What do catalysts do?
speed up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy.
How do enzymes connect?
connect by ribosomes
Anabolic?
build up
Catabolic
break apart
The role of enzymes:
coordinating life process efficiency
How do enzymes work?
by colliding with substrate to form an enzyme-substrate complex
Temperature increases, what happens to kinetic energy?
increases/ works faster at 37 degrees
Temperature to high what happens to kinetic energy?
bonds break and reaction decrease
pH is either?
acidic or alkaline
enzymes have different optimum pH if its to far from optimum it ?
denatures
if pH enzyme environment changes?
it will be not optimal and will decrease
if changes interfere with bonding of active site what would happen?
the shape may change and bonds break in between amino acid chains
