Enzymes :D

Front

What are enzymes?

Back

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms.

Front

What is another name for enzymes?

Back

Biological catalysts.

Front

What happens to enzymes at high temperatures?

Back

Enzymes can denature, meaning their shape changes and they can no longer function properly.

Front

What happens when enzymes are cooled down?

Back

The enzyme slows down.

Front

What is the role of the active site in an enzyme?

Back

The active site is the region on the enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.

Front

How do enzymes affect the reaction rate?

Back

Enzymes increase the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction.

Front

What is denaturation in enzymes?

Back

Denaturation is the process where an enzyme loses its functional shape due to external factors like temperature or pH.

Front

Can enzymes be reused after a reaction?

Back

Yes, enzymes can be reused multiple times in chemical reactions.

Front

What factors can affect enzyme activity?

Back

Temperature, pH, and substrate concentration can all affect enzyme activity.

Front

What is the effect of extreme pH on enzymes?

Back

Extreme pH can denature enzymes, altering their shape and function.
