecules are synthesized based on the instructions coded in the mRNA. |
| 8.Changes in temperature and pH can affect | the shape of an enzyme’s active sites |
| 9.enzymes are only able to | work properly in a certain temperature and pH range. |
| 10.the enzyme catalase assists in the | breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen |
| 11.Enzymes work by | decreasing the amount of energy needed to activate the chemical reaction. |
| 12.without enzymes catalyzing metabolic reactions | cells would not be able to perform metabolism quickly enough to support life13. |
| 13.Most enzymes are | proteins |
| 14.enzymes are produced by | a cell’s ribosomes. |
| 15.Ribosomes produce specific enzymes to | act on specific substances, called substrates |
| 16.the enzyme catalase assists in the breakdown of | hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. |
| 17.hydrogen peroxide is | catalyses substrate |
| 18.Enzymes are also important for | the synthesis of new molecules |
| 19.The shape of an enzyme determines | how it works |
| 20.Most enzymes have a surface with | one or more deep folds |
| 21.The active sites match folds in | the substrate’s surface |
| 22.Thus, a particular enzyme fits against | its substrate like two adjacent puzzle pieces |
| 23.protein are in what food | steaks |
| 24.proteins is a good source of nutrients | its good to eat. you shouldn't eat to much of it. |
| 25.enzymes are a type of candy (-8 | no |
