Enzymes 29. Define enzyme: A type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. 30. What is another term for an enzyme? A catalyst (which is something that speeds things up) 31. Why are enzymes important? a. They reduce the activation energy, allowing homeostasis to be maintained. b. Give two examples: i. Enzymes help break down food (metabolism/digestion) ii. Enzymes help build protein 32. What are 3 characteristics of enzymes? Characteristics of Enzymes Specific Examples/Explanation Enzymes have a specific “active site” where only certain molecules can bond (that’s why it’s called a “lock and key”). Their names are specific to what they do, ex: amylase breaks down 20. Fill in the table for proteins: amylose. Polymer Protein polypeptide 25. Circle the group on the structure (pictured below) Copies DNA’s instructions and takes them protein
15.Fill in the blank: The arrangement of the nucleotides determines the kind of ___________________ created. Monomer 27. What is another term for protein? 24. Label the molecule’s parts (a – c). that is different for every one of these molecules. R-group
A (adenine), Peptide bonds (a type of covalent bond) Amino acid make proteins. Amino acid 26. What type of bonds form between amino acids? 23. What is the molecule pictured below? 14. Fill in the table for nucleic acids: Function Reusable Enzymes can be used over and over. Many different functions (ex: the protein hemoglobin transports oxygen) Sensitive 21. How many different amino acids are used to build proteins in organisms? _____20_______________ 22. Fill in the blanks: The order / arrangement of amino acids determines the type of protein made. Even one incorrect amino acid placement can change a protein’s structure and function.
Must stay within a set range of temperature and/or pH, otherwise they start to break apart. 33. What causes enzymes to no longer work? Hydrogen bonds start to break apart and the enzyme/protein Chemical Reactions stops working. 38. Match the following words with the proper definition: 34. Put the pictures of the reaction in order by placing a 1, 2, or 3 in the box above the picture. ___C___ Chemical Reactions 35. Describe what is happening on the lines below the picture. ___E___ Reactants 36. Label the letters (a – c) on the pictures below. 3

substrates
a. The amount of energy that is needed for a chemical reaction to start. b. When a reaction takes place at an equal rate in both directions. c. Change substances into different substances by breaking and forming bonds. d. A chemical reaction the releases more energy than it absorbs. e. The substances changed during a chemical reaction. f. The amount of energy that will break a bond between two atoms. g. The substances made by the chemical reaction. h. A chemical reaction that absorbs more energy that it releases. ___B___ Equilibrium ___H___ Endothermic ___A___ Activation Energy enzyme

Exothermic or Endothermic Exothermic or Endothermic The solid line represents a normal chemical reaction (with no enzyme), and the dotted line The bond energy in the products is lower than The bond energy of the products is higher represents the same reaction with an enzyme being used. You can see the catalyzed reaction the bond energy of the reactants, so the extra than the reactants, so the extra energy gets (one with the enzyme) requires less activation energy‐ so it’ll happen quicker. Uncatalyzed energy gets released to the surroundings as absorbed. reactions require more activation energy. light/heat.
