Daily Review - Enzymes (Task 5 Part 2)

Front

What binds to the active site of an enzyme?

Back

Substrate

Front

What is the effect of temperature on enzyme action?

Back

Enzymes have optimal temperature ranges for activity; their activity can increase or decrease with temperature changes.

Front

What are enzymes composed of?

Back

Amino acids

Front

What do the products of a reaction represent in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?

Back

The substances formed as a result of the reaction.

Front

What is the active site of an enzyme?

Back

The region on the enzyme where the substrate binds.

Front

What is the role of enzymes in biological reactions?

Back

Enzymes act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions without being consumed.

Front

What happens to enzyme activity at low temperatures?

Back

Enzyme activity is generally low at low temperatures.

Front

What happens to enzyme activity at high temperatures?

Back

Enzyme activity may increase up to a certain point but can denature at extreme temperatures.

Front

What is denaturation in the context of enzymes?

Back

Denaturation is the process where an enzyme loses its functional shape due to extreme conditions.

Front

What is a substrate in enzyme reactions?

Back

The reactant molecule that an enzyme acts upon.
