Chapter 4: Enzymes - Catalysts of Reactions

hydrolysis

breaks complex molecules into simpler molecules by the addition of a water molecule

dehydration synthesis

complex molecules are synthesized from simple molecules by the removal of water

increase

Increased temperature causes an increase or decrease in molecular movement and collisions?

increase

Increased pressure causes an increase or decrease in molecular movement and collisions?

closer

Increased pressure moves molecules closer or farther from each other? 

enzyme

protein that speeds up reactions; catalyst

false

T/F: enzymes are altered during reactions

true

T/F: enzymes can be used multiple times

max velocity

more substrate means faster reaction rates until saturation point

ase
