New cards

What are the enzyme properties?

Specific and very efficient

2
New cards

How are enzymes specific?

Only catalyse one specific reaction

3
New cards

How are enzymes efficient?

High turnover rate -> Can convert many substrate molecules into products per unit time

4
New cards

What is activation energy?

Energy needed to start chemical reactions -> Energy needed to break existing chemical bonds in molecules

5
New cards

What do enzymes do in the body?

Lower activation energy of a reaction

6
New cards

What does enzymes lowering activation energy in the body do?

Reduces input of energy needed for reactions to take place -> can happen at lower temp
