| Term | Definition |
| metabolism | sum of all chemical reactions in the body |
| catabolic reaction | complex molecule is broken down into simpler ones with the release of energy |
| anabolic reaction | convert smaller particles into more complex ones requiring energy |
| enzyme | organic, chemical, metabolic, biological, catalyst that speeds up or slows down the rate of reaction w/o being used up in the reaction itself |
| catalyst | a substance that speeds up a reaction w/o being used up in the reaction itself |
| shape of enzyme | globular (highly folded) |
| substrate | substance with which the enzyme reacts |
| product | is the substance(s) the enzyme forms |
| factors that effect enzyme activity | temp and ph |
| denatured enzyme | an enzyme that has lost its shape and cannot carry out its function anymore |
| optimum | what is works best at |
| which group of biomolecules do enzymes belong | proteins |
| what enzyme is used to investigate the effects of enzymes? | catalase |
| what substrate used in experiment | hydrogen peroxide |
| how is enzyme activity measured | measure of froth |
| ph buffer | maintains a constant ph |
| what is bioprocessing | is the use of enzyme controlled reactions to produce a product |

| immobilised enzymes | enzymes that are fixed/trapped in an inert material. |
| advatanages of immobilised enzymes | can be reused soft drinks fructose |
| active site | is the part of the enzyme that combines with the substrate |
| specificty | an enzyme will react with one particular substrate |
