BSC 1010L ENZYMES QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A++
enzymes are important for:
1. growth
2. reproduction
3. metabolism
enzymes are:
biological catalysts that regulate chemical reactions
proteases and amylase are enzymes in the body that
break down protein and starch
what do enzymes do
increase rate of reactions by lowering activation energy
substrate (reactant)
molecule that binds to the highly specific active site of an enzyme
enzyme-substrate (ES) complex
where the substrate bonds to the enzyme in its active site
why are enzymes reusable
they are not changed or consumed in the reaction. When products are generated, they
are released from the enzyme's active site allowing other substrate molecules to bind
"lock and key model"
