Name types of energy.
- Chemical energy(from chemical reactions)
- Heat
- Electric
- Light
- Mechanic(kenetic and potential)
- Nuclear
What is Activation energy?
Its the energy needed to break old bonds to allow the reaction to happen
What is Enzyme-substrate complex?
Its what you call when enzymes connect to substrates
Name an example of simple simple enzymes.
Pepsin(the main digestive enzyme)
Name an example of a compound enzyme.
Catalase, an enzyme that neutralises H2O2 hydrogen peroxide to water and Oxygen
What is the function of apoenzyme?
Its the protein part of compound enzyme, they:
- Specify the direction of the enzyme biochemical reaction
- Recognises the substrate
What is the function of cofactors?
They are the inorganic part of enzymes its made up of elements like; K, Mg, Ca and they participate in making the structure of the Enzyme
What is Coenzyme?
Its the organic part of the enzyme, like vitamins
What affects enzymes?
- Temperature
- pH(potential of Hydrogen)
- Concentration of Substrate
- Concentration of enzyme
- Inhibitors(stuff that stick to the enzyme and don't allow the enzyme to do its job)
Why do high Temperature and pH don't increase the enzymes productivity after a certain point?
After optimum Temperature and optimum pH increment in either Temperature or pH will cause the enzyme to denaturate
Is the optimum Temperature of enzymes 37C○?
No
Do enzymes start reactions?
No
How are Enzymes named?
Substrate name+ase
What is the function of lipases?
Enzyme that digests(does Hydrolysis) triglycerides
What is the function of proteases?
An enzyme that digests proteins to polypeptides(many peptides)
What is the reaction site?
Its the region of the enzymes that connect to the substrate
