Catalyst Definition: A catalyst is a substance which can alter or speed up a chemical reaction, without itself being chemically changed at the end of the reaction.
Decomposition of Potassium chlorate (VII) decompose into white crystalline substance Potassium chloride Oxygen DecompositionThe breakdown of a complex substance into simpler substances
Decomposition of Potassium Chlorate (VII) 2 KCIO3 2 KCI 3 O2 heated to more Potassium chlorate (VII) Potassium chloride Oxygen than 400 ºC 2 KCIO3 2 KCI 3 O2 CATALYST Manganese (IV) oxide Potassium chlorate (VII) Potassium chloride Oxygen Gentle heating
Without manganese (IV) oxide With manganese (IV) oxide Temperature Without manganese (IV) oxide With manganese (IV) oxide Rate of oxygen production Manganese (IV) oxide is a catalyst

What are Enzymes • Biological catalysts • Made of Protein • Made in the cytoplasm under instruction from genes which are located on the chromosomes in the nucleus.
What are Enzymes Definition: Enzymes are biological catalysts made of protein which speed up the rate of chemical reactions without themselves being changed at the end of the reactions.
Chemical Reactions Enzyme Catalyse • Build up substances (Anabolic Reaction) A Enzyme B C • Break down substances (Catabolic Reaction) Enzyme Z X Y
Chemical Reactions Enzyme Catalyse • Reversible Reactions Enzyme A B C D
Build up Substances (Anabolic Reactions) Enzyme C A B Definition: Synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones.
Build up Substances (Anabolic Reactions) A Enzyme C B Examples Building Protein from Amino Acids Amino Acids Polypeptides Protein Building glycogen from glucose. Glucose Glycogen
Breakdown of Substances (Catabolic Reactions) X Enzyme Y Z Definition: Breaking down of large, complex molecules into simpler ones.
Breakdown of Substances (Catabolic Reactions) X Z Y Enzyme Examples Breakdown of Glucose during Respiration Breakdown of poisonous substances to harmless substances (Detoxification) Hydrogen peroxide Water + Oxygen Catalase (poisonous substance) (non-poisonous substances)
Chemical Reactions Enzyme Catalyse Recall Condensation Hydrolysis Two simple molecules One complex molecule H20 hydrolase synthetase H20 One complex molecule Two simple molecules
Chemical Reactions Enzyme Catalyse • Reversible Reactions Enzyme A B C D Definition: Reactions that proceed in the forward or backward reaction.
Chemical Reactions Enzyme Catalyse • Reversible Reactions Enzyme A B C D
With so much chemical reactions and enzymes around the world, how do we differentiate them?
Classification of Enzymes Enzymes can be classified according to chemical reactions they catalyse: Example: Hydrolysis – hydrolaseSynthesis – synthetase For instance Carbohydrases, proteases and lipases are digestive enzymes. Digestion is an example of hydrolysis. Carbohydrases, proteases and lipases are classified as hydrolases.
Naming of Enzymes • At first, they were named after scientists that discover them. • Enzymes are named after the substrate on which they act and with a suffix “-ase”.
Naming of Enzymes • Substrates based on the Type of Nutrient • (Carbohydrate, Proteins, Fats) • Specific names for each type of nutrient
I. Name that Enzyme !!! Carbohydrate ase -ase Substrate Name+
Naming of Enzymes Specific Carbohydrate (names ending with “ose”) Will have their ending of “ose” being replaced with “ase”.
I. Name that Enzyme !!! Maltose ase -ase Substrate Name +
I. Name that Enzyme !!! Cellulose ase
I. Name that Enzyme !!! Starch Amylase ase
I. Name that Enzyme !!! Protein ase Substrate Name + -ase
Naming of Enzymes Specific Protein Names will have “in” as endings. Pepsin Renin Proteins to polypeptides Polypeptides to amino acids
I. Name that Enzyme !!! Lipid ase -ase Substrate Name+
