Enzymes
Words that you would encounter
Enzyme
"Lock"
Products
The substrate after being broken down
Substrate
"Key"
Only specific substrates can fit into specific enzyme's active site
Active Site
It is an site where the substrate binds complementarily to the enzyme
Lock and key method
The lock becomes the enzyme while the key becomes the substrate
The place where the key enters in is called the 'Active Site'
It becomes the Enzyme-Substrate Complex
The substrate breaks down and becomes product
Temperature On Enzyme Activity
Low Temp
the enzymes are inactive
High temp
The enzymes become denatured
Active site changes shape
As the temperature increases, the activity of enzymes increases and the speed of reaction also increases
Optimum Temp
The enzyme is most active
The rate of reaction is the fastest
Definition
The are proteins which function as biological catalysts that speed up rate of chemical reaction with being chemically changed
