Enzymes - Coggle Diagram
Enzymes
Something can effect the speed of reactions
substrate concentration
high concentration of substrates increases the chance of a reaction
optimum temperature
too cold
the substrate doesn't move as much so there is a lower chance for reaction
too hot
enzyme might move to much changing the shape of the active site
optimum ph
Biological Catalysts
lower activation energy
speeds up reaction
Can be reused
enzymes and substrates
enzymes and substrates are always moving
enzymes work by colliding into substrates to break them down build them up or change them
substrate fits into the enzyme
lock and key
called the active site
break down chemicals
larger molecules into smaller ones
Build up chemicals
smaller molecules into larger ones
change
change a molewcule into another
protease
proteins
amino acids
lipase
fats
fatty acids
carbohydrase
carbohydrates
glucose
