Macromolecules and Enzymes

Type of protein that SPEEDS UP metabolic reactions in plants and animals without being permanently changed or destroyed

• The reactant

• Glucose

• Enzyme

• ATP

Changing the shape (such as overheating) of an enzyme results in the enzyme's loss of -

• ability to catalyze a reaction

• storage of inherited information

• net electrical charge

• storage of a large amount of chemical energy

Refer to the figure above. What temperature would be considered the optimum temperature for this enzyme's activity rate?

• 20 Degrees Celsius

• 60 Degrees Celsius

• 40 Degrees Celsius

• 30 Degrees Celsius
