Understanding Enzymes: Anabolic and Catabolic Reactions

1. Tuesday 9-8-15 • You need: • pick up copy of the notes • two different colors of map pencils • journal open to foldable

2. Enzymes

3. Today you will learn to identify enzymes and substrates and their roles within anabolic and catabolic reactions.

4. Metabolism • Metabolism – ALL Cellular chemical processes • Catabolism – breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones • Anabolism – building up larger molecules from smaller ones

5. An example of catabolism is digesting proteins. • An example of anabolism in building muscles. BOTH REQUIRE A GREAT DEAL OF ENERGY!!!!!!!!

6. activation energy - Energy needed for a catabolic or anabolic reaction • Enzymes are proteins. They speed up a chemical reactions AND lower the activation energy. • It is much much much easier for these reactions to occur in your body with enzymes.

7. Just like it is much easier for you to push a wheel barrow up a short hill than a tall one.

8. An enzyme is a protein that changes the rate, or speed, of a chemical reaction. Enzymes are involved in almost ALLmetabolic processes. They speed up digestion of food.

9. Substrates are the molecules being worked on. Substrates fit to the active site on an enzyme like a puzzle piece or a key in a lock. Remember, enzymes fit to substrates by SHAPE. SHAPE SPECIFIC

10. A substrate fits to the active site on an enzyme like a puzzle piece or a key in a lock. Remember, enzymes fit to substrates by SHAPE.

17. W – substrate X – enzyme Y – enzyme-substrate complex Z - product

18. Anabolic or catabolic?

19. Anabolic or catabolic?

20. Anabolic or catabolic?

21. Anabolic or catabolic?

22. Draw this in your journal on next available space Food Labels

23. What kinds of things effect enzyme function? • Temperature– enzymes work best at a ideal temperature any change higher or lower will make the enzyme slower

24. What kinds of things effect enzyme function? • Enzyme concentration – the more enzymes present, the more work they can do, so the more chemical reactions can occur. • How many more toothpicks can be broken by two people than one?

25. What kinds of things effect enzyme function? • A change in pH can denature an enzyme • Denatured enzyme – when the shape of a enzyme is changed, it will often not work as well. • What would happen if you try to break toothpicks with your fingers crossed? • What about if you bent the shaft on a screw diver?

26. Enzyme inhibition – sometimes other molecules will interfere with the action of an enzyme on a molecule • What would happen if pipe cleaners were added to the toothpicks?

27. Substrate concentration – enzymes have to “find” their substrates. The more there are, the easier they are to find. • What would happen if the toothpicks were more spread out? • On an Easter egg hunt does it get easier or harder to find eggs as other people find them?

28. There are two major enzyme systems in the human body: One is digestive and the other is metabolic. The digestive enzymes help break down all of the food that we eat so that it can be absorbed by the body. The metabolic enzymes help to run all of the systems of the body from respiratory system to the nervous system.

29. The seven categories of food (digestive) enzymes and their activities are: Cellulase: breaks down fibers. (cellulose) Lactase: breaks down dairy products. (lactose) Maltase: breaks down grains. (maltose) Sucrase: breaks down sugars. (sucrose) Notice the suffix changes from “ose” to “ase” as the enzyme breaks it down.

30. So, your 2 parts of an enzymatic reaction are the following: enzyme substrate During the toothpick lab, what represented the enzyme? What represented the substrate? During the puzzle lab, what represented the enzyme? What represented the substrate?
