Enzymes, Enzymes - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Rate of reaction = amount of reactant used or product formed ÷ Time taken
- - - - proteases
        
        digest proteins
      - lipases
        
        digest fats (lipids)
      - carbohydrases
        
        digest carbs
  - - - reactions that build up complex substances (anabolic reactions)
      - reactions that break down complex substances (catabolic reactions)
    - - food is digested by digestive enzymes
        
        maltase: digests maltose to glucose
        
        protease: digests protein to amino acids
        
        amylase: digests starch to maltose
        
        lipase: digests fats to fatty acids and glycerol
      - some food molecules are large and insoluble in water, these molecules can't diffuse through the cell surface membrane
- - - - allow biochemical reactions to take place without drastic conditions such as high temperatures as less heat energy is required to start a reaction
        
        can break down or build up biological molecules
        
        are required in small amounts as they remain unchanged in chemical reactions they catalyse and can be reused
        
        they are substrate-specific.Substrates are the reactants that an enzyme acts on.Each enzyme can only act on the particular substrate of the reaction they are supposed to catalyse
        
        each enzyme catalyses a different reaction due to its unique 3-Dimensional
